Overview
- Romero posted on Instagram shortly after the deadline closed, saying it was "unbelievable but true and disgraceful" that Tottenham had only 11 players available against Manchester City.
- The Argentina defender was substituted at half-time of the 2-2 draw due to illness as Spurs' absences extended into double figures, with reports listing 13 players out.
- Tottenham's January business brought in Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid and teenage left-back Souza from Santos, and they later loaned Hearts forward James Wilson for the under-21s.
- Bids to sign Antoine Semenyo and Andy Robertson were unsuccessful, with Semenyo joining Manchester City and a move for Robertson falling through.
- Spurs have won two of their last 15 Premier League matches and are 14th, and Thomas Frank previously said Romero's earlier social-media criticism was handled internally without a fine.
