Cristian Romero

Recency bias. He's in a good run of form, in a system that puts a lot of emphasis on the CBs being very physical and aggressive, and right now it's going quite well for him. But as you say, he can be errror-prone.

Yeah id certainly wait at least a solid season before calling him a 'beast' and a 'monster'.
 
It's interesting because I would say that's probably the opposite of how a lot of Spurs fans view him.

He's been generally very good since arriving, for both Spurs and Argentina.

This season though he's been crap and has been at fault for a large number of the goals we've conceded.

VDV has a higher ceiling.

"recency Bias" and "good run"...this place it's sthg...

I get that doesn't have the respect he deserves because of his bad boy Aura, rightfully earned in more than one way.

Yet he has been great since very young and specially since his Atlanta days and he ain't error prone, he plays in a system that tends to expose the CBs time and again and he has a very recognizable winning attitude going forward many times and playing many progressive passes too.

The Ducthie it's great too, they make a great partnership and both play in a systme that asks a lot of them thw whole time and needs them to be very proactive and agressive, that sometimes can expose them, but their talnt it's there to be seen even ina match where they can be caught off guard.

Yes, there has been a couple of games this season that due to Spurs not getting results he went too many times upfront and risk a bit too much or be in some ocassion over the top agressive in his offensive approach, not in his marking, he is a td more calm after his last episode against Enzo with CHelsea, but I can't recall a bad season from him since his debut in South America.

His worst problem in late years was getting injured too many times and coming back from those, he even played the WC Final injured.

Regarding VDV higher ceiling, everyone it's entitled to their opinion and I really like the Ducth a lot and I get it in some sens. Also Romero's personality goes both ways, it's not someone to be loved or liked by rivals and he is older than VDV, yet already a WC winner with a huge personality, that celing it's already high.

I'll say that the young Dutch is faster, really fecking fast, great pace, but Romero is a tad better with the ball, specially with better passing and that both are really great when comes to defend and be proactive. Romero also has quite a good scoring ability, in fact being the EPl defender with more goals last year. He must score more with his feet thought, he has a great shot in him and so far a bit unlucky of not having more golas and more assists.

I never felt Spurs are a place for his type of mentality, you lot are a more conservative side, the fella sometimes can go over the top in his need of winning, he is like a 70's defender in modern era.

Man, we can beg to differ, no problem, but if you think that it's recency bias with a player that was named Serie A defender of the year back then in 2020/21 and with quite a number of titles at International competitions, sthg it's a bit off.
 
I can’t remember ever seeing an active player publicly call out the top brass at his own club like this before.



The truth is, I would say no comment, but... Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, if one doesn't do well, they strengthen again, and now they're seeing results.Those are the things to imitate.The last few years, it's always the same people responsible [at Tottenham].Hopefully, they [Tottenham hierarchy] realise who the true responsible ones are, and we move forward because it’s a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year."

Aka his agent has informed him there is interest from a club he wants to move to. Criticising Spurs for literally doing what Spurs have done since forever can only be to engineer a move.

On what planet could Spurs be challenging for the title every year, let alone easily? They don't have the profile to attract the players who could get them there or keep them very long if they did manage to get them.
