Lo Celso. He just needs a little time and a few more games of playing with everyone to get fully settled.

Dani Olmo is a 9 or a 10 (punta or mediapunta as we say here), nothing like Eriksen really. I'd still love to bring him in mind, always thought we should have done so in the summer
Well, the tweet I was replying to made it sound like they want to bring someone else in.
I think one striker in is a given.
IF we would be able to sell Rose/ Wanyama, perhaps someone else could come in, but I don't expect it
It doesn't work that way, he wants to play for RBL specifically. It's not about shoving money into someone's face and deal done. That's the reason why we still have Wanyama and Rose, they like they payout here, so it's hard to push them out.
"There were complications in the paperwork needed to ensure Christian enjoyed a smooth transition to Inter Milan. These things take time. When we finally let him out of his locker at 23:58, it was still a couple of minutes to chase him out of the grounds. Add to that time was spent twisting the wet towel required to flick him with.
Unfortunately that left us with little time for which to buy a replacement striker with the funds Eriksen's departure made available. Please don't ask where that money is this summer. It's complicated."
Are you young or a pre Levyite who has just awoken from 15 years of slumber?
I seen what you done there Italian pizza?
What witchcraft is this?
What the hell... this makes me worry he’s not leaving
I actually think he’s a completely different player. Lo Celso is more a Modric than an Eriksen. I think we need someone who can play a bit further forward and play with Lo Celso.
Obvious players would be Bruno Fernandes, James Rodriguez, Coutinho (Bayern apparently want to send him back) or maybe Grealish. Doubt it’ll be in January though.
Don't want to rush into anything
He is a different player. But you're not going to find a direct replacement for him.
Lo Celso is a much more complete player than Eriksen. He's better defensively, he's a better dribbler and to be honest he's shown he's probably just as good when it comes to creating. Especially if comparing Eriksen over the last 18 months anyway.
Whether he can maintain the consistency and perform against the best clubs like Eriksen did only time will tell.
I'd still take a DM over an AM (or another bloody #8!).....
GLC (Gedson / Winks) / NEW DM (Dier / Skipp) / Ndombele (Gedson / Sissoko)
Lucas (Lamela) / Kane/Dele (??? + Parrot) / Son (Sessongon)
(Yeh, i Know Kane's out but.....)
Well "all the players" certainly wouldn't want their injury records. If they did we'd be playing Barnet this weekend.
