Cristian Romero

Could’ve been a Tottenham great. Maybe should have been one. As it is,I’m not sorry to see him go. I feel that he let the club down badly last season when we needed him most, as a senior pro, a top class defender and captain. His conduct at the World Cup was abysmal and the fact that he has gone so cheap is a telling indicator that absolutely no one - NO ONE - except AM would touch him. Which, given the way AM players behave is no surprise. He’ll fit right in.

Goodbye Romero. I believe that THFC will be a far more harmonious place without you, from dressing room to the stands. Ergo, I won’t miss you.
 
Good luck to him. I supported him throughout and felt extremely agitated by those that claim ‘he preferred Argentina’, made up narratives about him and his trip to Argentina last season. When we barely know any of the facts and much of it was dismissed by De Zerbi. He was our captain yet hounded out by so many of our supporters.

I understand that he wasn’t perfect but he was our captain. He may have been a bit headless at times or appeared to be but you know why? He had so much defensive cover to do and so would run around trying to put fires out everywhere. He was a bit reckless at times but at other times he was determined strong and gave his all. The referees decided he was trouble and sent him off for challenges that would barely see a booking for other players.

So time came for a fresh challenge for him.

Thanks to Cristian Romero and all the very best to him at Atletico.

Spot on, this.

Bye bye.
 
Thinking about it he's 28...from his POV he's probably thinking I've given my best years to a club that's been a bit of a basket case (EL win aside). Yes, he was part of it, but I'd imagine he's more than happy to be out the door.
 
Such a weird transfer all around. One of the best defenders in the world leaves and it’s apparently brilliant for the club. It’ll be a far more harmonious place? Do me a favour. Based on what??

No doubt he’ll be a huge success at Atletico. At least it all happened fairly smoothly and we’ve already got our replacements in.
 
Any player/ manager who was an important part of us winning the Europa League (and he was) has my full respect, and will always be welcome back at the Lane as far as I'm concerned.

Christian Romero my favourite Tottenham player, good luck for the future.
 
Not quite sure how he was ‘hounded out’ by our fans; or why there wasn’t a queue around the block for ‘one of the best defenders in the world.’

Why do people insist this means anything? How is "he's not good enough" the ONLY possible explanation for the fact that only 3 of Europe's biggest teams were reportedly in for him? It's only rolled out by people with the narrative. Anyone who can critically think could give you any other number of reasons why.

His replacement, Jan Paul van Hecke, was apparently not wanted by anyone else. I guess he's just as brick with your limited thinking?
 
This feels like one of those romances that was magical over certain periods but never quite made it for various reasons. Partly him, partly the league and how it is adjudicated, partly our expectations for how a CB should operate.

Regardless, I will always have fond memories of a true talent and a maverick who made the game more interesting to watch.

All the best Cuti.
