Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[doctor stefan Freud]

Or we don’t get him, have no second choice in place and end the window with just ndombele coming in.

Laughable four weeks ago, turd grindingly possible with each passing day

I mean it’s never happened before...... ?

Think of the moral outrage

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

Do ALL the other teams have chairman with a certain reputation. He’s bound to have questions asked, defending him is one thing but being blind to the fact that he brings a lot of it into himself is another.

Guarantee if this was a normal poster all the levy lover would be disagreeing and giving spam rating and all sorts ?

Was it though? I’m sure lots thought it possible then. Let’s wait and see what happens next week.

Are you actually capable of posting without making a passive aggressive barb at people with whom you disagree?

It says so much more about you than the posters you are trying to insult.

 

[stonebrow]

That is if you actually believe the “goal posts were moved” as that is the club line to displace blame from Levy on numerous failed transfers.

Furthermore, if you really want to compare to buying a house, all of the other comps in the neighborhood (completed transfers) have set the value of this house at above 700,000. In fact, the hated rival and local businessman just bought a neighboring house with lesser quality for 720,000. This is the one house your wife wants and has asked for so if you don’t complete the sale expect some ramifications in the bedroom. So you better just pay the 700,000 as in the grand scheme you can easily afford the payments and your marriage just might fall apart if you don’t get it.

Exactly...conflicting info of still being way off in agreeing a fee to the goal post being moved! Can’t be both

 

[ilikeost]

We need to post more to get him to sign! 500 pages by the end of the week or we will not get him!

He has a point though!

 

[McArchibald]

I wouldn’t pay £700k for a £600k house.

We're not buying a house. These analogies are pointless.
Players' transfer rights are infinitely more volatile and intangible than that. The only factor determining price-levels is supply VS demand. But the returns are also greater. A successful new recruit can yield greater overall income and increase the value of other players. Houses can't do any of that to other houses...

Which completed transfers have set Lo Celso's valuation at the €75m Betis apparently want?

 

[worcestersauce]

Using your house buying analogy, if your house was on the market for £600k and I offered you £350k + an extra £50k if I manage to bang Cameron Diaz in the attic room would you be inclined to sell it to me?

If I had only bought it in April for £150k and I was looking at a big fat windfall within a few months I may well do yes especially if nobody else was interested.

 

[Nerine]

Gotta say, a valuation at €75m does seem awfully steep.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

He has a point though!

Do you see anybody complaining that the Levy haters aren’t neg telling stoof the way they would me or Lighty for defending him? No, because it’s a ridiculous, pathetic thing to whinge about.

 

[Scott Spur]

Of course a PL club already gets asked for a higher fee than a team from anywhere else, they know we're flush with cash.

But as soon as we start flinging it about and aren't seen to be tough negotiators clubs are going to take the piss more than they already do.

We bid what Betis want and suddenly Fulham aren't budging on their valuation, and it will spiral. How do people not get this?

Mate, there's a difference between 'flinging it around' and actually paying a fair price. Anyone who's observed DL's transfer activity for any length of time knows that he doesn't offer anywhere near what is perceived to be market value and more often than not pisses people off by low balling.

It's not a difficult concept to grasp FFS, try going into Tesco's and offering them £4.50 for a bottle of Verve Clicquot and see how far you get.

None is the right answer.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

It’s bullshit, given he’s had one good season. But we really need a plan B if Betis won’t budge, and we need to be pursuing that fairly soon or the next five year project is already on the back foot

 

[hughy]

We won't, and absolutely shouldn't agree to that. Not only will we have overpaid on Lo Celso (who I'm well aware may turn out to be a £150m player, but we don't know that yet), it automatically gives anyone who we deal with in the future reason to believe we'll buckle to their demands. No transfer will ever be "simple" again.

Levy won't do that.

he was also very strong for PSG when given the chance, and the various sell on fees that PSG and Rosario have drives the price up in order for it to be worth Betis moving him on
