Cristian Romero

If the starting CB in two World Cup finals in a row isn’t world class, then I’m deadset not here. That’s like almost the most perfect literal definition of it.

I don’t think the reported price is connected to Romero’s ability. He was one of the players who reportedly told RDZ he wanted to leave in the summer and inspired the “help me stay up or drown with me” quotes. We’ve also signed JPvH and Senesi so clubs are fully aware that both he and we want to sell him. Given these circumstances, £40m is a reasonable price in my opinion.

As i said before i will be sorry to see him go, but he is worth more then 40 million IMO.

Maybe we should loan him for a season and keep the option of bringing him back if van Hecke isn't actually that great? He's got long enough on his contract for us to be able to do that

Getting his 10m wages off the books means 40m is reasonable. He is well worth 40m though. Shame we can't get a bidding war going for him, but his reputation in the UK isn't great. He is seen as rash and a liability. Its an over exaggeration. In a good side he's less of liability too as there is less for him to mop up.

I think Guimares has well and truly told Saudi Sportswashing Machine he wants to go. Geordies still get £80m.

Maybe we should zip it a bit even if it's great straightforwardness from the manager.

Who classes him as World Class?

You only have to look through this thread.

Messi

He is a good footballer, heaven forbid fans back a player that wears the shirt for being good.

You don't win a WC, two Copa America, EL player of the season (post us winning it) without being abit good.

His first season here he was absolutely superb, thrived under Conte

I think he should go.....and I think he'll regret going

Messi

I wouldn't really take what a player says about a team mate that seriously, but he's entitled to his opinion but it's just that a singular opinion of Messi.

Had DeZerbi come in post Conte or Ange I would imagine he would have gelled with Romero. Just think the damage had already been done.

I think the greatest player to ever grace the game opinion outweighs ours.
