Cristian Romero

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but would we be looking to sign wide players like Savinho if RDZ is planning to play a back three, presumably with wing-backs providing the width?

He's come out (apparently) and said he wants to stay

We'll we've already spent a huge amount on fee and wages for Van Hecke and Senessi!

I won’t say no to a fully fit and motivated Romero. Plus now we have a manager who might speak up when he's unfairly targeted for challenges VVD and Gabriel routinely gets away with unpunished.

This might be a curve ball for the owners .

Get players in early, pay the fees, then get the selling done later, recoup some money.

It might put the brakes on other deals if THEY thought Romero would be off (or wants to go) and 50-60m was coming their way.

Personally I think I'm settled on him leaving.

It’s unclear what’s going on, but I’m beginning to suspect that ENIC TNG is no better at 3D chess than it was at tiddlywinks.

Yeah, I had written Romero off as "sold" this summer.
If he stays, that means we have a LOT of centre backs.
If his knee ligament is still sore, that worries me, doesn't sound like it will be fixed in 3 days, sounds more likely to snap.


I saw a quote where Romero said “I knew this could happen to me. I had a little issue there, I felt it again, but in 3 or 4 days I’ll be fine again, so that’s that”.“It’s nothing serious. Keep the head up and I'll come back stronger than before”.

Scaloni confirmed that medical tests on Romero would be conducted between Tuesday and Wednesday.
"We don't know the extent of the issue. It is, of course, something he had already been dealing with," he said.
"Let's hope it's nothing, not just because he is an important player. Even if he isn't there, whoever steps in will do a good job, but it is always better to have everyone available.
"We don't know yet. He'll undergo tests tomorrow or the day after," the coach said in the post-match news conference.
The Tottenham defender was first injured in mid-April and those initial tests done by the club showed an injury to his knee ligament. He subsequently missed the last six games of the Premier League season.
According to reports in Argentina, Romero felt pain in the same knee during Monday's match and will not play vs. Jordan in order to rest a few days.
