Tottenham Captain Unloads Frustration Over Threadbare Squad: 'Disgraceful' Recruitment Strategy Exposed.
Cristian Romero has reignited tensions within Tottenham by calling out the club's disastrous recruitment strategy, labeling it "disgraceful" and highlighting the alarming squad shortage that left the team with just 11 players available for their recent match against Manchester City.
The Argentina defender, who had previously faced criticism for his outspoken views on social media, has again taken to Instagram to express his frustrations. Despite feeling unwell, Romero made himself available to help his teammates, but was forced off at halftime as Spurs trailed 2-0 before ultimately drawing 2-2 with two goals from Dominic Solanke.
The post comes just days after the closure of the mid-season transfer window, which saw Tottenham sign Conor Gallagher and Souza in a bid to bolster their squad. However, Romero's comments suggest that the club still has a long way to go in addressing its recruitment needs.
"It was unbelievable but true and disgraceful" that Spurs were forced to play with so few players, according to Romero. His words have been liked by several of his teammates, including Pedro Porro, Djed Spence, and James Maddison, who seem to share his frustration with the club's current situation.
This latest outburst from Romero marks a continuation of his outspoken comments on social media, which have caused controversy in the past. Despite this, Spurs manager Thomas Frank has sought to defend his captain, stating that he had not been fined for his previous comments and that they were simply a case of "young leaders making mistakes."
Romero's words are likely to spark more questions about his future at the club, particularly given his recent contract renewal and his status as team captain. As Spurs prepare for their next match, it remains to be seen how the club will respond to this latest criticism from one of its most senior players.

I mean, 11 players available is crazy talk! How are they even supposed to train with that many injuries and absences? It's just begging for mistakes on the pitch. And to make matters worse, they're signing players like Conor Gallagher in mid-season... I guess it's better than nothing, but seriously, can't they do some research before making these massive moves? 
but at the same time, you can't blame him, it is pretty dire situation for spurs...i dont think its fair that they have to play with 11 players against a top team like man city...i guess we'll just have to wait and see how thomas frank responds to cristian's comments 
. I mean, come on, 11 players available? That's just ridiculous 
. He's right to call out the club's recruitment strategy though - it's like they're not doing their homework 
. Conor Gallagher and Souza might seem like good signings on paper, but are they really gonna make a difference in the long run? 
I'm curious to see how Spurs respond to this, maybe some changes behind the scenes will help out on the pitch 
.
. The fact that they're playing with so few players is a clear indication that their recruitment strategy is failing miserably 
. It's like, what are Spurs even doing? Are they trying to make some kind of statement about their commitment to youth development or something? Newsflash: it's not working 
️.
. We need to start holding clubs accountable for their transfers and squad management. It's time for some transparency and accountability 
.
. Otherwise, they'll just be seen as a club that can't even get its own house in order 
! I mean, 11 players available? That's just not right 
#FixTheProblem Meanwhile, Spurs fans are gonna be on edge waiting for the dust to settle 
Who knows what's next for Romero or will this spark a real change in the squad? 
these signing decisions are just embarrassing 
tbf tho, i'm a lil worried about romero's future at the club, what if he gets benched or something 
. Like, can't they see that having a threadbare team just isn't gonna cut it? It's only a matter of time before one of your key players gets hurt or lets the team down and you're left scrambling to find cover. And then you gotta deal with the fallout from all the other players being unhappy too 
! 11 players available for a match? That's insane 
! And to think they signed Conor Gallagher and Souza in the middle of the season... idk, seems like they're just trying to save face 
. Can't wait to see how this drama unfolds 
!
Please. Cristian Romero is right on the money with his "disgraceful" comments. When will Spurs learn? 
. They keep signing players and then what? Nobody knows if they're good enough or if they'll even make the squad 
. The fact that they had to play with 11 players against City is just ridiculous 
The fact that they had to play with 11 players and still managed to draw 2-2 is a testament to their squad depth (or lack thereof). I mean, who signs Conor Gallagher and Souza in mid-season? Spurs need to step up their game ASAP or risk falling even further behind the competition 
. It's like they're trying to set up themselves for failure 
. I think it's no coincidence that these issues started popping up after the mid-season transfer window closed 
. They've made some of the most questionable signings in the league, and now they're paying the price 
.
. The players are speaking out because they're frustrated, and rightly so 
. Maybe it's time for Spurs to take a hard look at their recruitment strategy... or lack thereof 
The threadbare squad thing is just insane - 11 players available for a match? That's just asking for trouble
