Cristian Romero

We could hold out for another £5-10M for Spence & Romero and have them at the training ground, even playing in games to “not dilute their value” until Sep 1.

We could have waited until later in the summer and haggled an extra £5-10M off the Van Hecke & Tonalo deals.

We could have no been prepared to pay any more than Man Utd were to get Fernandes.

This is backing the manager!

It’s also reality. He was only worth £60+ million in the imaginations of some of our supporters.

Said on here a few weeks ago that we’d get £30 - £40 million for him, because that’s where his flawed style of playing and his footballing character place his worth to other teams.

His replacement, Jan Paul van Hecke, was apparently not wanted by anyone else. I guess he's just as brick with your limited thinking?

Always risky using an unknown conclusion to prove your point!

I'm not quite sure what brought that lecture on?

Yes you're right, this 'one of the best defenders in the world' that made a hell of a lot of fudge ups on and off the pitch - our captain fantastic guided us to the dizzy heights of 17th in the 60% of league games he was actually available for.

I live in fear of how this squad will cope this season without him....

You’re confusing form and ability again.

Not really. He’s already proven himself as a Premier League-level defender, played at a World Cup. Pretty hard to argue he’s not a quality defender.

Now he, like many others, might not live up to expectations at Spurs. But you can’t tell me he’s being written off as terrible like Romero is because of a lack of teams interested in him?

Anyone can move to our club and not walk the walk. Period.

Besides...My point was, use someone that has joined, been a success with us, but noone else was interested in when we signed them. Puts ones point on much more solid ground
