Cristian Ceballos

[boo]

Born on the 3rd of December, 1992 in Barcelona, Spain.

Height: 182cm

Weight: 77kg

Transfer Fee:- free transfer

Contract:- He signed a three-year contract on the 11th of July, 2011,
after he impressed the coaching staff during a trial at the lodge...


The boy captained Barca's Under-17's and here we have a proper player,
potentially one of the greats if he develops as people think he might.

He went to Chelsea for two weeks and trained for three days with the first
team before a Champions League game such was the impression he made,
but for some strange reason no one seemed to make a decision about him.

Now, Tottenham has a player who will be first team within a year.


The 2012 winter transfer window saw his status at the club change, from
having a reserves contract to a first team contract making him selectable.

This guy will be good, I like his name, I can imagine him being pacey, great on the ball and skip past players and smash a goal, top right vs Arsenal on the 93rd minute for us to win 26-0 - Legend.

Technically he's one of it not our best youth player....Still settling in I'd imagine but very excited that we signed him

[Superyids]

why didnt he play against liverpool in the Nextgen game last week? if hes that good and hes this "spanish messi" i've heard about- why isnt he playing for our youth team????

He was an unused sub and the formation we played (433) doesnt really suit his style of play. He plays as an attacking midfielder

He's played in a handful of nextgen/spurs XI games

[Superyids]

fairplay but surely if hes that AMAZING we wouldnt leave him out. i mean lets be honest we would never play a formation that would leave out bale would we??

or maybe ceballos is just not that good??

Yeah, because if you ever want to make it for us, you must be miles ahead of everyone else and incredibly good, so good that you change the formation and make the team play around you. He's 18. If you're expecting him to be Leo Messi you'll be severely disappointed.

But give him a chance FFS.

[spursman18]

He's young, and still developing but he has shown glimpses of why he was at Barcelona for so many years.

His absence from the starting line up against Liverpool might have been a tactical choice because of what Liverpool had going forward.

[weirddave]

Tipped as a Lionel Messi waiting to happen I think...

[CmonyouSpurs]

Ceballos can be a great player, but if he was the next Messi or the Spanish Messi, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that Barca would have let him go so easily.

[BlueCrew LA]

The way I see it is that we had two options play Pritchard (been with us for years and is quality) or play Ceballos (who's good but hasn't been at the club long and not completely settled). There's an argument because Pritchard has been at the club for a long time he deserved selection in one of the biggest youth games we've had for awhile. Obviously he proved it wasn't a bad selection and probably the right thing to do on a few levels.

i'm only going on hype ive read. according to a report he "more than held his own" whilst training with the chelsea first team and was meant to be some kind of 'superstar'. ofcourse it could all be bullsh*t but i was just assuming from what ive read he must be quality- certainly enough to walk into our U-19 team.

i repeat i'm only going on what i read.

here is some inside information aboot him, from an interview that spursman18 shared a while back,

Q: Who would you say is the best player you have played with at Spurs?

A: I have got to say Cristian Ceballos, from Barcelona, they call him Messi, he is unbelievable. He bosses the games when he plays, he can play anywhere up top, whether it’s right, left, just behind the striker, anywhere. He is just 19 and I can see him playing in the first team soon, when he is eligible in January, I think then he could be a great player. It’s hard when you have van der Vaart in his position but he will get his chance, like all of us. But he is class.

[Superyids]

well that is a pretty glowing assessment- which again begs the question why didnt he play? just out of interest how many games has he played this season- i'm assume its the U-19/reserve team that he has played for thus far.

has anyone got a video links/youtube vids of him -from his time at Spurs that is. the only real vid i get of him is that one of him an ronaldinho when he was 14.

[SweSpurs]

Either a new Bentley, or Bale.. We will see
