Do i want to? No. is it a plausible solution? Probably. We now have 1 bona fide CB (Romero) and a probable bona fide CB (VDV) for Angebola. (sounds like a disease or a country) Therefore, the single most important position to pick up is CB as we are an injury or Red card away from a major drop down in quality in the starting line up. CF is the second priority. Also, Romero didn't have a Serie A defender of the year performance last season so he needs to be kept on his toes too.
Porro had a phenomenal game but I'm not banking on that being a consistent take because Garnacho attacked him strength to strength. Porro killled him in that duel but a clever attacker might get a different result. Maybe he's improving rapidly but we've all seen with our own eyes how poor his performances have been historically. With Emerson struggling at time, we need consistent quality performance as it is our weakest link. Both might come good. Both might come great. To be fair, Porro is new to the position and gave a glimmer of hope and perhaps he and Royal will be sufficient.
With regards to Romero, he obviously relishes going forward and his smart so i don't think he would struggle to adapt to that position. Is it ideal? No. but if Spurs got off their ass and picked up an imperious, world class center back who could actually lead, then our fortunes would take a massive tick upwards and we'd have depth in coverage. The Romero strategy is a direct reflection of how important i think picking up a world class CB is. Not a second tier player. a top tier player. Now the answer may be to move shift VDV wide or Udogie wide right but i don'tknow about their capability on the right. Cheers. in and of itself, it isn't a good idea but there is method behind the madness.
