When has he EVER had that run of games? Apart from the beginning of last season when he set up more goals than Ozil of course. People's memories are short, the boy has quality, actual quality which we now don't have and Milan now do.
Christ some people are backwards, quite happy with Bolasie but want Deulofeu gone? The mind boggles.
I know it would have been mentioned before in this thread as it is quite a common thought now. Generally when Koeman, Martinez who signed him, Emery multiple european trophy winner, Barcelona all find him to be not good enough for the first team on a consistent basis then that should send a message to us fans that he is not the right player for the club.
To be perfectly honest i enjoyed watching him and I myself thought he was going to be a great player for us. He certainly showed us in patches that he has the talent to be a great player, but too many managers have turned him away, even Martinez himself dropped him for the very average Lennon come the second half of the season last year which is an alarm bell straight away. He just seems to fall under a bracket, like Bojan, like Tello, like Allefay, like Depay, , Like Adu all for example, that they are young players with massive potential but for one reason or another they never make it to the top leagues consistently. He was always worth signing and playing here, it just has not worked out for us the same way it has not worked out elsewhere for him. If he proves himself in Milan then i am very happy for him, he has found his style of the game that suits him best and i look forward to playing against him in the future, hopefully at the champions league.
we need to sign players here that will make the first team no matter the manager, not keep ones in hope when they struggle becasue they could come good for us. Kagawa at dortmund to prove a point looked top class there and yet struggled in this country, if Gerard's best suited style ends up being Italian football then he is in the right place.
