I thought people thought that he was going to be playing one of the Ramsey/McGinn roles? We play with 2 or 3 CMs depending on opposition. So Luiz / Kamara / McGinn are the only 3 that are the right blend of skills for those. Dendoncker too but he's a level below them. It's certainly an area we need another signing in. We need players coming off the bench at their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy without a manager who can tie his shoe laces together will be desperate for a win this summer. No interest in giving Spurs money for a player they don't want. They get derisory bids and can sit on them. If they get greedy, I'll be disappointed if we can't find better players elsewhere.

I suppose if that is the plan then it will need a big wedge of money for new players as it is the more 'expensive' positions that we would need to buy for.

It's going to be a big window with lots of names, even coming from credible sources.

I really like Lo Celso as referenced earlier in the thread. However, given the derisory bids that we've received from that cue-ball headed pissweasel in the past, I would start the bidding at 5,000,000 Zimbabwean Dollars, a Northern Rock savings debit card and Lee Hendrie on a 6 month loan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him to be an engine like Ramsey but it’s ages ago I watched him. Here is some interested information on him and how I remember him sort of. Quote Lo Celso is a versatile player with brilliant attacking qualities who can play in any central midfield role and, at Spurs, has also played from the right. He brings an engine to midfield – both with and without the ball. Link Edited May 16, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lerner's Driver Posted May 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2023 On Lo Celso, I haven't watched him, but others who have say he's been signed by Emery twice before, thrived when on loan at Villarreal and was playing superbly for Argentina before the world cup when he got injured causing him to miss the tournament. His 'failure' at Tottingham is not a blot on his copy book because they are a joke club who don't know how to utilise the talent at their disposal. If Emery wants him, that's the end of the debate in my opinion - I suspect he knows exactly what he's capable of and how to use him in this Villa side. If there is a downside, its his injury prone nature - that is a genuine concern. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 He'll be second striker competition, Emery played him as second striker / 10 in majority of his games at Villareal last year in his 4 4 2. He also played some games from RM/LM. So this would clearly be competition for Buendia but a left footed player. He will spend parts of the season injured though as his injury record is poor. If we're shopping in the 10-15m range he's worth it imo given he has a high ceiling. I would expect this would mean we're a bit over stocked. Coutinho/Buendia/Lo Celso = I'd expect a Coutinho loan to be looked for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Totally missed that Emery gave him his first starts at PSG and he became a regular under him in midfield as RM in a midfield 3. When Emery left Lo Celso was loaned to Betis a month later and then signed for Betis the following summer. Emery signed him on Loan at Villareal twice then, 2nd half of last season and this season. So Emery must be 100% certain what he can offer that's for sure. I think at Villa we could manage his game time more as he is a bit fragile. For the right price this makes sense. Spurs did a big loan fee and then signed him so permanently for about £28m over 5.5 year contract. So his book value would be ~£10m so anything bid above that would be booked profit. To me it seems a good deal for up to £15m on 4 year contract 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
