Big if but if Ceballos stays and Partey signs I dont see him getting much game time.
Guendouzi, Özil, and Torreira will hopefully be out. There is room for the midfielder if we go back to 3 midfield.

There is room. However will he get much game time? Nobody knows of course and the 3 I mentioned cant play every game but we also have the likes of Nelson, Saka to consider.
Auba is probably the biggest problem we have in the sense that he is taking a position that isnt really his position and means everyone has to be shuffled around.
If Arteta found a way to play him number 9 something like this could maybe work.
Xhaka Partey
Ceballos
Pepe Auba Saka
In this case ESR could fill in for when one of the midfield 3 are injured or suspended. Ceballos can move back and ESR attacking midfield.
All depends on what happens next couple of weeks. That's of course if he is even ready for the PL. The jury's out. Doing it for Huddersfield and doing it for us a million miles apart.
Ok lets sell him then.
I don't know what'll happen but he does need more minutes. A loan would be ideal but if Arteta likes him, he might use him as a secondary creator to whoever we look to bring in and that can come with a lot of assurances. I think ESR would be an excellent option for a 3 aswell, I think his long-term future is definitely as an #8/#10 rather than just one of the two.The way Arteta spoke about him it looks like he wants to work with him as soon as possible, I doubt he'd go on loan again when Arteta knows how much we need creativity.
At least he'd come back fit.Why this clamour to ruin our youngsters at Leeds? Did we learn nothing with Eddie?
At least he'd come back fit.
Eddie's always been sharp but he came back on a different level physically. Quicker and stronger than I remember him being. That's even with the lack of substantial minutes.
I was being a bit facetious tbf . But yeah, I would have preferred more football for Eddie.I think it is more likely he'd come back injured. There is a reason ESR was played so carefully throughout his stay at Town. With his injury problems, he needs to be managed carefully.
As for Eddie, why loan him if you don't play him?
ESR is a totally different player from those two. He won’t be competing for a spot in the team with them.Big if but if Ceballos stays and Partey signs I dont see him getting much game time.
Why this clamour to ruin our youngsters at Leeds? Did we learn nothing with Eddie?
They didn't ruin him but I'd still rather he played a lot more than he did. Would probably have been more beneficial, but he still came back better so I have no real complaints. I think while the style of football is important, it's much more important that he plays regularly - that's the entire reason we're sending him on loan.Leeds didn't ruin Eddie. They played him when they could.
Leeds play good football. The type we're trying to play too. Sending Emile there will improve him if he gets to play
