I was under the impression with option to buy that a fee is pre agreed before the loan so then it would be up to Spurs to match it at any point and if they did then RM would have to accept. Of course it would be up to the player to agree too i'd imagine.

There's also obligation to buy which is basically a permanent deal except with the fresh contract at the end of the loan I presume. I think this only makes sense for players on big contracts though.

The post i was replying too asked what is so bad about a loan deal without an option to buy.

Pretty sure Estadio Deportivo are only semi-reliable but:

Tottenham, the best positioned for Ceballos

Dani Ceballos has become, undoubtedly, one of the names of the summer, for his bright European U-21 and the long list of suitors to take their services, and even more for the requirement of the player to leave on loan.

The Sevilla has been one of the teams involved and utrerano has been left wanting for it was his eternal rival - Monchi has ensured that there has been no interest- and everything points to finish in the Premier League .

In this sense, Deportivo has learned that Tottenham has taken advantage in the race for the Real Madrid midfielder after a month of talks to reach an agreement.

Thus, the negotiations would be very advanced for Ceballos to play for the Spurs. It has also been keenly interested in the Inter Milan player , who is trying to get his services, although today is closer to London . In any case, the future of Ceballos will not be written until the signing.

Don’t think they are reliable

What are peoples thoughts on Mariano Diaz? He's been linked as a part of a potential deal as well. Scored 18 goals for Lyon a year ago then Madrid hardly played him last season.

Real sold him for circa €18m and re-signed him for €25m... he’d be a decent understudy for that sort of money.

Like Ndombele and Lo Celso, this boy is very hard to tackle. If we have several players on the pitch at once who can draw more than one opposition player at a time and take them out of the game, suddenly the forwards have more space and time.

Not enough people, myself included, realize how important it was that Dembele did this.

Breaking the press. Shits a bit on Liverpool’s key tactic

I hope with us signing lo celso and ceballos that it gives dele a real kick up the rear . He would no longer be a certain starter. His form was very average on the whole last season

If we get GLC and Ceballos our football will definitely become more dynamic. The key reasons being that we will have more nimble players able to press better, along with having players difficult to press and able to beat players easily. Transition is everything in modern football.

The creativity we'll lose from Eriksen will be replaced by faster transitions meaning there's less locks to unpick so to speak.

Interesting that we’re going for the Manchester City tricky intelligent style rather than the out and out pace and pressing style of Liverpool, if all this is true.

I'm so fucking happy, our speed in the transition has definitely been what I dislike most about us in recent seasons. We were significantly better at it under Harry.

If we sign Ceballos and Lo Celso I believe we'll be virtually reminiscent of Liverpool, with players in the midfield able to press better as @WiganSpur said, able to track back and get box to box quickly, whilst providing good service to the forward players. I'm fucking excited man

I think it's a balance of the two. For every powerhouse like an Ndombele and Sissoko, there's a Winks and (hopefully) a Lo Celso/Ceballos.

Both Alli and Eriksen with their backs to goal have a habit of slowing play down and laying the ball off because they lack quick feet/agility. Ceballos and Lo Celso both remind me of the two Silva’s and Coutinho... very nimble footed and play on the front foot. I’m not knocking either of Alli or Eriksen’s qualities but last season our midfield was one paced and lacked dynamism.
