Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[Joey66]

Has he signed yet?

He's on holiday

Rather have him 1-2 years after a £3m fee and lose him to Barca than pay more for him to have no buy-back and lose him anyway to a bigger team. We'll make money whatever happens.

We won't make much money as according to some media sources Barca can buy back him in 2016 for 9 million euros and for 12 mill euros in 2017. So that's just slightly better than a loan deal, but it's better than nothing, I'll acknowledge that.

Yes they might. What I find interesting though is I wonder if Deulofeu will want to go back if that's the case? He has already indicated he doesn't want another loan but a permanent transfer. For all of his good sides, he does come across an arrogant git. I can't see him wanting to just be another Pedro at Barcalona. He clearly feels he can one day be in the bracket of the front 3 they have currently. I think it will take him a number of years to get there (if he ever will).

I think we are underestimating both his arrogance and his love for Barca here. He will feel that if Barca want him, he is good enough to play his way into the first team, and will love the opportunity unfortunately. However, I do not see him being clearly better than Pedro within his first 2/3 years on his contract, I do believe we would be safe.

Still making money on the 6m euros we might get him for.

Don't want him anyway.

Ffs, he's not even signed yet and we're getting stuff like this.

My mate saw him last night in Robin Hood caravan park in Rhyl; he said he's signing and he's bringing Neymar with him.

 

[Brendan Janus]

Neymar, no thanks, we need players who are the finished article !!

Sometimes I wonder if a player has ever secretly come on the forum and read the abuse he's gotten.

Most of them cant use the interweb, Hibbo for instance.
