Think Romero could have the same impact on our team as vvd had with the bin dippers

He will be Key and influential in many ways , but one man cant be the whole Def, he does need an apt counter part to partner and complement him, but having him is defo a start

His stats would suggest elite, and a huge influence on Atalanta.

Have you had the luxury to watch him in a great deal of depth to come to this conclusion?

I and probably many others have seen very little of him to make any judgment, let alone a comparison with VVD

They've almost been more " Anel " than past Daniel Levy standards lol

Hi I am new here. I am here because I am a huge fan of Cristian “Cuti” Romero. I am a fan of Argentina national team. I have been visiting your forum for the last one month since the first day Hotspur interested in Romero. If Romero moves to the Spurs then I will be a Spurs fan like all of you.

Bienvenido amigo. Gracias por el bueno informacion. #COYS

I think the comparison to VVD is a bit much. But it is a small gripe of mine to assume barely anyone has watched him play because you might not have had the chance to see his games. This fella plays for one of the best teams in Italy, in the Champions League and is Argentina’s first choice centre back. I know a lot of people just watch the Prem and some even just watch Spurs (which is totally fine) but if you’ve got an interest in European football Romero isn’t someone obscure that you’d never end up seeing. Not meant to be a dig but just saying Romero had played consistently at a high enough level with plenty of exposure so it’s more than fair if someone has seen him play and has an informed opinion on him.

Another young defender like Lovato but hopefully with two of them in they’ll feel that’s adequate enough to release Romero.

Yeah that will be two centrebacks signed by them in a few days so definitely replacing Romero

Hate to be the party pooper but why are people so excited about this transfer? Have any of our top players been signed for a large sum e.g 20mill +? Whenever we splash the cash, it’s tended to not work out. Hope Romero turns out differently but we have little reason, looking at our past, to be optimistic.

Wow, that really is pooping of the highest order.

Thats the spirit.

Fwiw I see where you’re coming from, our big money transfers rarely seem to work out.

Fabrizio saying we have talks tonight, have a feeling this is when it breaks we’ve agreed a deal, and the deal will be announced Monday!

with all the Argentine sources saying it’s done, I told ya so ?

Hi I am new here. I am here because I am a huge fan of Cristian “Cuti” Romero. I am a fan of Argentina national team. I have been visiting your forum for the last one month since the first day Hotspur interested in Romero. If Romero moves to the Spurs then I will be a Spurs fan like all of you.

As a Romero fan, I would like to give you more input on Romero. Something that you guys probably have yet to know.
1. Argentina is 3-0-0 in Copa America with the goal difference of 3-0 in the 3 games that Romero started. So 3 victories and 3 clean sheets against three very good teams: Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil.
2. In those 3 games he played, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil almost had 0 chance to score against Argentina. He totally shut down both Cavani and Suarez in their match up. Against Brazil in the final, Brazil looked more dangerous only when Romero was substituted in the 79th minute.
3. He was among the all Copa America team along with Marquinhos.
4. He was (as you know) Serie A best defender and whoscored give him the highest rating among all defenders of serie A.
5. He also has the highest rating among all defenders in the Champions league with the ridiculous rating of 7.67.
6. According to whoscored, he was the 8th best player in the Champions league last season. Only Messi, Haaland, Kimmich, Cuadrado, Mbappe, CR7, and Rashford have higher rating than him.
7. He plays better in away games than home games.
8. Argentina missing their major international trophy for 28 years. If you want to know why they finally win it? 2 reasons: Emi Martinez and Cristian Romero. Argentina have pretty much the same starting 11 as in Copa America 2019. The only major difference this year: Emi Martinez and Cristian Romero. Both of them ended up making the Copa America team of the year.
9. Just like Arsenal making a huge mistake choosing Leno over Emi Martinez. Juventus also made the same mistake choosing the young De Light instead of Romero. De Light causing the Netherlands exit in the Euro and Romero causing the Argentina first trophy in 28 years.
10. His defensive attributes is spectacular as you guys watch in youtube, but his passing skill is just as good as his defensive attributes.
11. He plays bigger than his actual size of 6’1 (185 cm). The only 6’1 player I can think of that is as good as him in aerial duel is Cristiano Ronaldo.
12. If u want to know his style of play. My best comparison is: the prime Walter Samuel, one of the best defenders in his time.
13. He sometimes likes to go forward to help the attack when the situation is right. That is to answer why he got 2 assists last season for Atalanta.
14. Scaloni his coach in Argentina is a stubborn coach in that he likes to play players that he trusts. Romero was behind Otamendi, Pezzella, and Lucas Martinez Quarta in Argentina pecking order when Argentina called him in the WC qualifier right before the Copa America, but a couple of days of training is enough for convince Scaloni that Romero is his best defender.
15. His best defensive attribute is positioning 10/10 and marking 9/10 and heading 9/10.
16. He has 5 caps for Argentina. In all of them his player rating was always 7 to 9. Meaning that he is a very consistent player.
17. He rarely makes any mistake.
18. He rarely gets injured. In Copa America he got injured twice and he got frustrated and he said in his interview that he was frustrated because he never got injured in Atalanta.
19. He is one of those defenders that have positive impacts on the whole team. He will improve the team just because of his presence. No wonder why an Italian journalist calls him “Ronaldo of DC”.
20. €50 million is too good price for him, in a couple years, Europe will want to buy him for at least double that price.

Sorry for the long post.
Just like all of you, I can’t wait for Romero to join the Spurs.

Btw Cesar Luis Merlo is our very respected reporter. Believe what he says.

nice introduction. But if you are going to be my friend I don’t like lists, I like cakes.

We can all expect a champions league and premier league title within 2 years then

We sign Haaland tomorrow for £150 million, or we sign Callum Wilson for £20 million.

Who you more excited about?
