Lo Celso Wants Out

one of the biggest criticisms i have of Poch is his reluctance to integrate new players into the team. no wonder Levy didn't bother giving him any money.. he never plays the players he buys

Obviously, would love for him to excel! But, will he take Dele's, Son's or Lucas' place? Probably not.

Good to have as backup for the front 3, but if the loan deal was cut short, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.

I can't say I've seen that much of him, and he does feature on websites as an attacking mid, but I'm under the impression that the first times I saw him play for PSG he was being deployed more as a central midfielder -maybe it was due to injuries or something- and he did catch my eye, not just for being good on the ball but also because of his work rate.

If that isn't just my memory playing tricks on me, then GLC could be a more versatile player that Jose could use more centrally depending on formations and what he sees in training.

Ndombele played straight away.

So we can buy in jan for €32m or for €40m in the summer ( obligation if we get CL or option if not ).

Do we bite the bullet in January or will we wait and see in the summer if José wants him or not?

I read that we have to buy him if we finish in either CL or EL, is that true?

No only CL.

“ The purchase option [for Lo Celso] can be exercised in the January market and they would have to pay 32 million,” José Miguel López Catalán was quoted as saying by ABC Sevilla.

“In June it is mandatory, if they get into the Champions League, and if not they will have an option. They will have to make the decision on whether to buy him or not.”

Son and Toby did also but I think most teams take it slowly with signings unless absolutely desperate.

Mourinho hardly played them so far also

Maybe because he buys cheaper versions of what Poch asked for?

Cheap bloody skate!
