Giovani Lo Celso

And the sky thing comes as no surprise whatsoever!

He was the only one who ran the story of Kathryn Blair's #10 suicide attempt back when that happened, while every other political journalist made a voluntary non-disclosure decision, judging it to be not in the public interest. So a real Murdochian roosterroach at work.

I still believe that Betis have tried to milk us for some extra cash and now are slowly leaking bits and pieces to make it look like we are reaching a compromise.

Havn't checked him out until now. Looks like a faster Alli to me. Youtube doesn't really show his defensive game. Looks very good on the ball. And like his drive.

 

[Jordinho]

If we get the player then people won't mind.

If only we'd blown everything we have, he could have been here already.

Mundo deportivo journalist saying its only formalities left, and we get him for 55 Mill pounds.

Transfers are all done in $s

Surely the same applies? Unless all the club funds are held in a currency other than sterling

They’ll hedge them.

Regardless of Lewis, I'd expect any company that has significant dealings in foreign currency to have hedging facilities in place.
And it's not as if sterling tanking hasn't been at the very least a possibility, if not a likelihood, for the past couple of years that it should come as a surprise.

Honestly.... I’ve worked with some very very large global companies and so few hedge it scary

True, but it's Levy, money things is what he does better than most.

The club are well aware of it because the post referendum collapse in the pound pushed up the stadium costs too.

If we do sign him, who would he replace in our current first 11?

Sissoko eventually. He wont be in the team to start without a Poch pre season.

Here is having a good game playing on the right of a midfield 3 in a 433

 

[Kandi1977]

He won't replace anyone. He'll be in the squad, and play whenever Poch decides to, just like any other squad members.

He's versatile too, so his opportunities should be ample. Central mid, behind the striker or out wide. He seems comfortable in any of those positions.

Tottenham signing ‘more and more complicated’ – Spurs need to make a little effort
By Sean Lunt -

2nd August 2019

Giovani Lo Celso to Tottenham has been one of the long-running sagas of this transfer window, and it’s unlikely to die down before next week’s deadline.

Tottenham remain keen on the midfielder and have been negotiating with Real Betis for weeks. However, they are yet to find an agreement with the Spanish club.

And if today’s update from Diario de Sevilla is anything to go by, it seems the two clubs remain as far apart as they’ve ever been.

Diario explain that Betis want to raise more than €100m this summer and Lo Celso is the player who can bring the most in.

The offers they have so far see them fall short of that, though, and that’s why they’re resisting the current offers for players such as Lo Celso.

Tottenham are the main contenders for the Argentine and are the only club to put in an official bid, but are yet to match Betis’ asking price.

Spurs initial bid was €45m fixed with bonuses, which Betis deemed far too low, especially as the newspaper says they want €70m for their man.

Betis are now waiting ‘for a new offensive’ from Tottenham, but Diario says a deal is looking ‘more and more complicated’ at this point.

Despite their need for money Betis are not willing to accept the offer from Tottenham, and until they raise their bid considerably, they face little chance of getting Lo Celso in before the deadline.

There’s disagreement in Seville whether the offer is €45m or €50m, but either seems too low, and a little effort from Spurs would likely see Betis do likewise.

Betis want to use Spurs to fund their 100m chest. Lol!!

Surely they know full well Levy will tell them to fudge off if need be. We signed zero players for two windows ffs. He won't be made a fool of.
