Tent-ative because it's a marquee signing.

Like that first girl you liked at school. All doubtful and nervous and sweaty and shaking like a leaf. Then just as you get close enough you turn back the way you came and not say a word.

That's too "tentative." We'll never sign any players using that approach.

That's like winking at a girl in a dark room, you know what you're doing but noone else does

Provisional, initial contact rather than the ongoing negotiations which were reported by The Athletic, although a situation may be viewed differently by the two parties, of course.

I thought it was when you are at the cinema and gently put your hand on the thigh of your companion who identifies as female.

Always sounds a bit like sergeant Wilson is doing the negotiations. 'Would you mind awfully if we speak with Mr Greaves?'

Like when I go to a record fair and the stallholder doesn't have any prices on anything, and I ask "How much do you want for that Simply Red LP?", and I turn around and walk away without saying anything when he replies "£15"

Sort of, although you'd hope Greaves will be rather better than Simply Red.

If Ashton was negotiating the record would cost you £5 but the vender would end up having to buy you a hot dog with fries, a large coke and a massive candy floss ball on a stick

Tentative as in:
pretending to be interested in Philogene, while watching Greaves out of the corner of your eye. Then maybe doing a Colombo, saying your goodbyes, then pausing in the doorway while clutching your forehead, and muttering "Oh, I nearly forgot. Just one more thing Sir... I don't suppose that Graves? Oh Greaves is it? No! no! no! What was I thinking - sorry for taking up your time Sir".
Though remember that Columbo always gets his man.
