    I would personally sign Ceballos on a permanent deal on the strength of his form since the restart of the season.

    He’s arguably the best Midfielder in the country on current form, his displays in the cup semi and final were top draw, the potential everyone talks about was there for all to see.

    Apparently he’s surplus to requirements at Madrid and they want 25mill for him, I’d buy him for that price, I think he’s an important part in the rebuild of this team.

    I'm really nervous that Real might use Ceballos as a bargaining chip to try and get Auba - someone tell me I'm just being paranoid...

    You are being paranoid.

    Auba is off to Inter 😉

    I'm not sure he'll fit in at Colchester though

    Seems like the move for Willian is at the behest of Arteta. I guess he feels like that work ethic and athleticism fits in to what he wants to build. There’s a winning mentality too I suppose.

    Dunno, I know he’s a good player but just find these kind of signings so underwhelming. A Chelsea mate of mine said they’ve signed Ziyech and probably will get Havertz. Levels...and I can’t help but agree.

    If Edu, Raul and Joorabchian want to all line each other’s pockets then at least go and find another Martinelli or some other rough diamond in South America.

    where woudl Willain play though - AFAIK he's a left-sided attacking midfielder so is it to allow Auba to play in the middle or does he go behind the front three?

    and where does it leave people like Saka?

    i used to think Willian was one of the best players in the Pl but that was about 3 years ago, i think he looks a bit sulky now but maybe that's just because he's pissed off at Chelsea

    but ultimately i don't like buying all these rejects from other clubs higher up the table - it makes us look like Neverton...

    I hope the move for Willian falls apart. We can certainly do better, younger and cheaper

    Maybe it means that Arteta's going to move Auba back to CF and have Willain fight for one of the wide forward positions. I can see the logic in that because he's still a good player and he'd give competition to Saka and Pepe. It might bring out the best in Pepe if his position is under threat.

    Also he'd be a free transfer so it would let to focus the best part of our budget on our midfield and defense. I can get behind that.

    Of course, we're probably selling Auba and getting Willian as a direct replacement.
