Ex-Spurs Player Giovani Lo Celso

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He's quality. Needs time to adapt to the club and league. I'm not sure that he'll ever be a nailed-on first 11 for us, but part of becoming a stronger squad is having better bench players, and he certainly strengthens our options.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing Gio in the middle behind Kane. Rotate him with Dele.
That seems to be his prime position I think. But that of course creates the conundrum of him competing with Dele for game time. And right now Dele seems to be Mou's favorite.

Maybe he could play as a deep lying playmaker but that would of course affect Tanguy.

Eriksen fucking off will do Gio a lot of good since any and all game time that he gets would logically go to Gio.
 
You don't know what's been asked of either player, maybe he deserved it, maybe Mourinho has asked players to take more responsibility.

Dele has contributed quite a lot recently and Gio hasn't really FWIW.
When Dele doesn't receive a pass just the way he likes it, he gets on GLC's case. The reason I know this is because I often borrow The Rabbi's binoculars.
 
The best passes are a massive part of quick play and winning games, I've seen him pass behind a few times.

The better the pass Dele gets, the quicker he can do something with the ball, maybe something was on with a better pass from Gio.

No one but the players know, so why try to apportion some sort of blame behind things that happen between passionate players in the heat of a match all the time?

IMO He's not really siezed his chances when given minutes so far, he needs to put in a good show soon.
 
I get hes new, and he hasnt started many. But he needs to do more IMO.

Hes an experienced Argentinian international thats played for PSG and starred in La Liga. I expect and demand more from him. Same with Ndombele.

Both 50m players. The honeymoon is over. Time to deliver.
