It was rumoured that Emery was interested in him. Secondly Lo Celso is only playing in the first team due to Spurs spat of injuries. 
Lastly, due to previous history there’s very little to suggest that one rival won’t sell to another if the money is right, especially a squad player!
 

Therefore, I don’t feel it unreasonable at all to suggest Spurs selling Lo Celso to Villa!

No thank you and as you say

So why the hell would we want him when he doesn’t even get any kind of look in when Spurs have a fully fit squad.  

Just not impressed with him and seems to be better suited in other European leagues than ours.

He wouldn’t get any game time with us with Luiz, Kamara, McGinn, Ramsey and Buendia well ahead of him and he isn’t good enough to replace any of them.  

We want players that would compete with first teamers at least and he isn’t that.

I’d be all for Sancho on the figures being talked about, it’s a no brainer.

IF

The checks the clubs do in the background showed why he has had the issues he has had and that they are now solved.

i highly doubt they have been solved from what I have read

He would get plenty of game time. You can’t play the same midfield in every game especially when in Europe. 
 

He doesn’t play in the same position as Ramsey or Buendia but he could give the others a rest.

If you don’t think he’s good enough that’s fair enough but he looked plenty good enough against the current 4th team in the Premiership and European Champions scoring in both games!

No one has mentioned it yet, but the new tv deal being announced ups our revenue to raise the allowances for spending within the rules.

After next season though so still have to play to existing deal.

Eh. It impacts everyone. It's like you get a few extra nuclear missiles and Russia gets a few extra nuclear missiles and it cancels out.

All that happens in the end is price inflation - players cost more for everyone.

You don't get the point at all.

Football fans talking about FFP, amortization, balance sheets, players wages, this and that value on the books, and accounts in general, reminds me of the sad spectacle of the lyrebird mimicking the sound of the chainsaws that have come to help destroy it's habitat. Some football forums even have special threads to talk about other club's finances, and they're in there wishing peril on their rivals whilst studying their accounts, it's no longer enough just to hope that they lose on the football pitch. You wouldn't have to go too far back in time when the idea of all this obbsession with accounts would have seemed most alien and strange and not befitting of the spirit of football.

We talk about FFP because it matters, if it didnt exist we wouldn't talk about it

Most people talking about FFP and matters relating to accounts haven't got a clue what they're talking about, like the lyrebird of the rainforests of south eastern Australia who doesn't understand the sounds it mimics but only repeats them. And that's not a diss, most of the information is impossible to know, people on football forums in general for example don't know such and such player's true wages, or what their release clause is, or the true nature of any given transfer and how it will be paid, most talk surrounding these issues is just guess work, or based on paper talk.

I don't get it either relative to first reply points made

It impacts everyone in so much that they also get extra revenue, so what? I don’t care what other clubs get to add an extra 15m to their revenue or whatever it is

i care that it can buy us an extra player or two on top of our current budge, whatever that is set at.

as for fee’s going up, probably for pl to pl transfers but we don’t really do that anyway.

BBC reported it’s a 4% annual increase, so not really a material difference. If anything it’s actually down significantly on inflation adjusted terms from the last deal.  The reason the headline figure is so big is because it’s spread over an extra season.

The idea from us who do understand them is to help explain how it works to others who are interested. If more fans know enough about this key rule they can better understand a clubs transfer policy and all fans are fixated by transfers. 

For example, If everyone could see a players annual squad cost people can judge if we are getting value for money on a players performances relative to their cost.
