"Thomas Frank has refused to criticise Cristian Romero following his social media attack on Tottenham's owners, saying the matter has been dealt with internally. The Tottenham manager made his ambivalence about social media clear something I do know is that we all give it too much attention but stopped short of condemning his captain's behaviour after last weekend's draw with Manchester City, despite it being the second such outburst in as many months."
"Asked if Romero should have found another way to air his displeasure with the club's transfer window business, with the player describing the size of the Spurs squad as disgraceful', Frank said: I have said before that there are a lot of ways of doing things. Cuti has been very important for us this season and in past seasons and we need to be aware of that. But I wouldn't have done it."
"Romero posted on Instagram following the City game, explaining he had played the match despite feeling unwell because there were only 11 players fit to play. The number was actually 13. Great effort from all my teammates yesterday, they were all incredible, he said. I wanted to be available to help them even though I wasn't feeling well, especially as we had only 11 players available unbelievable but true and disgraceful."
