Maybe
You're wrong, no?
This deal feels weird from the start. I think we are talking about a very skilled player who is probably better than everything we have here, but I have concerns over everything except his quality.
1. Xhaka is already our captain and we are bringing in a player who is a far superior player and usually plays the same position.
2. If he plays with Xhaka on the pitch, we will have to play one defense minded player (Torreira) which means tough luck for Özil. The thing is with that, Özil is by far the most paid player in the squad and it makes no sense to have him on the bench.
3. This leads to moving Özil back to the right wing where he failed so many times and we are still on the market to bring in top quality wide forward.
4. If we plan to use Ceballos as a rotation player, what do we say to Willock and Douzi? Are we planing to play him and keep him in form without any assurances we can actually buy him next year at the expense of our highest rated young players? Didn't we do that with Suarez last year?
Very confusing deal if you ask me but it has nothing to do with the player quality. It's the strongest loaned player we've ever had at our club.
