Do not want!! I dont think hes all that tbh!!
I bet you were one of those guys who wanted Arsenal to sign Adama Traore for 60m last summer.You can find a faster more athletic version of Ceballos for the same price.
If we want to improve then we improve on the inconsistent physically lacking players.
I don't know. I saw him against Ajax yesterday and didn't see him do anything of note. Think it was the same last year against Ajax.One of the players most similar to Ceballos stats wise is Boubakary Soumare, who's a much better athlete, could just buy him instead.

Looks decent enough in YouTube videos, but not sure if he's what we need. Sanches played with more intensity for instance (not that I want him necessarily).
Could also be partially due to crap tactics at Lille.
That being said, I definitely don't want Ceballos permanently just because he's a known player. He hasn't shown enough. Get rid at the end of the year and scout a CM that's physicall and technically better.
When he's on form he can make good incisive passes, I just wonder if he's too lacking in physique, I mean he's one of the least athletic players i've ever seen. A midfield's purpose is essentially to get the ball from defence to attack, ideally as quickly as possible, we need a top quality midfielder who can do that either with their dribbling or quick passing. Looking at the game yesterday i'm not sure Ceballos or Xhaka is that player.
He's not bad, but i'm not sure he takes you to the Champions League.
Guendouzi is much worse than Ceballos in terms of athleticism. Ceballos actually isn't that bad athletically.
Hm c'mon he's not good athletically, he has qualities but athleticism isn't one of them, although he does try. One of my favourite sights in football is when Ceballos lets a ball run across his body but then he realises it's run a bit too far so he has to chase after it, Ceballos chasing after a ball looks like a man trying to run through mud on ice skates.
I think he's a perfectly good squad player and I agree he'll be a good midfielder when he's 27, I'm just not sure it's a priority to spend 20-25m on him this summer when we need starting quality in midfield.
