He probably just wants to make sure Mustafi is staying before he commits long term.

getting to roast mustafi in training daily is probably a big perk for any potential attack-minded transfer target we have

I reckon we'll get an announcement tonight. Might even be a double announcement given that Saliba is reportedly in London as we speak too.

Wish Ceballos was permanent. I’d go get the shirt

I'm relatively confident if we have a good season we can sign him permanently. Or at least this will help to build another good relationship with Madrid they might even do us a favour to sell us another player next season if Ceballos doesn't want to be here permanently. According to Romano Perez says he will review the situation next season to see if a permanent deal can be done. Madrid don't give young players chances so if he's smart he will know.

Lo Celso to Spurs is a real sickener though. Guy was one of the most impressive midfielder statistically that passes forward last year alongside Ndombele and they get both ffs

I'm pretty sure I remember that graph you're talking about and gave some information that showed how flawed that approach was. Not saying Lo Celso isnt talented he most certainly is but he's a much bigger risk in CM than Ceballos

Ceballos looks a proper talent. Will do a lot for our attacking game. One thing I'd worry about is his tendency to dribble close to the box in some very, I mean very, dangerous situations. In the video before there were a number of times he was jacked close to the box but luckily won a free kick.

With Dan The Man coming in we can field Wenger’s wet dream 4-1-4-1

————Leno
Bellerin—Musti—Kos—Nacho
—————Xhaka
Mkhi—Ozil——Cabellos-Iwobi
————Lacazette

i think we'd concede 60-70 goals this season if we used that team

lorddulaarsenal

Yes but a little bit creativity

Look, you know, I must say, footballistically it's top, top quality.

Really?

Personally, while I’m excited (or desperate) to see new players turn out for us, I don’t know if it’s realistic to expect that a 21 year old, with basically no experience of English football, and who apparently isn’t in the immediate plans of Real Madrid, comes in and impacts our game significantly. Don’t know if y’all have forgotten but the premier league is no joke. Even seasoned players find it hard to adapt most of the time. Hopefully Emery has a clear plan for him, but I thought we had a clear plan and purpose for D Suarez also and boy was I disappointed. Once bitten...

Claudius

Omigod, that’s troubling.
If you want Ozil and Ceballos together, maybe try a 442 diamond with Xhaka base and Torreira and Ceballos on the sides. The fullbacks would have to earn their pay.

As good as Ceballos looks, and thanks for posting that video Jones, I can't help thinking we've been a little done by Spurs this summer. They get Lo Celso and Ndombele, whilst we end up with Ceballos on a season long loan. I've said elsewhere they are the bigger draw right now, but it still irks me a little. Especially Ndombele. That one sickens me.

I've seen a lot of Arsenal fans crowing over us getting Saliba and Ceballos over them, but I can't shake the feeling that it's because they wanted the former this season and not next and the latter permanently and not on loan. It needs must for us right now, but I'm really not liking this new development of them being on at least the same footing as us.

It's encouraging that they clearly wanted Ceballos over Lo Celso in a big way though.

Thing is apart from Spurs not a single other club was in for Ndombele, not saying that to put the player down but makes it easier to pull a signing off. Same goes for Lo Celso, I saw a Bayern link a few days ago but apart from that nobody in for him. Don't get me wrong both good players but you can't control what other clubs do. They're a well run club with a good coach and squad but despite their jammy CL run they only finished 1 point ahead of us. They are better but I don't believe the gap is as much as people make out. Also as you mention their number one choice was Ceballos, they'll brush it off though and argue they didn't take him because of no option to buy. But a loan deal with an option to buy is no guarantee you'll get the player, it would depend on convincing the player to stay. Also if they're paying £50m for Lo Celso why not offer R.Madrid similar for Ceballos, the truth will come out sooner or later. Don't really give a shit though, I'm more worried about the state of our club then worry about having the piss taken out of us for taking players on loan!

We shouldn't focus on Spurs, we need to focus on improving ourselves. Getting back into Top 4 is absolutely everything this season, it has absolutely crippled the club being out of the CL 3 years in a row.

Hope the Asensio injury doesnt effect this

Claudius

Was thinking same. Fingers crossed

Gazza M

emery hinted he wasn't sure if the asensio injury changes anything

on the Dani Ceballos deal and if Asensio's injury affects it...
I don’t know. Our target also was not to take injuries in that match, and they maybe have with Asensio. It [could be] bad news, for them and also for us. I don’t know if it can change something.

Sounds like Zidane's interview indicated that it could change the Bale situation but not the Ceballos one.

QuincyAbeyie

Charles Watts also reckons that the Ceballos situation hasn't changed.

interesting. zidane hates bale's guts, cant imagine he wants to keep him in any scenario

flobaba

It’s a rutpured ACL for Asensio. Shame.

The fact that an injury this severe doesn’t seem to change Madrid’s plans for Ceballos doesn’t give anyone else cause to pause?

jones

Why would it? Completely different players and positions
