Business so far (provided we sign Romero, fingers crossed), has been fantastic. Not only love all 3 players, but the deals themselves and how we’re maneuvering and planning for the future is really great to see.

Think we should hold off on the Davison assumptions. We don't have any idea what sort of deal was offered. And for that matter, how keen was the player to join them? Or, are they simply more in need of money right now, due to cash-flow restrictions.

I know treating Big Dav the village footballing idiot is fair game, but in the right league, with the right team, he will thrive. For example, I can see him doing well in the German league. I would include France, but they are in some serious crap right now.

Likewise, he'd do well for the right team in Italy as well, I believe. As much as many of our fans don't rate the guy, i wouldn't go as far as to say he's a useless scrub. Far from it. He just hasn't found a way to be consistent with Spurs. Much I think has to do with not being able to play with a more senior partner, who can guide him through a game. He always did well with Verts, for example. But makes far too many mistakes when next to Toby and Dier.

Get him into the right situation, and he'll do great.

Personally I rather Dier and Toby were sold before him. And actually would give him a chance to partner Romero.

Reading up on Romero and everything I’ve looked at says he’s a Juventus player currently on loan at Atalanta.

So how is he Atalanta’s player to sell?

Because they can and will buy him (they have an option)

adding onto this, they can activate the buy option whenever they want. it's not time-sensitive (like the 25m release clause we had with toby that was only active for two weeks)

They have the option to buy him, so they will and then immediately sell him to us.

Same to how we got Lo Celso, Betis bought him form PSG and then immediately sold him to us for profit.

They have an option to buy for €16m
Then sell to us for a profit
