Cristian Romero

England had similar paths in prior tournaments under Southgate but still slipped up in the Croatia and France games. Argentina made their finals and won one of them. We're still happy to call our captain world class though.

I don't think you can really use the opposition as a gauge for the world class tag. It is what it is, and you beat who is in front of you right?

People aren't calling Kane world class off of the back of a World Cup. They are looking back at him putting in ridiculous numbers ten plus seasons in a row. Romero has barely had a consistent 'world class' season and that is the difference - he doesn't do anything consistently, except lose his head....

England didn't have a Messi (or referee) to bail them out when it mattered

Argentina also looked ropey at the back and needed the forward players to get them through, less to do with their defence.

In Romeros defence, its had to win things at Spurs, but for him to be considered world class he needs to go to Madrid and start winning things domestically, or at least going close.

Or at least start putting in more than a handful of good games a season

Just wondering... what would people prefer? A £35M transfer to Atletico or a £50M one to the gooners???

Everyone wants (or at least understands the reasons for) Romero to be gone this summer. No one is going to lose any sleep over it. However, them lot would see it as a victory to take our current captain and would celebrate it despite that.

So Atletico for me. Plus I think I’ll enjoy watching him in the champions league under Simeone

he was the best defender in Serie A which led us to purchase him, his first couple of season here he was extraordinarily good
 
Manager turn around in the last 5 years, hardly conducive to consistency. Might also explain why performances and preference for the settled nature of international football.

Nuno
Antonio
Stel
Mason (cant remember in what order)
Ange
Frank
Tudor
RDZ

Romero aside from the convo, its hardly like the club as a whole or any player has managed a long level of consistency in that mess.

End of the day he is going, Athletico are a huge club and good luck to him, he will do well there. He goes with my thanks for the EL win

Romero has played 350 senior games. Fans needs to look at the player across that many minutes of football, and then what you actually find is an incredible footballer. Like Kane, there is a reason he is rated at the highest elite level. If his heart was in Spurs and he wanted to fight all our other defenders for a shirt there is no doubt in my mind that he'd win it. Yes, he'd have to adapt a little and stay a little calmer on the pitch but he would easily rated as the best defender in the PL alongside the Arsenal pair, especially Saliba.
