Antonio Conte gave his press conference for our net game against Brentford this lunchtime and dropped the bombshell that Cuti Romero is going to be out of action for a good long while.
I’m uploading the video, but Jonathan Veal of Press Association Sport was at Hotspur Way and relayed the gaffer’s words on his social media account.
I take a view that whilst this is all part and parcel of the game, Spurs need to operate with a greater sense of certainty when dealing with players seeking to involve themselves with international games. the consequences of this particular player being out of action, leaves us back with the same faces before the window. In real terms, we are left staring at a 20-year-old boy and a goalkeeper that has already failed to meet the unforgiving standards of England’s top flight.
There is no way of dressing this up. It is an unmitigated disaster.
