Romero is quality, for me personally he's hopefully going to be our best Cb since Richard Gough. I love Ledley, Jan and Toby but only thing wrong with Gough was homesickness. Bloke was absolute top drawer.
Not quite right though was it? I loved Gough - pure Rolls Royce, but wasn’t the problem ‘playing away’? ?

I'll translate an article for you, Cristian, my sweet prince.


Atalanta, goodbye Romero

Goodbye day for Christian Romero who left Atalanta, heading for Tottenham . The Argentine defender flew to London where the Spurs await him. Operation of 50 million euros, with Barcelona who have tried to enter in the last hours, but without success. Demiral is ready to replace Romero . Transaction defined with Juventus on loan with redemption right.

I am so excited by this signing. He just looks like a true defender who will give us more solidity overall and make others around him look better. I’m also curious to see how he looks in Nuno’s setup as Atalanta really elect to play the ball on the ground more. His passing looks good but it’s hard to know if he’s a guy who can ping it, etc. Losing Toby’s ability to do that I think can’t be understated, it’s really offered a lot of chance creation and generally pressure release opportunities.

I don't know if its already been asked so sorry if it sounds like ground hog day - but Cuti, is that a nickname or a shortening of sorts for Christian? Or is he literally being called a Cutie?

His positive attitude hopefully encapsulates that of everyone now involved in running the place.
I'd love to know what future developments Fabio discussed with the guy that has him so impressed.
Yes agree the mood in the camp seems low and players look like they have low esteem, new positive signings and new manager,players etc will help improve the mood. Looking forward to the future with or without Kane.

Argentinian nickname apparently means "holiday"
