We're paying Lo Celso too much aren't we?
He's never giving up his Spurs contract because he will not get a better offer.
Levy wants a fee for him and will loan him out to get his wages paid at the last minute if no bids come in.

So if LoCelso is so damn hot, where are the other clubs tripping over themselves to buy him from the free factory?
There is little interest in him, like in the majority of our players. A clear sign of a disastrous scouting and recruitment policy which has filled out squad with bad purchases we can no longer move on.
Barcelona want to buy him, but they're broke. Aston Villa is also interested. Just two champions and a PL club playing European football.
He only has two years left on his contract. If any club comes in and offers him a four year contract on half the money he is earning at Spurs he will be no worse off.
If Barca truly wanted him him they would have done the deal. They have been broke for years but still keep buying players
He will mate.
He can pick up his Spurs wages for the next two years and then any offer he receives in two years time, when he will be a free agent, will be extra.
Are you employed or self employed?
They have no money man. They want to shift Kessie first.
If he plays well on the salary we pay him, why would it matter?
This is a possibility.
But Lo Celso is a coward.
He gives up and stops trying if he gets kicked.
Let's see.
I've seen enough.
Can you remember a specific example from a game when somebody kicked him and he went missing?
Asking because I can't.
Of course but that doesn't mean it's his intention to do so. Every footballer could do that but not many do. If LoCelso cares about his career and his personal life surely he would prefer joining a club where he is wanted, where he wants to play football, in a league he is more suited, and where he and his family are happy. If he is the type to just sit on the last two years of his Spurs contract because he cannot get that salary anywhere else then it confirms without doubt we signed an absolute prick who no fan should want near the team
The club have to decide what to do. Give him a new contract on improved terms, mone money of course, because his current one has two years left or do their best to sell him on now while he has more value than in one years time when his contract will have one year remaining. So what would you do, give him a new contract?
You're entitled to your opinion about the football team as a whole and the coaching staff but to compare 4 years (in your estimation) of famine with 2 'friendly' games of plenty against wet spam and drunken sailors is ludicrous and strengthens the charge for straw clutching.
I also disagree with your analogy of shambles over the last 4 years albeit there have been more troughs than peaks however we finished 4th last year without GLC so lets see how high we finish this season with him.

We finished outside of European competition places completely last season without him.
Like I said, you can't take anything from the last 4 years, it's been an unmitigated mess.
Are you a train driver ? I think you're suffering from tunnel vision, how the feck do you expect anyone to accept your knew version of him when you are incapable or unwilling to acknowledge how shit he's been in the past.
Lest we forget.....in the last 10 years he's been bought and sold 3 times involving Rosario, PSG, Real Betis and Spurs. Every one of the buying clubs sent him out on loan (a total of 4 times) only to sell him on his return. Trouble is despite the plethora of supposed suitors/admirers neither they nor the club he was last loaned to have either bid or taken up the option to buy.
As for where we finished last season that would have been the case with or without him can't say the same about the season before though.
If Ange thinks he can do a job for us I'll be delighted but if you think it is somehow reasonable to delete the last 4 years yet use the last fortnight to suit your agenda then I suggest you go into politics where a week lasts for an eternity.

They aren't doing deals for any players.
Struggling to even keep Dembele..
If the window goes on, they may have to flip someone they don't want to.
Weren’t there quotes yesterday from the Napoli chairman saying that the coach doesn’t want Lo Celso?
Everything is made up

50m is the minimum going rate for any player these days.
Conor Gallagher is 55m apparently...
