Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[THFC_SWE]

The commentary kept pronouncing it Lo Chelso is that right I thought it was Lo Selso?

Maybe it was Sean Connery commentating?

"Lo Shelsho hash the ball and makesh a pash"

Not going to judge anything off a game against Nicaragua. They looked terrible.

Definitely ‘Ch’ if Italian as it’s an ‘E’ following a ‘C’. If Spanish it would just be a ‘K’ sound, though sometimes a ‘C’ can make a ‘th’ sound of more central in a word (e.g. Murcia, Albacete).

In Spanish it would be an S, so Lo Selso. It's my native language. But it's an Italian surname, therefore the correct pronunciation is Lo Chelso.

Here's a video of his debut at Rosario where the Argentinian commentators clearly say it as Lo Chelso at 0:14. Hopefully that settles it.

But so is Pochettino an Italian surname, but in Italian it would be pronounced Pokettino. The Argies bastardise the pronunciation.

Walks in, suddenly overcome by a weird sense of déjà vu.

 

[Johno1470]

How about we just wait til he signs and he can clarify how it’s pronounced in his welcome video?

I'm looking forward to various ways people mispell his name in the match threads

Let’s sign the fucker first before we move onto that level of angst

 

[ostrov]

Saw the first half hilights and it appear lo Celso was involved in nearly every decent opportunity. Yes please.

To me, he was the best player on the pitch.

He has Italian heritage (like Poch) and apparently pronounced it Chelso

Whoever spammed that post the post I quoted a cock - no need

Better than their number 10?

@Spurrific you are going to look such a fool when you pronounce the name of our new player incorrectly, everybody will take the piss out of you and you are going to think to yourself I should have taken notice of old worcester's post instead of spamming it.
No need to remove your spam rating however incorrect it is and feel free to spam this one, I really won't lose any sleep over it because life's too short however I think you were a bit nasty to spam other posters for responding to my post so I'd ask that you remove them as they just make you look spiteful.

Spam is a silly rating and often used erroneously.

I can only guess that Spurrific has genuinely got a bit mixed up and thought he was in the ITK Discussion thread, thus trying to keep it to ITK chat

Possibly

Some spam is used on purpose but some of it is where it is positioned, the amount of times I scroll on my phone and accidentally press spam and then have to delete it and it’s easy to do and not know you’ve done it

True but clearly not what happened in this case.

In a sense of creating opportunities for others yes. And played 90 min, Messi only 45. Lo Celso was at the heart of every meaningful build up.

Sounds too good for us!
