Dani Ceballos signs for Arsenal

[onthetwo]

Are you thinking of Bilbao ? Wasn’t aware Betis was basque

youre absolutely right, my mistake. i was thinking that Betis were the other Basque team (other than Bilbao) but its Real Sociedad.

Option 1 : What
Option 2: The absolute
Option 3: Fuck
Option 4: Is going on in here?

Can we just call him dani ffs? Where's @THFCSPURS19 to police this shit???

Just waiting for clarke to come back off loan then it will be jack & dani.

Southern Spain and Latam - 'Se-bal-yos'
Northern Spain/Basque - 'the-bal-yos' (as in lispy tongue action rather than English 'the')

He's from Andalucia in Southern Spain, nowhere near the Basque country. I think your confusing Betis (Seville) with Bilbao, who are in the Basque region.

Having said that, I think his name is pronounced 'the-bay-os'.

I suppose Swindon would actually be strangely exotic for an American so you get a pass.

An American would think that Swindon is a place he gets swindled.

Would he be wrong?

Time to start a Mariano Diaz thread as well?

Poor bale

He definitely isn't.

It's like when I hear an English commentator say SUAR-ITH for Luis Suarez - it might be right (I don't know if it is or isn't) but he sounds like an absolute wankhamper saying it.

The th sound is only applicable in Spain. Which is why I'm constantly bemused when English commentators pronounce Raul Jimeneth when he's Mexican you numpties.

Just go for the S like everyone else does

While Ceballos may only want a loan now, I’m willing to bet on our culture and Real Madrid’s short attention span convincing him to stay if he has a successful year with us. Players love Pochettino, I’ll bet on him winning Ceballos over during the course of the season.

2 Year loan and option to buy would be the winner.

Ceballos before last season told "Marca" he blames Zidane for not playing - when Kroos or Modrić were injured ZZ preferred to change the formation than give him a chance.

In 18/19, he played 40% of minutes for Lopetegui and Solari, but just 18% for Zidane.

Don't know why he only prefers only one year loan, really. Zidane will stay for a couple of years.

The release clause doesn't mean a thing

I'm getting so tired of people seeing a release clause and deciding that's the only value that the player can possibly go for.

I'm sure it has been posted here previously that there is an issue with his agents/management team and that if he's loaned for a year and then his transfer happens, then they aren't involved anymore.

I am a bit concerned on the long term benefit of this, if he just sees us a stepping stone. Would be a good addition, but not at the cost of holding back others, if his heart is never really going to be in it for us.

Surely this suits all parties. Similar deal with James recently I believe.
