Sometimes you gotta set the manager up for success and that means moving Romero on. One bad apple will split this dressing room and see the manic, skinny Norsk undermined and on his own. Get the deal done

"All springer spaniels by nature desire knowledge."
Bloody hell. Is this what people pay all that money for?
Oh right, thanks for that.
If an acceptable bid comes in yes, other than that you can't let players dictate their price tags and when they want to leave the club, he's got to suck it up.
And let's be real he may be indulged and have a big ego but he's hardly Joey Barton, how in God's name can a player like him split the dressing room lol
You actually trying to sound like a tosser or is it just a natural gift?
Well I mean we could have activated the 6m clause (like any club would have) and then loaned him out to Sunderland or anyone else.
Why would Romero be a bad apple?
Also, setting a Spurs manager up for success NEVER involves selling your best players because you already know there is zero chance they will be replaced with a similar quality of player.
If we sell Romero it will be an overpriced mid wage type like Branthwaite who can’t even get in the England team or a punt from Europe that might reach his level in 2-3 seasons
Sorry, but that isn’t setting Frank up to succeed
You are correct...to an extent.
But the key is, does he really wants to stay here ? We dont want to sell our best players but at same time, we should not keep a player who doesnt want to stay.
Romero is not a bad apple...in a world cup next summer, how confident are we that Romero is going to give his all or take it easy and not go that extra to play for us and protect himself for country ? In past, numerous times, he has done this...to put country first over club.
I would love to keep Romero and make him even club captain, IF he signs a new deal. But if he says no or drags his feet, its better to sell him now and get a option who will commit 100% for club.
Ideally if we sell Romero for 50m or 60m, I hope we go get a Tapsoba
Why not? I thought you had to reduce your squad from 25 for each CT player below 3 that you don't have- can put you to a squad size of 22 without any.It.
Doesn't.
Work.
Like.
That.

Adding KWP or Cirkin does nothing but add KWP or Cirkin.

We won’t get Tapsoba
We have never replaced an elite player that we’ve sold with a similar level.
If Romero really wants to ruin his legacy at the club after wining the EL and decides to kick up a stink, maybe don’t turn up for pre season, then yeah you look to take 60m.
Most likely is he turns up and wants to be in his best shape for the World Cup this summer
Just in order of fairness, Hercules didn't post this. Another poster was quoting Hericletus
He's better than all of them though.
Personally, I think him attacking the space off the left is a brilliant position for him. So many of the goals he scores are peak Sonny.
Fair Enough! But I think the boy for that reported figure would give us something we haven't had for a while. Pace and directness. I'll accept he misses a few chances, but he still gets in those positions to score 1 in 4 imo. I think he is a real handful at his best.
We need a clinical finisher imo we don't have one
Agreed - it’s one of the paradoxes of our squad!!
Accepted, but I think the boy has all the attributes to become just that. Quick, brave, strong and yes at 24 he does need to work on his composure but....
