Giovani Lo Celso

In my perception, Sanchez strikes me as raw. Foyth, in a strictly footballing-sense, appears to me as over-confident in relation to ability (not potential, mind), or dare I say a bit "dumb". Now, that is not necessarily a disadvantage to a footballer, but it is to a defender. If anything, I see Foyth doing ok further up the pitch, where this particular trait can actually be a plus. If a winger tries something outlandish and pulls it off - instant hero. If a defender tries something similar and fails, well, you've seen for yourselves, on several occations. I have no academic reason to believe so, but I fear that such things are quite imprinted in a player his age, and not something you can easily "untrain" on this level without changing who the player are. My armchair coach badge suggests that we'd be better off making use of his strengths instead. Yet again, no malice intended, but one of the "dumbest" players I've seen - as in often being brilliant when acting instinctively but likewise choosing poorly when given time to think - was Robbie Keane, and he did pretty well for himself. Purely my opinion, of course.

A lot of what you describe and what I’ve seen are essentially decision making issues. These decision making mistakes are pretty common for young defenders, especially at CB as it’s quite a difficult and specialist position that takes years to master.

With game time and experience in confident he’ll start to eliminate these kind of mistakes. And then when you couple that with his obvious footballing ability, I genuinely think we’re on to a winner.
 
I'm curious as to why none of the big 3 Spanish clubs are in for him. Especially considering they'd have seen him first hand at least twice.

So basically more take ons, more goals, less assists?

Passes, Forward Passes, Interceptions at a similar level.

Less passes into the final 3rd (not positioned as deep?), Less xA, Less Progressive Runs

More Xg, Dribbles, Duel Success, Progressive runs

So basically a very different style to Eriksen in that he is more of a runner/dribbler, a more combative player?

From what I’ve seen of his highlights and his stats I’d describe his as less creative but more attacking if that makes sense
 
Don't think this guy will be a Rolls Royce quality player, more Mercedes







Mercedes GLC, see what I did there...

Coat on and heading for the door

Tottenham have ‘already’ agreed terms with player – Clubs have ‘mutual desire to reach agreement’
By Naveen Ullal -

11th July 2019

Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with Giovani Lo Celso in the summer transfer window.

Earlier this month, we carried a report from Estadio Deportivo, who explained there was a meeting between the officials of the two clubs in a well-known restaurant on Calle Betis, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River.

Estadio Deportivo once again relays the same information and claims the Champions League runners-up are the ‘main club’ interested in the 23-year-old, with whom Betis have been in talks with for several weeks for the Argentina international.

However, despite continuous phone calls since said meeting, common ground still hasn’t been found.

The La Liga side had initially slapped a €40m price in May and that has now increased to €70m, which ‘didn’t sit too well’ with Spurs.

Tottenham, on their part, are ‘tightening the thumbscrews’ on the transfer, as it’s claimed the Premier League side have ‘already’ reached agreement for a £150,000-a-week deal with Lo Celso.

The report states ‘despite the current differences, both clubs are obliged to get along, with the mutual desire to reach an agreement.’

Clearly there is a belief that two clubs can reach an agreement as Estadio Deportivo claims Lo Celso is likely to be Real Betis’ club record sale.

Amazing how we are now casually offering £150K/wk to a new signing when only a couple of years ago no one on the team came even close to that number. What I don't understand, however, is why we are offering Lo Celso so much. That's triple what he is rumored to be currently making and shirley £100K/wk would have been just as enticing?

If there's any truth in it at all, it's probably taking into account what he might get if he maxes out on performance targets, bonuses etc.? Otherwise it does seem a hell of a lot, even for this new splash-the-cash Levy incarnation.
