sne Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Rumor is he's already in Spain about to sign for a La Liga side that is not Betis. No idea if correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Same Argentinian journalist who is pushing this said we were signing Acuna last year and that Inter were in for Dibu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 He could be the next coming of Messi but as he'll probably spend most of his time injured it won't matter how good he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 13 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13 The more I think of it, and that we don’t hear anything else, I think it’s a lazy journalist thinking ‘who has played for Emery before and that people have heard of to get clicks’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-avfc Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 12 hours ago, the_eristic said: He's a technically excellent, versatile, tenacious and experienced player liked by the manager but who picks up a hell of a lot of knocks, unfortunately. If we wind up with an empty senior squad space and the deal were cheap, as a rotation option, he'd be a good addition. Would be reluctant were it in place of a player intended to be a guaranteed starter, though. The issue is we've already bought Barkley, Barrenechea, Iling Jr and Philogene this window as midfield or attacking squad depth and have Buendia and Ramsey returning, rotation options are the last thing we need now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo Celso fits the bill and also can play CM which means we can use Tielemans or McGinn in 10 also. It's a squad game and having players who can operate in multiple positions is key.

MrBlack Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just now, nick76 said: Lo Celso doesn’t fit the bill, he’s not the level of player we need. I disagree on that. I think he is the level we need, especially playing under Emery. But he's got Zaniolo levels of fitness issues, so not sure he'll offer that level consistently enough over the season. I'm OK if we sign him, and OK if we don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Lo Celso isn’t the most inspiring signing but I wouldn’t write him off because he didn’t excel at spurs. He’s clearly got something and maybe that could be brought out at Villa. He would add to our strength in depth but I really would prefer a direct replacement for Diaby that can also play as striker. If Lo Celso replaces Diaby then we are weaker in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree we need a replacement number 10 but that should be genuine starting 11 quality not cheap squad players to further pad out an already bloated squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Bit part player for Argentina but would have been in the WC winning squad if fit. Mainly plays CM/LM for them thou. Solid squad option but we've already added Barkley and have McGinn/Ramsey/Rogers. He did well at Betis in a more advanced role next to Canales but that was some time ago. He's not played heavy minutes since he left Betis in 2019. He's a squad option, not someone you lean on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about Spurs, they've wanted to sell him and didn't manage to last summer. Players who are to be moved on not getting lots of minutes is common.
