Player Watch Player Watch: Rodrigo Bentancur

[makeveli]

Top top player would improve the midfield straight away

I'm bummed because near the beginning of January I was looking for realistic options for CMs to come to Spurs this window: I chose Bentancur, Florian Neuhaus, and Bruno Guimaraes

Bentancur produces above average assist, passing, and defending numbers, thought he'd be a good fit in a Conte system. Wonder if we'll return to this one at all before DD

What are the thoughts on the quality of this guy?

Seeing as it is hijacking season, I don’t know why we don’t use the money from the Diaz offer to move for Guimaraes? Lyon allegedly hold interest in Lo Celso, it would be a tidy move.

 

[Pochemon94]

For 20 mil I think it's hard to find better.. He's def not a finished product but could do a lot lot worse

Because Newcastle are quadrupling his salary... £200kpw

If we sign him he's bang average...
If someone else signs him he's a worldie...
?

Of all the players we are being linked to this one makes the most sense IMO. We need players in his position and he's a good one.

 

[luRRka]

Di marzio story is the same as Romano. We asked for a loan. They said no

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Hmm, wonder if Villa's interest means that there's legs in the Douglas Luiz to Arsenal rumours after all. Weird one... ?

 

[Pochemon94]

I don't mind chucking a 20 mil out there and match villa. He would be worth the 20 especially when amrabat was supposedly 15 after the loan...

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Can we just buy Juve?! Must be some property development potential in the area for dear Daniel. ?

Quality player .....

• dynamic, hard-working, skillful, elegant, versatile midfielder, who is comfortable using either foot.
• tall and "physically strong" player strong, tough tackling , good engine on him, presses hard, did i mention strong man
• Predominantly a deepy lying midfielder keeps the team ticking, excellent passing range / good decision making more of a CM befitting a box to box player too, imagine a more creative PEH , more comfortable to support the attack. Although with his passing range he could be in winks position (those pierce through balls , switching play , balls over the top to kane for example)
• Technically he could play as a box to box player, DM, Deep lying CM or CM.

 

[GetKaned]

It's bizarre we aren't - honestly, if he turns out to be any good, FP's head should be on the block

And Lyon wants Lo Celso to replace Guimaraes..........

 

[Russ1201]

Is he good?

Better than winks i take him?

 

[Pekoni]

Surely more realistic option is to hijack the Guimaraes deal, although we have no idea if Conte rates him or if it's signed and done already and we just fucked up.

 

[wrd]

At a certain point with all these links you wonder if Paratici and Conte just wanna go back to Juve

Especially if they are interested in Lo Celso as reported

No kidding. How about finding some players you haven't had/signed already.
