[What Lies Beneath]

rhythm is a dancer, and Fati is a chancer not until the very end. Lo Celso could be a make weight but not critical.

I dare anyone to read that and not have the tune in their head

Lovely to see you popping up in a couple of places this morning WLB! Hope it’s busy over at Spurs HQ over the next few days!!

Fati looking like a late Levy special then! Personally I hope Gio performs well this weekend and we keep hold of him.

Sounds like it good news for Barcelona.

Swapping Lo Celso for Fati seems like a downgrade

I would agree with this if Lo Celso had actually been a good player for Spurs since he signed but, barring a couple of good months, he has not.

 

[Tucker]

Huge mistake to be going for someone so injury ridden.

Nothing to do with the IRA

Gangsters, drugs, corruption, murders, executions, AK47s
Boxing syndications.

@bc205 + @HarryTed14
You can rate my post as off topic all day long but as an Irishman who lived in England for 58 years and now back in my homeland I will not let incorrect assumptions about "the IRA" being portrayed on this forum.
There is a Good Friday agreement in place and has been for 25 years. Ignorance is not healthy.
It was chatter about Troy Parrott and therefore valid in that sense.

I really really hope we don’t swap Gio for Fati.

Fati hasn’t looked the same player post injury. Fati in general would be a massive gamble.

I don’t know where we stand with POK but he’s saying Devine going to Port Vale on loan. Apparently should be confirmed soon all going well.

Will delete if not allowed of course

 

[Gpnash84]

I’d be happy with Fati on a low risk loan deal with an option, but not in exchange for Lo Celso who I’m convinced we need this season.

All players are a gamble. Fati looked mustard against us recently. I'm all for this one.

He is a gamble but so are all signings, particularly young players. Is it a bigger risk than relying on Lo Celso who, let's be honest, hasn't looked like he wanted to be here until recently. I think Deki will move more centrally over time and will be the rotation option for Maddison.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Would rather keep Lo Celso as he is perfect as a rotation option with Maddison and perfect for Ange's system. Barcelona need funds from the Fati sale so i'm sure they would rather that than some kind of swap.

 

[felmani26]

Sounds like another underwhelming end to a summer transfer window once again.

 

[Fredo]

Not Lo Celso please! The only midfielder we need gone is PEH.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Agree. He was obviously a huge talent pre injury but big question if he gets back there. If he does then we have a world class player in the future… big IF tho. If we loose Gio tho we would need another creative playmaker and I’m not sure who there is out there at the same level or better this late in the window.

Have you not read or seen his injury record?

These are legitimate concerns and absolutely the reason why Barcelona are touting Fati.
