Just popped in here to set up a few tables and chairs, which I’m moving over from the Ndombele thread.

Everyone else should be arriving soon.

Someone open the crisps.

Wrong venue. The ceballos thread seems to be where it's at.

Does anyone know what channel the Brazil vs Argentina game is on? Or how I can watch? I wanted to watch GLC ?

I still think this happens once Eriksen is sorted, as a replacement. My feeling is Zaniolo, Ceballos are more likely to come in as secondary creators and can't see us dropping GLC money on a second option.

GLC plays CM, DM and AM - he’s an upgrade to the team who definitely starts, and pushes into first or second choice in every pecking order accross midfield. I don’t think he’s reducible to a secondary creator.

Lo Celso on the bench for the semi final game against Brazil. Foyth playing at right back and having his typical game

He's just come on as a substitute with 20-25 minutes left...down one nil versus Brazil (one heck of a game the way).

Hasn’t had much of an impact on the game, 2 or 3 touches at most. Regardless of this game, no way we can justify a higher fee for him than we paid for Ndombele.

Snippet in L'Equipe's writeup of the Ndombele transfer negotiations:

"The hours go by and the discussions are intense. Assisted by the fearsome Rebecca Caplehorn, Director of Football Operations since 2015, Levy is not bending. Camp Ndombele either. The discussions, interspersed with sequences of bluff, stretch in the evening of Monday. And after six hours of sleep, they resume Tuesday morning. The phones heat up: Levy negotiates in parallel to bring Giovani Lo Celso (Betis Seville)."

Do we think that means he’s sending the same offers to both clubs? Or he’s negotiating the same way with both clubs?

Since Hugo is most likely writing this from Ndombele's agent(s) perspective it is most likely either Levy playing games or he knows Levy answered the phone about something else and guessed or overheard it was regarding Lo Celso and relayed that. Probably nothing more about it I imagine.

Didn't even realize he was on that last half hour, zero impact
I said it last week, having seen him play in the Copa, I am underwhelmed. He did nothing where I havent seen Lamela do better. Not fair to judge on this tournament but its what I saw. I hope there is more to come.

I definitely think Ndombele is better and Lo Celso's fee shouldn't be as much. Maybe 10mil less but I don't see Betis agreeing to that.
