Cristian Romero

Porro for me - Genuinely loves the club and is a first team regular....

This.

Porro is currently rated the best defender at the WC and was voted MotM against the mighty France plus has proved to be almost impervious to our injury curse!

No chance an egomaniac like Romero is going to settle for not being automatic first choice after we’ve splashed out on 2 CBs with better passing figures whilst Danso is a more reliable defender and also a far better club ambassador.

I think that Cuti would fit in well with the other Prima Donnas at Mourinho’s Madrid and hope that we can make use of that special partnership to extract a decent fee for him…

I think Romero may be the first Spurs player ever I really can't stand. He's been a prick from the get go, played one game missed the next with a knee injury then fudged off back to Argentina during covid and then had to quarantine for 10 days before he'd even made his epl debut.
Probably the worst captain the club have ever had, absolute thunderclam of a human being. Can't wait for him to be gone.

And everyone has hyped him up over this World cup as being one of the best defenders in the world.

Well, apart from the FACT that he is NOT allowed to make political points in FIFA sanctioned matches, it was pretty classless. He must know that holding that banner was spitting in the eye of the people who have been paying his wages for the last four years. So, I guess it would have been okay for the England players to run on the pitch with a Maggie Thatcher GOTCHA banner with the Belgrano going down too eh? Stupid comment!

Not really, ooh FIFA sanctioned matches … the same organisation that … let’s not get into that shall we … FIFA don’t have a moral bone in that organisation whatsoever so to reference them as a yardstick alone tells me where you are at.

Would it have been ok for England to have run on to the pitch with anything Maggie thatcher banner would be tasteless in itself. But if they if they chose to parade a banner and then England had a similar retort to what Romero was actually holding up would be fair game.

I think we're definitely worse off in football terms. But you look at the vitriol he gets and it's hard to disagree that a move is best.

This is the sad reality, I agree.
Vitriol from our supporters, vitriolic responses to every tackle from PGMOL employees and pundits...it's best for all, but what a shame because I think DeZerbi's his kind of manager...
 
Gilzeantoscore said:
Ha, ha and there were people on here saying he wasn't an unlikable cnut. I bet he wouldn't have been posing with that Malvinas banner if he had to play another season in England. Glad he has gone.

Maybe the Treasury could announce that all his tax revenues from the past 4 years have been ringfenced to pay for future defence spending on garrisoning the Falklands

I think last season he, along with the majority of the squad, didn’t rate the managers we had until RDZ. Him and VDV definitely prefer playing front foot football and that’s when we can see the best of him. When fit under Ange he was good. I think he would be good under De Zerbi, but after the last game furore I think he wants to move him on.

I’ve said before though - his card is marked in England. Refs hold his challenges to a different standard and card threshold than other players. A sale this window works out best for both parties, he’s arguably our most valuable player from last seasons squad so may as well cash in.

He’s dirty. That’s why referees don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. He has given himself no wiggle room with the stupid tackles he has committed over the years.
 
Re the Falklands/Malvinas, the people who actually live there voted overwhelmingly to remain a UK overseas territory. I support the Argentinians right to want to claim the territory, but it does seem to go against what the people who live there want.

You do know it’s a majority of expats that have made lives out there … it’s no surprise that they choose to remain

It’s not a majority of ex pats. The great majority are Falkland Islanders born and bred. They’re proud to be Falklanders and they’re proud to be British citizens.

Not according to the census the population that are island born and bred historically account for 40% with backgrounds from France, Spain, Scandi, Argentina, Wales, Scotland and England. With 60% being immigrants from mainly England.

You have to separate the Argentina Romero and the Tottenham one. For Argentina he is one of the best in the world. For Spurs, he is just above average compared to other PL defenders and is guaranteed to miss good parts of the season with either an injury or suspensions.

Did you forget staying behind in Argentina long after he's due back?

Yes, he is the only dirty player in the EPL. I sense emotional decisions being made on this thread. Captain Cuti Romero is a Spurs player and has been unfairly treated in the EPL. He is a world class defender who has made errors like every other defender. He was one of the team who won us our Europa League! I hope he stays at Spurs!

He’s as good as gone matey…. I wish some of his antics on and off the pitch were dulled down a little, he just opens a can of worms … ability wise he is world class.

Why do they have a right to claim it?

They have a 'right' to advance an argument that the islands should belong to Argentina. From what I've read their argument is not obviously unreasonable or illogical. The problem is that the historical arguments have been cherry-picked by both parties to suit their claims. The right of self determination for the current population of the islands is a pretty powerful factor but again I can see why Argentina would feel that is an inbuilt bias. I don't see any way to resolve the competing claims.
