Doesn't want to be here. Shone in his first game but hasn't imposed himself. I wouldn't even have extended the loan given the current financial situation.
Even just one top midfielder can transform our teamWe need three new midfielders, but I'd be happy with two.
Fair points. I was actually quite excited by the Ceballos loan. He seemed to fit what I thought a replacement of Xhaka needed: a creative 8 with enough defensive tenacity. His weak point seemed to be that he lingered on the ball for too long and wants to do too much. Unfortunately, he hasn't really addressed those weak points and several times this season I've been shocked by his sloppy passing. Did show some improvement before the season was put on hold, though.Yeh I agree that they both shouldn’t be playing for Arsenal next season for their own reasons. Just saying they’re not bad players like some people on AM would have you believe.
Partey is a step or two above these guys though.
Yeah. He was arguably our best player.He was extraordinary in our last game, at West Ham.

But truth be told he's been underwhelming for most of his time here. Injuries haven't helped either
Ceballos thinks he's better than he is. He is slow. He will dive into challenges due to his physical insecurities. He takes too long on the ball, he passes the ball, follows his pass till he closes down the space and then gets it back again to repeat while going sideways. He doesn't break lines. I'm sick of this player.
Yeh I was at the game, he played very well but he wasnt getting enough options to pass to - at least from where I was watching.He was extraordinary in our last game, at West Ham.
I think some of you are being a bit harsh. The guy is still young, he was coming off a period at Madrid where he wasn't playing much and could have been low on confidence, he came into a team that was about to sink under Emery, he had a bad injury...like there are a lot of mitigating factors here. And as people acknowledge, towards the end under Arteta he was playing quite well when he was fit.
I'm not saying he's the answer for us or he's definitely a world class midfielder, I have no idea about that. But he's widely regarded as one of the most talented young midfielders in Europe and some of you are talking about him like he's useless.
Weird I always thought his attitude was quite that of a fighter, he can be such a d#khead most of the time, kicking away the ball, wasting time, flying in to tackles, starting arguments when it benefits the team. Think he got a bit shocked by the liverpool press but so did the rest of the team. Think he might be good enough but we dont really have the cash for might be atm so id agree with you on moving him on unless he shows something in the enxt few weeks.He wasn't playing much for Madrid because he didn't impress in his chances given............. talent is worth a lot less without the mentality to be a fighter and determination to perform every match. Like you said he's a project, and we already have Guendouzi and Torreira as project players. I am not sure we have the room to keep so many inconsistent flawed players in midfield.
I’d keep him and get rid of Guendouzi, Willock or ESR for a decent fee
