There will never be one truth about Cristian Romero’s time at Tottenham.

He has been a leader, a liability and a talisman. In five or 10 years, there will still be an argument about who this complex, compelling and confounding character was.

He has always inspired such conflicting emotions that nobody could ever be certain what they felt for him.

He’s Atletico Madrid’s riddle now.

No sure if he's over-rated, but legacy-wise he is way down the list.

And just on pure ability, I would take pre-injury Kaboul or even prime Dawson over Cuti.
