Funny is my game. I don’t care where he fits in. Quality players will always fit in. Also he gives the option of changing it up a bit. For example you could play son and solanke up top with eze behind. Son and Kane played well together in a two.

Well you should care because it's money we're spending on a player who we don't need and money that could be used for another player we will need and also quality players don't always fit in, there's numerous examples of clubs buying good players and trying to squeeze them into positions and not succeeding.

And as for this Son/Solanke partnership with Eze in behind, we don't play that way...🤦‍♀️

I wonder if we'll keep Devine now, considering he does not need to be registered for Europe and can play as an 8, where Skipp was playing.

If we sign another CM, keeping Devine would be putting the players development on the back burner because he still needs minutes.

The question in the future then becomes where do we fit the likes of Devine and Donley in it our CM is complete and stacked with players Ange likes but that’s football and these kids need to prove they are better.

I'm not sure if he counts, as he's 20.

I could be wrong here, but don't they have to be 21 for the CT to kick in properly?

Devine will be on UEFA List B for this season and 2025/26 if he's not loaned out but what list he's on doesn't make any difference to the squad if they think he can be used. It's just a case of whether they think he'll get enough game time to be worth keeping around rather than sending out.

I said it’s an option if we want to change it. I know we don’t play that way ffs. Anyways didn’t Ange go to 3 at the back in some games last season.

No credible links (sure, none to Odobert either but he's a 19 year old Championship player, not a starting Prem Brazil International)

Wolves don't want rid, he doesn't want to leave and would likely cost 60m+and I don't see us spending that much on him.

We wouldn't even go to 40m+ on Gallagher and his club quite literally wanted rid of him.

We would be best off just reigniting our interest in Ederson from Atalanta

It’s not KWP mate.

Maaaaybe it’s Edwards for Solomon but we don’t need him and people who watch him say he does zero work out of possession. That’s an instant kill for Ange.

I’d guess we just name 23 in Europe

I think that's exactly what we'll do, with our talented younger players getting plenty of playing time.

TBH, I actually think that we'll make a better fist of the Europa League with them, than we would with the senior players, if preseason is anything to go by.

He's not going to change it though, you know this lol

So you want us to spend £70m on a player who you see as an optional choice in a formation we have and never will play, okay then.
 
Lo Celeo to Atalanta sounds doable (Ederson)
Lo Celso to Wolves not so much (Gomes)
Lo Celso to Forest doesn't seem likely (Gibbs-White)
Lo Celso to Celtic isn't happening (O'Riley)

that's if Lo Celso is a paperweight, erm I mean makeweight, makeweight!
