Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[THFCSPURS19]

The end of the window wasn’t just around the corner when we signed NDombele. The longer deals take the greater the risk of something going pear shaped. There’s still a reasonable amount of days left but we’ve still got 4 gaping holes in the squad (RB, LB, ACM, match winner).

Would not consider a 'match winner' a 'gaping hole' in the squad.

 

[Yiddo100]

Levy still using the old bakelite phone is he?

Not sure him being anywhere is an excuse.

Well it’s hardly ideal him being in a different time zone

 

[JKendall13]

How are we supposed to announce him when he's still in bloody South America on holiday?

I would if we’ve got any aspirations to push Liverpool and City, and/or any aspirations to win anything.

Hmmm, fair enough.

 

[danny32]

Thought this deal was off as we are going after Dybla and it will only be resurrected if we sell Eriksen.

 

[Little-B]

Isn’t he still on holiday? Maybe this is why nothing has happened this week, start panicking this time next week

 

[Yiddo100]

Exactly, we signed ndombele as soon as he finished holiday

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

Nah, that's just Einstein's definition of insanity.

 

[ralvy]

It will happen just replied to another poster whose reminded us that Poch/Levy and PR guys were all in Asia. So very likely from here that it will speed up now.

All that means is that DL and company are more worried about our Asian sponsors than about signing new players.

There was clearly the suggestion something happened over the weekend (verbally agreed ITK) and we expected him to be heading over for a medical this week after Fekir signed, now either them or Levy have moved the goalposts, hence silly buggers.

I highly doubt Herc would be putting his hands on the line if we are still £20m out on price like they are saying?

He’s still on holiday, you’re just guessing they’re playing silly buggers, iirc Hercules said it was agreed bar the medical, if that’s the case then we’ll be waiting until he finishes his holiday

Haha don’t know what happened with the quotes

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I'm already mentally preparing myself for this deal not ever happening, and so should you guys.

Ahh, it’s so sweet that you care about us so much...

I think the new sponsorship deal is important and it required their presence there. I'm more interested in us filling the gaps in our squad asap. Another poster mentioned he's still on holiday, all reasonable reasons not for this particular deal not to be concluded.

But your concerns are valid.. We all know what happened last year.

 

[nedley]

Do we have any idea when he returns off his holiday?

 

[Univarn]

I believe he is due back at Betis's training ground Monday.

 

[Lighty64]

I think you completely missing the original point of my post Lighty . It's not impatience over signings. It's trying to fathom how posters are sooo excited with our business thus far when only 1 player has been added. As things stand for this season it's one player... I don't get excited by who we might sign or who we interested in.

We all know Los Celso was at Copa America... (BTW using a international tournament as a yardstick Ceballos having been on international duty has signed for the scum.) So I get that he'd have his holiday 1st. Sessegnon is not an immediate impact. I see him as o e for the future.

I don't get excited by what might be.. I want to see the player holding up the shirt.

you also mentioned about signing them early and I'm pointing out why that hasn't happened. even if Levy agreed the price early for Lo Celso he is still officially on holiday. Ceballos finished their final a week earlier and has taken the 3 weeks off

Haha don’t know what happened with the quotes

I'm sure I read Spanish media mention he was expected back in training either today or tomorrow. I don't have Instagram let alone follow him on it so if he's still on holiday then fair enough.

I do think something weird is going on with all the secrecy the last week or so. It's been eerily quiet on the ITK front when it seemed all systems go on Sess and GLC in media and ITK on Monday.

That said I'm still confident we'll have a good window. Landing Ndombele has given me renewed faith.

The wait is definitely frustrating?

Wtf is going on with my quotes?

 

[THFCSPURS19]

We've already got players like Kane and Son (or even Lucas) who have that ability.

I get you. Doesn't change wanting deals done early. There'll always be excuses why they not done earlier.. In this particular instance it's valid and as another poster mentioned he's still on his break, added to the fact the club hierarchy all being away in Asi, were plausible reasons for deals not being announced/Medicals etc.
