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.

He was chosen as best defender in Serie A with Atalanta. So he was the opposite of a disaster in our league.


He has been a near top CB for Spurs despite his psycho Pepe like style.

that doesn’t matter. His aggressive style with the current disgusting bias and VAR in Italy would be a disaster imo.

This is silly point to make. It hasn't changed that much. He played years in Serie A and became league best defender in his final season. He may get yellows, but he wasn't some disaster that would risk not playing all the time.


He isnt either for Spurs. Very good defender who is bit hostile in his defending style, but overall been very good for Spurs.

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.
He was 24 when we officially sold our remaining 50% of his contract to Torino, but I agree that we didn't predict how his career will develop. Not a mistake not to keep him, but we could have gotten more money than the 12m euro we got from Genoa and Torino.

If you ask me, only Coman turned out to be bit of a loss because he had a reasonably successful career at Bayern.

And maybe Pogba for the reasons Alen mentioned. Even though we made a massive profit, we could've got a lot more from him both from a sporting and financial perspective had we kept him longer.

Other than that, JJ haven't signed/produced a lot of world beater 'talents' in general in the last 10-15 years.

It's not like Chelsea for example who sold Salah and De Bruyne who turned out to be club legends for their respective teams.

Infact the worst would probably be pre-calciopoli when we sold a young Henry to Arsenal for peanuts.

Kayode might end up being a regret, but that was a decision made at youth level and a serious outlier.

solid. still rough around the edges a bit, not a sophisticated player but besides bremer better than what we have
44 matches(NT&Club) only 2 injuries record during last season. He has been very impressive. We got Rugani instead because he had been rejected by rennes and cagliari.

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.
I don't agree with this.
He made Genoa captain at 21 or 22 . He was special. It's a shame we didn't keep him, but back then we were stacked and had a lot of central defenders on high wages that it would have been a revolution if we would have tried to accommodate him.

it was between him and Demiral and we have Chosen Merih to stay, it was bad mgmt decision it must be said.

Completely agree on the rest but i vividly remember him not impressing much in his last year(or maybe just the last months?) there, probably also due to Genoa having a poor squad overall but still, i always assumed that is why we eventually accepted to let him go for cheaper, aside from the fact we were rather stacked in the CB’s department at that time.
