Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[mawders]

And if Lukaku was half as good as you think he is we would have finished even higher as he isn't exactly Johnny On The Spot.

As other posters' shave commented, much of Gerald's good work came to nowt because of the big lad's poor positional play.

BTW, Lukaku is only 20. Same age as Barkley. Cut him some slack

Why such the divide in opinion? It was a nice move of him to write a letter. He didn't have to do it, it was a classy touch from him

 

[Walken]

LOL at anyone not rating him, idiots in this country wouldnt know a footballer if they did ten keepy ups with one of their grim yard dogs like hibbert and volleyed him right in their grid

Hes an outstanding talent, we were lucky to have him, I wish him nothing but the best of luck in the rest of his career.

Good on Gerryla. Good luck at Barca. Everton were indeed lucky to have had him for a season. Moyes could have never ever even pulled that off, ever. Forever. Whatever.

I agree. Nice move, wish the best for Gerry, and hope we can work out more loans from Barca.

By the way just for the record for those who think i dislike the lad, i don't I want him to go on and make the best of his career.

Just hope he realizes it's a team game not a me game.

Gerald is only 19 so rightbackatcha.

Nice farewell from Del, wish all the best, pity we lost him for two months with that injury.

With.no Lukaku and del it's going to be a nervous start to season

Is it though? Gerry hardly played and Lukaku wasn't blowing socks off.

think what we were like without lukaku in the team though, even when he wasn't on form he made a big difference

My post is very fair mate, i like the kid i really do but people shouldn't re-write history. In football you can't just have the maybe if he did this maybe if he did that point of view we just have to deal with what he DID do. I am not judging him on the level i expected to have, because i had no expectation from the guy i've been fair to him all season but you have to be honest with your judgement on him at the end of the season.

I would suggest you are trying to make excuses for him, which is fair enough it is easy to get put into that mind set of being awed by him, a young spanish prospect from barcelona coming to everton! it all seems great and stuff and it's easy to get carried away by something as cool sounding as that, he came here he did okay at best. He will go on to make a name for him self like said, but his season here wasn't the best.

He did no worse than Cristiano Ronaldo in his first few seasons at Utd

Was Ronaldo really that bad? I don't remember him being as bad a Deu was...while he showed the odd flash here and there, Deu was poor in my eyes...like more than a year or two away poor...one trick pony that hadn't sorted his one trick just yet...Ronaldo was that bad?

I wonder if martinez would have signed him on loan if he knew how he'd perform?

The sort of player that another loan makes the first one worthwhile.
