Dani Ceballos: 2019/20 Performances

[LG10]

I must be watching different games. He is oozing quality. Pings 30 yarders as if they are 5 yarders and so composed on the ball.

Pinging 30 yarders is an easy skill, watching xhaka has probably made it look difficult.

 

[albakos]

He was very poor and aside from his match v.Burnley, there's nothing in him that could improve us.
Takes ages to release the ball and then does a nothing sideways pass. Those valuable seconds while he decides to release are easily used by oppo toregroup.

And what the hell was that girlish shot from 6 yards box ?
He was more afraid of being tackled than he wanted to score.

Boring player who offers very little. We have a manager that thinks Özil can't better this. Sorry, but even the worst Özil is more effective than this dude who is clearly just an over hyped CM.

 

[Tourbillion]

Pointless player.

I'm disappointed but to be fair to the guy I think we need to see him under another system to actually judge. No player is able to do as well as they can in our current set up.

Its just a mess right now. The only midfielder excelling is Guendouzi. Torreira, Willock and Ceballos are being used incorrectly and Xhaka shouldnt be playing at all.

Can see why Madrid don't want him

True but he could get a better haircut..

True but he could get a better haircut..

Fabregas 2004 mullet needed.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

This doesn't make for great reading. It also backs up what my eyes have been telling me about him, he turns back unnecessarily too much, hogs onto the ball even with passing options around him, has played too many incisive passes. Not good at all.

Who knows maybe he'll look brilliant under a different manager, in a different system or whatever but at the moment he's not really doing anything that makes me excited about him.

 

[Garrincha]

Lets just hope he doesnt have to play a certain amount of minutes.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Can't believe I gave our transfer window 2 higher rating because of this player just because the specialists on this forum told me he was elite.

Downgrading the window from solid 4/10 to 2/10. What a mess.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I don't think we should go for him, Isco or that style of player. A more commanding presence is needed.

 

[akhil]

Spanish Lallana so far.

30m would be a good price, if that's what could be agreed, and if this rumor is solid. He's settling in and is young enough to be moulded, with plenty of talent and good drive. I do think his RM future looks closed off with Valverde looking good and them likely to go in for Pogba next summer.

[..]
According to El Desmarque, Arsenal offered in the region of £25million in a bid to secure Ceballos on a permanent basis, but Madrid have turned it down.

They claim Madrid have significantly dropped their valuation of the player but are demanding at least £30m for him.
[..]
Earlier this week, Spanish reports claimed that Ceballos has spoken to Madrid president Florentino Perez directly about his wish to join Arsenal permanently.
[..]

There is opportunity to move now I would think as Ceballos must be looking at Zidane's position being solid at Real Madrid for now, despite people predicting otherwise during the summer.

Looking at that graph I'm more concerned about how little Xhaka does of ANYTHING to be fair. He's not much better than David Luiz who's a centre back FFS.

Senseless critic mate. Do you even understand the stat? This is not about backwards and forward passes.
Possession Value or PV measures the probability that a team will score from their possession.

Xhaka's stats are not much different from similar players in the same position from other teams. (which is what you should be looking at)

Ndidi and Fabinho has similar stats to Xhaka.

30m would be an absolute snip. True footballer. We need some more of these in our team.

 

[Trilly]

Find it hard to blame Ceballos for being a young player who likes to get on the ball and dribble a lot, isn't that all of us deep down?

Pep/Klopp/Any decent manager tbh would not tolerate that from him and would have made that very clear. I mean it's not like his dawdling can't be easily rectified. Just another slight on Emery imo.
