I’ve never disliked a club captain more but this is why Arsenal transfer can’t happen

Wait 5 sec.

Cristian Romero can dream of a move to Arsenal but in reality, it’s a transfer that will never be sanctioned.That’s the view of talkSPORT’s Abbi Summers who has never hidden her disapproval of the Spurs captain.Romero’s antics have at times angered Abbi SummersGettySummers has issued multiple passionate rants pertaining to the Argentine’s succession of controversial incidents both on and off the pitch.talkSPORT understands Romero is set to join Atletico Madrid despite Tottenham initially agreeing a £34million deal with Napoli. Meanwhile, Inter Milan held talks with the defender earlier this summer. However, shock reports could point to an almighty twist in the future of Romero with recent suggestions that bitter rivals Arsenal could be ready to swoop for Romero has sparked Summers into yet another rant on the Spurs skipper.The Gunners are reportedly open to bolstering their back line with William Saliba set for an extended spell on the sidelines due to a back injury.The idea of Romero, who is under contract until 2029, moving to Arsenal instantly brings back memories of Sol Campbell’s infamous move across the north London divide in 2001 which still haunts Tottenham fans 25 years later.Does Summers believe Romero would entertain a move to Arsenal?“I don’t know him personally, he could be the nicest bloke in the world but I can only judge him as a footballer and the type of character I see on the pitch,” Summers said of Romero on her new talkSPORT YouTube channel.“And yeah, I could see that actually being something he’d be open to. Why wouldn’t you want to go to the champions, let’s be honest?”“He clearly doesn’t have any love, care or respect for Spurs in my opinion. I don’t feel like I’ve ever seen that from him.“It’s always been Argentina first, Spurs second.”Summers says Romero lacks respect for Spurs whilst pouring all his passion into playing for his countryGettyDespite that, Summers is not convinced that a move to Arsenal would ever be a realistic opportunity for the Argentine.“I cannot see a world where Tottenham would ever sanction a move,” she added. “We’re not just talking about a young player here. We’re talking about a senior player who is the club captain crossing the divide, going to Arsenal.“I cannot see a world where Tottenham, the hierarchy – even though I don’t think much of them – I just don’t think that they would allow that to happen.“Let’s be honest, if that actually occurred and he went and played for Arsenal, imagine what that would be like in a north London derby.“I don’t even know if he’d be able to enter Tottenham High Road. I don’t even know if he’d be able to enter the stadium.Sol Campbell was subjected to a tyrant of abuse following his switch to ArsenalGetty“I think where we’re so deeply traumatised and scarred by the Sol Campbell stuff, you can’t let your captain or any player go to Arsenal.“I wouldn’t care if he went to Man United, Man City or somewhere else but we’re talking about a club like Arsenal. “It’s the same with Chelsea. Spurs don’t do business with Chelsea, we don’t do business with Arsenal and we’re certainly not going to allow the club captain, even if that’s what he wants, to make that move.”No fee would be enough to sell Romero to ArsenalSummers even claimed that a nine-figure sum would not be enough to tempt Spurs into strengthening their rivals ahead of next season’s title defence.“It doesn’t matter if Arsenal offered me £100million. You cannot in principle let the captain of your football club go to your biggest rivals.“I don’t really care what he goes for, I just want him away from the club but I do care that the location is not Arsenal.Summer can usually be seen with this kind of expression when talking about Romero“I think he would be a perfect fit for someone like Cheslea. I think Romero as a player is so Chelsea coded but I still wouldn’t want him to go to Chelsea.“If it was other Premier League side’s out of those two I wouldn’t really care.”And while Summers admitted that Romero does pose world-class attributes at times, she concluded with a message for La Liga’s two interested parties. “I can understand why any club would want him even with the disciplinary record and the headloss,” she said“It can be beaten out of someone in a way and I think playing in a different team with different standards which I do believe are set not only by the manager but also the captain.“They set the standards. He was the one setting the standards. He was also late to training.Roberto De Zerbi is already planning for life after RomeroGetty“Look at the mentality of what has gone on at my football club over the last couple of years compared to other football clubs.“When the standards and the bar is so low, that is felt around everywhere and it’s not a surprise that Spurs were in a relegation battle and finished 17th two seasons in a row.“If Atletico or Barca want a player that is extremely hotheaded, temperamental, unpredictable. Please be my guest.“I’ve never disliked a club captain I don’t think and I’m actually really excited for the new season because I feel it’s a fresh start.”
