Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[Led's Zeppelin]

Seems to be both.
We have an option no matter what, but if we get CL football the reports seem to be its an obligation

Thanks. That makes sense.

 

[JCRD]

He along with Ndombele will help us beat the press

I cant wait for this damn season to start.

Doubt we will see him for a while though

 

[Gareth88]

If this has been answered just tell me where, what is actually happening with this deal? If plays a blinder all season Betis can just refuse to sell him to us?

 

[bloodzeed]

I believe its up to us they cant back out

this is why the window should shut 2 weeks before the season starts

this is why the window should shut 2 weeks before the season starts

All of European football should have the same window. It should start the day after the CL final (last week of May'ish) and end at midnight on 31st July. Clubs would have 9 weeks to do their business, and then another 2 weeks of pre-season to settle everyone in. Managers should not be able to change clubs mid year either, if sacked they need ot be replaced by a caretaker already with the club.

Spot on

Finally watched a couple of extended YouTube vids of him today, I can totally see why poch wants him. He does a lot of what erikson does but with far greater dynamism and tenacity. Quick feet, quick passing, can go long or short, works hard, loves a tackle and can score a goal.

Along with Ndombele we now have so many options and far greater tactical flexibility. We may have to give both of them some time to adapt, but when they do we will be a scary prospect to play against!

Also, both skipp and winks should be brought up a level by working with players of this quality.

Great window by Levy although a right back would have been great.

Finally, I can now watch some Lo Celso YouTube vids!

I actually watched a few for the first time tonight and I know they always flatter but I watched one against Barca one against Real Madrid and one for PSG against Monaco showing all his touches which gives a more balanced view, I must say I was impressed.

Everybody that was saying it’s pronounced “Lo Chelso” can shut up now, huh?

 

[HW61]

Now that he is in, this thread should be in the hall of fame. Specifically due to the plane tracking yesterday.

Was quality viewing. Those involved need special status and maybe a month in The Priory.

Doubt we will see him for a while though

Could be. With Dele hurt, Son suspended, and TBD where Eriksen’s head is, we may see him sooner than you’d otherwise expect.

Our bench is going to be a bit sparse in attacking options this weekend.

While I never contributed to that debate, it was a reasonable assumption to make given that he has Italian descent and Italians would 100% pronounce it Lo Chelso based on spelling.

I imagine he’ll start with a front 3 of Lamela, Kane and Lucas, with Eriksen and Lo Celso on the bench.

 

[WiganSpur]

I really hope Eriksen stays and his head is right. He would be a different animal with GLC and Ndombele alongside him.

That guy who posted a pic of a plane landing that looked like it was taken by a potato was the stuff of legend

 

[Ledders Army]

I've got a feeling Eriksen might start v Villa.

With Alli injured & Son suspended we may be forced to start him

 

[Tweddled]

My sources are telling me this one is done guys, no need to panic! ??

Somebody should tell him then, I suppose.

Let’s face it, people were only talking about it to be like “ooh, look at me! I know about Italian grammar and naming pronunciations”.
