Tottenham manager Frank states Romero social media rant handled inside club

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank announced on Thursday that Cristian Romero's bold statements on social media concerning the teams transfer strategy have been managed within the organisation, while he avoided confirming any punishment for the Spurs captain.

Romero grabbed attention on Monday, shortly after the transfer period ended, by posting on Instagram about competing while unwell during Sundays 2-2 stalemate with Manchester City, and labelling it shameful that the team had just 11 available players.

This opinion struck a chord with numerous Tottenham supporters, considering the north London sides minimal moves in the market following the arrival of Conor Gallagher on January 14, particularly with nine squad members sidelined by injuries since early 2026.

However, ahead of Saturdays away fixture against Manchester United, Frank commented: If you wish to understand his intentions, you should certainly consult him directly. That remains the proper approach to this matter.

Cuti, as Romero is known, possesses a highly intense personality both as an individual and athlete. He commits fully on the field and holds strong aspirations to succeed in every match.

Frank continued: At times, such traits can lead to emotional reactions, as seen recently. We have addressed this issue privately within the group.

When pressed on potential fines or sanctions for Romero, who also voiced frustrations online after the 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth on January 7, Frank sidestepped a clear response and noted: Various methods exist for handling situations. Cuti has contributed significantly to our efforts this season and in previous ones.

I would not have chosen to share that publicly online. That is my view.

The advantage of text posts lies in their interpretability, yet only Cuti or those who have discussed it with him truly grasp the intent.

This incident highlights Cutis deep passion, his drive to triumph, and his commitment to supporting teammates in pursuing major successes, though you ought to inquire with him during your next conversation.
