The rumour is that the deal has no option to buy, which rubs me the wrong way. We're essentially assuming Real's responsibilities to develop Ceballos for a year, and we won't be able to enjoy the fruits of our labour in the long term. Oh well, we're a small big club now so I guess that comes with the territory.

Also, there's a huge risk involved in this deal. Premier League clubs have loaned players from Real and Barca over the last few years, and the most prominent players (Deulofeu, Jese, Denis Suarez) haven't been all that successful. If Ceballos doesn't hit the ground running, we're in enormous trouble.

Nevertheless, it's a signing we've needed. One down, three to go.

Can we afford to buy him? I just checked his stats and it is really amazing. He runs forward, he presses, he defends, he can scores, and his passing is superb. He has a very long contract with Real Madrid though. Anyway, it's very nice to have him here.
