Transfer Window Summer 26/27

[USspur]

Among all parties, conviction is starting to prevail that the transfer of Cody Gakpo to Spurs is becoming very realistic. Chance of success is now quite high. But Liverpool still needs to agree. Manager Roberto De Zerbi hasn't let go so far. It’s Gakpo all the way⚪️

Good article about Romero's time here. Sums it up prerry well. I can try to copy and paste if folks are blocked via the link.

Romero has always inspired such conflicting emotions among Tottenham fans that nobody could ever be certain what they felt for him https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/75...hared_gift_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta

Nice rewriting of history...

Romero could be an erratic player. He seemed to lose concentration easily. But a few times each season, when in rare equilibrium, he could perform at an unfathomably high level.

Those games were rare, but Bilbao was one of them. The quality of his defending — his tackling, his heading, his blocking — was of a remarkably high standard. From the kick-off onwards, when he barged into Manchester United’s half to gather the players in that pre-match huddle, he got right under Manchester United’s skin and stayed there.


He made at least 2 huge errors in that final, lucky we got away with them.

Made over 100 appearances for us, I'd say he played well (really well) in around 9 or 10

Talented player, unfortunately very erratic (not to say the dreaded S word) in a position where consistency is maybe the most important player quality.

Legitimately, do you work for the Lewises? A bit too much of a company man to be Spurs. It's a pretty fair article about his shortcomings. But i think most are in agreement that we're better off with Van Hecke and VDV.

No

Been Spurs for quite a few decades now

It's a pretty fair article about his shortcomings.

They tried to rewrite the history of that EL final

But i think most are in agreement that we're better off with Van Hecke and VDV.

Agree, 100%

As I said - Romero made over 100 appearances for us, I'd say he played well (really well) in around 9 or 10

Apparently Romero had become quite disruptive in the dressing room so it’s better he’s going if that was the case.

Did he not get man of the match in that final, or was it player of the tournament?

Great players raise their game when it matters, Romero is a bit like that, except more like he tries less when he thinks it doesn't matter so much. Not a good pick for a versus Wolves or Burnley etc.

Say's he always gave everything, really?

A cup winning captain, forever a legend and should be welcomed back to the club at anytime. Right time to move on for all. He dug us out more than he let us down.

 

[USspur]

I won’t miss him

He let us down a lot on and off the field

Cup winning captain?

You're confusing him with Son - now that's a legend.
