Giovani Lo Celso

[Spur of the moment]

Loving that huge static strapline on SSN:

BREAKING NEWS : TOTTENHAM SIGN GIOVANI LO CELSO ON LOAN.

Now I can start breathing normally again.

Wearing the number 18 shirt apparently

Lo Celso....he is a yiddo...

 

[Jordinho]

Lo Celso....he is a yiddo...

That's about as creative as we'll get I guess.

 

[Baleforce]

Loan Celso, we got Gio

 

[Baleforce]

and if he turns out to be crap we can get rid easily

 

[alekaras]

Nah, didn't start typing until it was official.

[Huddy]

Welcome to the best club in the world.

 

[Robbo]

OMG! We did it!

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Great, don’t mind admitting I was getting a bit worried when there was literally no news since the morning.

Welcome.

Welcome.

There never is. Im a little surprised this came through as soon as 20 minutes after the deadline...

so who can explain to me why we loaned him? then without me reading multiple pages to find out.

Cheaper for us, better for Betis.

Reasonably large up-front fee (15m), 40m to make it permanent, contingent on us finishing in a European spot, 5-10m contingent on finishing in the CL spots.

Means that Betis don't have to pay taxes on the transaction all at once, but rather in chunks, reducing overall tax burden. Also means PSG's 10% sell-on percentage will only apply on the amount paid to make it permanent (40m) as opposed to the full amount (65-70m). Basically Betis keeps more of the money.

Instead of Betis paying PSG 20% of 60-70 million they now have to give them a lot less.

 

[P.D.]

Very happy with this especially as it's someone Poch wanted which is important.

So Betis being greedy. They only signed him for 25m a month ago.

Agree with this. And with Lamela, Foyth and Gazza already here he will fit in quicker.

Betis ends up with just about the same in the end I'd guess, it's just cheaper for us and it screws over PSG. Win-win.

Agreed. Was just interested in the nitty gritty of it all. I am not sure its a good idea to tinkle off PSG though. we have had a few players of them in recent years. At least its all confirmed with the buy option. I would never have wanted us to sign Ceballos who went to the scum on a loan only.

We'll see if there's anything to PSG's reported interest in Dybala.
