I don't think clever is a word I'd ever associate with Romero.
As fans we get up in arms over a lack of exciting transfers every window and it's kind of understandable in the heat of the moment, but with a clear head it's generally ridiculous. When the club does go out and splash a load of cash, more often than not it's underwhelming anyway. Look at our big signing of the summer Xavi, it's February and only now is he starting to look somewhat useful on a regular basis. If we'd have signed anyone they'd likely not be bedded in until the injuries are all returned anyway. Plus, you don't just go out and sign someone every time you get an injury, any more than you go and sell someone the moment an injury returns.
Our squad is full, and then some, that half or more are out injured is not something that you can account for.
Romero, as a player, and even more so as Captain, should be level headed and in a way dispassionate enough to take this into consideration.
Perhaps, if he really is ranting at the lack of business, he should elaborate a little on which of his merry mates he'd like to be cut from the squad in order to make way for these new signings he would have liked?
Because it's ok for a bunch of fans on the internet to proclaim that Tel is shite, or Bentancur is shite and perma-crocked, and so can easily be shed from the squad, but is Romero really so callous as to want that? Because if he had put any thought into his words whatsoever then he should realise that this is what it would entail.
Clever? Not a chance.
