Was gonna say the same. How many players of their's have we even been seriously linked to? Only one I can remember is Isco and even that was just mostly through some of the media.

I can't remember genuinely thinking we might buy any of their players before now with Ceballos.

Morientes? Which probably proves your point.

This is really disappointing. I hope we have other targets lined up.



Arsenal are waiting for Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane to approve a loan deal for midfielder Dani Ceballos, Sky Sports News understands.


Sky Sports News reported that Spurs were in talks with Real over a permanent deal, but the club and player prefer the Gunners' loan proposal, with the deal expected to be completed with Zidane's blessing.


The proposed loan deal suits Arsenal from a financial perspective, allowing them to focus their funds on other targets.




Real Madrid, who initially wanted to sell the player, are now also keen on a temporary deal following the midfielder's impressive displays at the European U21 Championships.



Arsenal director Josh Kroenke says supporters should be excited about potential signings as the club adopts an 'aggressive' strategy in the window


Ceballos himself believes he has a future at the Santiago Bernabeu and Sky Sports News understands he prefers a move to Arsenal, rather than Tottenham, because of the prospect of more first-team chances.

I disagree. I don't want a player who is just going to use us to boost his chances of breaking into the team at Madrid. Let Arsenal be that stepping stone if they're that desperate.

If they get him on a loan with a realistic option to buy then that will be disappointing, but they won't.

We are close to Lo Celso and Eriksen looks as he isn't leaving? We shouldn't loan Ceballos without option to buy in that situation IMO.

Both these deals are very much up in the air, could go either way, we haven't heard anything about these two in a while, i suspect things will remain the way they are unless Eriksen leaves

There seems to be a lot of disappointment in here at the thought of not getting Cellabos.
Is he really that good?
I'm really not that bothered if we get him or not because I'm not convinced he's what we need. I'd much rather keep playing Winks who's a similar player by all accounts, and he's homegrown and English which is something we've always prided ourselves on, having a good core of young English players!
Let's tie up Lo Celso bring in Sessegnon and then maybe try and develop some young players we already have.

But then there's the squad depth conundrum! So maybe we should.....ah I dunno.
This transfer window is confusing the hell outta me!
