Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has criticised the club for selling their best players and not properly reinvesting the proceeds.
The Argentina international, who was forced off with an injury in Sunday’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea, said it was “always the same people responsible” for leaving the Spurs squad short.
Romero told Spanish broadcaster Telemundo Deportes: “Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn’t do well, strengthens again, and now they’re seeing results. Those are the things to imitate.
“You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they (the board) realise it.
“The last few years, it’s always the same - first the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it’s always the same people responsible.
“Hopefully they 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.”
Romero is playing under his fifth manager, including interim bosses, in four years at Tottenham and has seen the likes of Harry Kane, Steven Bergwijn, Davinson Sanchez and Emerson Royal depart.
However, in the summer the club had a net spend of more than £70million after breaking their transfer record to sign striker Dominic Solanke for an initial £55m and also bringing in Leeds youngster Archie Gray for £30m.
