Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[gerishep]

It’s rhetoric in the Spanish papers. Betis are making themselves seem dominant. Whether we get this deal done or not they need to sell. If it is not to us expect him to leave for significantly less to someone like Atheltico

Just like Aston Villa needed to sell. If it hasn't already this will go tits up.

getting close to file this under the Moutinho, Damiao folder

We're going to be linked to him for 5 years from this point and the same joke rolled out for the next 5 years, fuck, i'm depressed.

Me: Any news on Lo Celso is it done?

Reply: Mate by the time you've received this text it will probably have changed about 3 times.

This is probably why we have so many conflicting reports in all the media, all of their "breaking" info is wrong and redundant by the time they even have a chance to publish it! (but they'll publish it anyway for those sweet views and clicks)

 

[Hoopspur]

It’s starting to get annoying how people are unable to tell the difference between a report which shares new info and a report which is clearly quoting another media outlet. It leads to the same report being posted in here multiple times but people are being given the impression that new media outlets are reporting something.

Maybe some have a little too much time on their hands and the others like me only skim read?

looks like 1 nad could be on the line here

In hindsight it would have been better with no nads on the line.

 

[Scott Spur]

To be fair, Betis have become less financially desperate as the window has gone on as they’ve sold a couple.

Now they can seemingly demand more for GLC knowing they are now in a position to tell Levy to do one.

Went from a buyers market to a sellers one quite quickly it seems.

Perhaps Levy has overplayed his hand. Should have got this one done early, especially now we're thin on the ground in forward areas for opening game.

If GLC really is basically the only player Poch will accept, then we should do what it takes to get it done.

I think it's very harsh to criticise on the basis of 20:20 hindsight.

In reality, if GLC is the only player Poch wants, then we still have it in our power to get it over the line before Thursday.

Maybe, I dare say Levy tried to lowball Betis but this sounds like it’s more complicated than that now.

Played at his own game by the looks of it.

 

[cookiemonster]

If we let this one pass us by, and all the other midfielders we've been linked with, and then we sell Eriksen after the deadline, that would be an absolute disaster.

It's not beyond the little hobbit to do just that

 

[spursfan77]

Sounds like this will go to the wire then.

And to be perfectly honest,as much as we all love Poch, if GLC is the ONLY player he wants then Poch is asking for trouble and hasn't really got anyone else to blame but himself if he honestly cannot come up with at least one other suitable alternative. Boiling it down, the bloke is a midfielder, roughly how many of them are there in world football ? Surely there is at least one other comparable to GLC !

Aston Villa did have to sell, one way or another they had to sell, it turns out they sold the club instead.

 

[Fredo]

So far Betis has been owning Levy at his own game, you got to applaud it really.

 

[luptic]

How the hell did they sign Pau Lopez on a free last season and then sell him for €21.5m the following season?

This would be particularly irksome, largely because our club would get stick (even from our own fans) despite simply not letting Betis take the piss because "all English clubs are minted".
