how has Romero been at Tottenham?

I’m not a glutton for punishment to watch their games too. Im a Jj fan ffs.

solid. still rough around the edges a bit, not a sophisticated player but besides bremer better than what we have

He’s been doing well overall, playing his trade for a team missing out on UCL more often than not, otherwise given his style of play i am convinced he’d be getting a red card every few weeks if he’d still played for us.

I don't watch Juve these days, let alone Tottenham.

But I know Romero is a genius.

We all here have regrets, I know.

You guys are just too proud to admit it.

Not sure about spurs but in Copa America he is been terrific and best CB of tournament, 96% tackling success, 3 fouls and 0 yellows. Fair to say he is getting better.

And soon he will hit his best CB years like Rugani.

He definitely made a name for himself with the NT where he is part of a generational team, however at club level he’s been more questionable, seen him get away with more than a few very nasty late tackles and lost of temper that could have easily been a straight red if he was wearing a Juventus shirt and playing his trade in Serie A.

Does seem like the type that will eventually get better with more experience and maturity though.

the only embarrasing thing here is that we managed to record a loss on this guy, the mgmt back then... dear god...

That sure was confusing, but i also do remember there was an excess of CB’s in our ranks at the time and choices needed to be taken, then Atalanta surely helped in raising his stock massively because in the last season at Genoa he was nothing special and perceived to be on a downward spiral.

Genoa bought Sturaro for €16.5 million - their second most expensive signing ever - in the deal that brought Romero to Juve. That means that Sturaro tripled his value during his mediocre Juve stint. Juve did not play Romero for two years and then went on to sell him for less than purchased. Sturaro is now in Serie C.

Clearly, the price tags were not based on actual footballing values.

right, i forgot we did some shady deal back then - also together with Romero, Atalanta bought from us Muratore for 7m and he was never worth that money.

Il nuovo Romero.

You will all cry for him.

You heard it here first.

Possible, but the chances for that to happen are less than 10%, and I am saying this because I checked all the u23 players that we sold in the last 10 years. We sold around 50-60 of them and most were excellent transfers. We were selling guys for 2, 3, 5, 10 or more million euro, and a huge number of them are now nobodies playing in the second or third leagues in Europe. We also got good money for players who didn't live up to the expectations (Caldara for 35m, Lemina for 20m etc.)

There are only 4 players whose transfers proved out bad or 50-50.
1. Coman - we sold him for 28m euro and he was worth (much) more later in his career.
2. Berardi - we sold our 50% of his contract for 10m euro, and I think he was worth more than that.
3. Romero - we sold him for 16+2+2 (20m) but he is worth (much) more than that.
3. Pogba - we sold him for a world record fee, but he was worth a lot to us too, so this can be counted as a 50-50 transfer.

2/3/4 mistakes out of 50-60 is not a bad record, is it?

 

[Xperd]

I can't believe some people are losing sleep over this transfer.

He may very well end up becoming a great player but you do not become a great team by farming a team of full of young 'potential' talents especially when said young talents have barely done anything of note in their young careers so far.

If JJ were at Bayern level financially, we would have been more than happy to keep all of these young players to warm the bench but the fact that we're signing starter level players through sales of next gen talents is an achievement in itself.

People complaining about our mercato deserve Allegro and his garbage football.

big mistake to sell future Ronald Koeman

if by this transfer we can avoid him coaching us in 30 years then im totally ok with it.

Kulusevski was a mistake also because when we sold him he was worth much more.

Luckily we have Weah now and we have nothing to worry about.

Dragusin will be number 5 and this is all coming from a club that

1) have a history of being poor at negotiating fees due to the level of league and incompetent directors
2) only recently started to invest in our youths development (next gen) and for once starting to see better quality of youngsters coming through.

 

[JuveJay]

Kulusevski was a mistake also because when we sold him he was worth much more.

We got 40m for him from Spurs, that seems fair. When he moves to West Ham or Napoli or Stuttgart I doubt they'll even pay that for him.

Not too concerned about how players perform for their NTs. Club football is the the benchmark these days imo.

From the little I’ve seen of Romero at Genoa and Spurs (not much) I concur with what others have said. Way too overly aggressive and card-happy. Would be a disaster with Serie A refs against us.

I’d also add Inmobile to this list. Not sure if he was U/23 when we sold him, but he had a fantastic Serie A career imo.

 

[JuveJay]

I suppose with Romero it remains to be seen if a really top team sign him from Spurs. There are many just good players who won trophies as key players in international teams.

Grosso and Perrotta were starters for World Champion teams ffs. Both good players but hardly world beaters.

I think of all of the great CBs we’ve had in the past and I struggle to lose sleep over losing players like Romero, Huijsen, Demiral, Dragusin etc.

It’s the attacking players that I’m more cut up over losing.
