Amazing news, love Sergio even though I'm not sure why he'd stay when he could start for most clubs. Best second keeper out there
Romero staying
- Thread starter Sassy Colin
- Start date
How about Szczesny? Casillas was number two at Madrid while still being in front of De Gea at Spain
He would not look out of place as Number 1 in any other club. This is interesting that he would stay.
Which other club do you know are in for him?
If you class Poland as a top WC nation you have a point, I'd stop short of that however. Casillas/De Gea is no longer the situation for Spain, and arguably went on too long in any case given the respective trajectories of the two men, but that's also a good point. I still maintain it is exceptional to see a national keeper for a top nation not starting for his club.How about Szczesny?

It'll be interesting to see who Argentina go for now, given they have Big Willy at a more illustrious club but a fine keeper in Armani playing regularly at home.
Fantastic news. We have the best number 1 and 2 (and maybe 3 considering Jose's words on Joel Castro Pereira) in the world. Don't need to sign a goalkeeper in the foreseeable future.
We have such a great keeper situation at the moment. We have De Gea, arguably the best goalkeeper in the world.
Sergio Romero, easily the best reserve goalkeeper in the league.
and if Henderson signs a new contract, we have two really good prospects in him and Pereira.

I'm obviously very happy that he is staying and that we have the best backup keeper in the world, but, I don't get his decision at all.
Like a lot of posters above have said, he would be starting in a lot of good clubs. Strange choice from him.

He's easily among the Top 5 GKs in the league and he's our back-up. Very glad he's staying, by far LvG's best signing apart from Martial and one of my favorite players.
Romero is at the biggest club in England, it's kinda different.
Great news.. I trust him 100% to cover Dave if needed no matter how big a game.
Weird post.
The guy has been to many other clubs before his time here. And here when when we won the EL, he was trusted to start & finish game despite having DDG around.
It's not like he's a third GK and not involved at all in our so called important games. For a second choice GK (behind DfDG), his situation is very good. And we're not Tottenham either.
Glad he stays. He seems like a nice guy
If Kane moves it would be for a bigger club. Romero would be going to a smaller club if he wants to start regularly. So very different situations and not really strange at all if the guy likes to play for one of the biggest most noticeable clubs in the world.
Agreed, a bit of a waste really as long as DDG is around.
Either he has no personal motivation to be #1, or conversely he suspects he might have a shot at it soon.
He did not have many.
Almost complete opposite situations. Unless Spurs are planning to drop Kane?
Either way, top bloke and a very good keeper.
He is played in a world cup final. Played the league cup final and won , played the Europa league final and won . His in his thirties now it's all about saving money.
He likes it here, gets handsomely payed for being a backup to a fellow Spanish speaker and he's got shots at titles which he'll help achieve (cup games).
He's been jerked around at clubs before so even though he won't be first choice here he's got a manager that trusts him and knowing that is a good feeling for a player.

So good to know we have a keeper so good in case we were to cash in on the Golden DeGoose.
Love that our backup and third choice are streets ahead of the Scousers with the Chucklebrothers aka Karius and Mingolet

Great news. Loan Pereira for the season, try to reward Sergio with a few League cup or FA Cup games against lower level teams. Best backup keeper out there, pleased he's sticking around.
Very happy with this.
Brilliant. Feckin shame he is missing the WC!
Out of interest what's the biggest league game he's played in while at Man. United?
Only reallly see him in cup games against limited attacks so difficult to judge how high his level would go e.g. if he played in a game like Arsenal away last season for example.
I can understand why people rate him because of his cup games but saying he's top 5 in the league is little bit OTT imo as he's very rarely played a 40 game season at any of the clubs he's actually been at. How would he handle things if he made a couple of mistakes ten weeks into the season like players like Hart, Lloris do for example?

Romero is more likely to win prestigious trophies with us than at any club he could likely start for. The exact opposite of Kane.
Against Tottenham at the start of 2015/2016 season. He continued to play till Swansea game I think when he made a couple of mistakes.
De Gea renewed after that and Romero returned to the bench.
No idea mate I’m not his agent. I’m sure the “best number 2 in the league” would have offers though. I’m glad his staying quality keeper, just throwing that question out there.

So Joel Pereira out on loan again?
Hopefully a championship loan like The young lad at Villa.
Who is saying he’s top 5 in the league? He’s one of the best no 2’s that there is, and one of the reasons is because he doesn’t angle for a move, but he’s nowhere near being a quality first team keeper in the PL.
I’m glad we have him, but would be extremely unsatidified if he was our no 1.
I feel really smug knowing we have DDG and Romero as our first team 'keepers and Liverpool have Minge and Krapius. 
I would imagine he is being paid very well to sit on our bench making the odd appearance and train with his mates every day. Some people just arent overly ambitious and he must be happy enough in his current situation. Great knowing we have someone we can depend on if needed.
Been solid for us in almost every game he has played. Glad he stays.
Kapardin on this very page.
It's a shame he doesn't get as many games as he should as he's a good keeper, but with De Gea ahead of him that was bound to be the case.
Different situation in all likelihood. Kane can literally pick any top club to go to, whereas Romero will be a starter elsewhere but it’ll be bottom of the top or top of the bottom team. We’re probably paying him the same a starter would make at nearly every other club as well.
I like Romero, good news.
Dunno, Scousers might say otherwise in light of recent events...
Great news that he has extended. Always been very solid every time he has stepped into goals for us.
