He showed a degree of goal threat in his one year at Betis that he never has before or since for club or country.
16 goals in 45 appearances that season, 25 in 287 in the entire rest of his senior career.

I have always rated Lo Celso, but he's never hit any real run of form with us, with too many injuries and also not suiting Mourinho or Conte's defensive / counter attacking systems. He was a key part of the Argentina team that won the Copa America and only injury stopped him being a world cup winner. I think he is suited to an attacking 4-3-3 so would be interested to see what Ange makes of him. That said, we are very well stocked in CM and by all accounts he wants out. So probably tiem to cash in. If we sold him to Villa for ~£20M they'd be getting a bargain (and we shouldn't we'd be strengthening a rival - Villa under Emery are already a contender for European football every year).
Because he did that one terrible corner in Conte's first league game people like to pretend that's representative of his entire time here...
Ffs conte let are defence get away with mistake after mistake. Royal, dier, lengket gave goals away for fun but never got dropped.
Think it was more to do with where lo celso started his runs .. Conte liked the ball played out and runs to start further up the pitch...
Exactly..'This Again??'
He is not another footballer and your revised cherry picked version of events doesn't cut it.
He's had his time and he seemed to be this repeat offender of rarely seeing game time (due to being out recuperating various injuries) then miraculously going off to play international friendlies. Then straight back on the sick list, only to repeat it when Argentina came calling.
Comes across as a pea heart.
Argentina is about as close to a one man team as it gets, they have some good players in the squad but if Messi doesn’t perform the team looks shit. I don’t really understand your comment about him almost being a World Cup winner, they won it without him, he wasn’t needed. More likely the WC win indicates they likely would have won Copa America without him as well.
yea very good performance.
id probably rather keep him over ndombele, but well see what ndombele is saying when he plays....
From what I've seen of Lo Celso previously....we're not going to get this level of quality from him when the season starts.
That added €15m minimum to what we accept if he goes
He's been playing at this level for Villarreal for two seasons now. I think he just needs a good system to operate in.

No reason to let him go cheap
yep lets keep the players
He's always been a decent player just injury prone and seemingly lacking commitment to Spurs (bit of an Argie theme lately).
But you don't play this often for a world cup winning team if you are pony.
If people are hyped over Ndombele's redemption arc I don't see why it would be different for Gio. In theory we are now adopting a system that suits them much better than the last few.
Still think he will go as I reckon he's rated in Europe. 15m +5m in add ons is about right.

He will never be able to stay fit in a league as physical as ours, he couldn’t even stay fit in Spain last season.
We do not need players who are made of glass, there is no use for such players in the PL.

He will always be made of glass, his injury record was extremely poor last season even in a less physical league.
There’s a career path for him somewhere at the top level but I don’t think it’s in the PL.
One of the major positives from today. That role fits him like a glove. As a squad player to compete with Maddison and Kulusevski we won't find better than GLC for the price.
