Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[toffeejack]

Fair enough, but I'd say in the last game alone he overhit so many crosses that they just went out closer to the corner flag than to the goal at all... Just needs to improve on that, that is all. Delivery to the front post is a lot easier cuz he just has to blast it low and hope someone taps it in... Granted rarely anyone does, but I do think he never actually looks up to cross it - the goal against Sland is proof of that - just putting the ball in and hoping...

i still have no idea why we haven't jacked in corners. we don't even commit players to the box for them, so why not take it short and create an opening that way. we create enough from open play, so why try and create something from a style of play none of our players buy into any more.

Delofeu is the potential match winner tomorrow -- if he's allowed to wonder into the middle at times and if he can switch wings. He took a lot of stick v CP. But he only ever received the ball very wide right, and invariably it was being played right into his feet and when he was stationary. It was odd, but typical of RM's strange thinking for that game, that he was not once allowed to switch wings. Let him do what he does best -- run into the middle of the box and dare defenders to tackle him.

Someone mentioned corners earlier in this thread. How about Bony's v Newcastle toady...what a cracking header

HOOOO HOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Me too.

@Mikey_Fitzgerald hates him.

That alone makes me want him to stay.

Then add the fact he's utterly boss, if a little selfish I grant you, but he's ace and won us about 10 points on his own this year.

I'd like us to sign Leigh Griffiths just because it'd annoy @ijjysmith

Barca transfer ban lifted pending appeal

Barca transfer ban lifted pending appeal

Barcelona's transfer ban was a temporary fiction. Money completely governs football and those who have it call the shots : Barcelona have it.

Do you think the "temporary" lifting of the transfer ban will help or hinder our efforts to get Gerry? It might see them stocking up on their squad to prepare for the future or it might see them having a clear out to make way for their primary transfer targets.

Here's the article on Fifa lifting the ban for any interested:

I can see this potentially working out to our benefit if they go on a spending spree to bring in a lot of good players while they still can, making Gerard even more surplus to their short term requirements. If this happens I think it will improve our chances of loaning him in again.

Staying another year (in principle) according to @barcastuff / AS.
