Well we have a player on a longer contract for a startI was so excited for Ndombele, but can't see the huge potential (admittedly on limited viewing) that others are getting excited about in regards Lo Celso and him being a player to take us to the next level. That's not to say that I think he is poor by any stretch!
If he is just being added to the squad then fine, it will improve quality in depth - but if it is Eriksen out and Celso in, i'm not sure that takes us forward.
From someone that has seen full matches etc, what am i missing?
But no, it's not as if losing Eriksen (IF that happens) and gaining GLC improves us. It just doesn't leave us with a massive hole if we go with the assumption for now that CE is definitely leaving.
GLC is also not a direct replacement. He perhaps reminds me more of a Lamella or Ross Barkley mould, in that he is more teneacious and aggressive than Eriksen and looks to tick things over more quickly, rather than look for dreamy passes.
