Anyway, what doesn't make sense? we got him on loan because otherwise we would of been short in midfield.
I don't see how that needs explaining? again, I don't see how Real would be excited about what he's done here, pretty average, if anything he's got worse after an initial improvement.
Please explain what Arsenal got out of this deal? We spent two years developing a player (
yes even if he was shit most of the time he still gained experience) who was never ours.
Would it not have been better to develop one of our own players? are we seriously suggesting we couldn't have signed a youngster who would have performed as well and would still have a few years left on his Arsenal contract?
Loaning top quality proven players is one thing, loaning trainees is very different, if you don't see how this needs explaining you simply don't get it. We've wasted millions and two years on nothing, no way was Ceballos was ever winning us anything and so it proved ... same will happen with Odegaard it's just more money wasted.
