Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[marty mcfly]

I love how 99% of the forum were wishing that Tom Cleverley would sign for anyone other than Everton but of most of the lineups i'm seeing lately, Cleverley is in their starting 11.

He's like Osman. We love to pretend to hate him but secretly think he's a decent player.

Plus we know Martinez will play him.

If you had a front 3 of Rom, Ross and rerri..

Thats a forward line of pure quality and the ages 22, 21 and 21.

That is pretty crazy!!

Maybe Martinez is thinking of going 433 with Cleverely, Mcarthy and Besic as the legs of the 3 man midfield?

You know the way Martinez tends to mislead the media regarding transfers?
It wouldn't surprise me after that interview about foreign numbers 10s if he has no intention at all of even playing one!

I would love another top drawer inside forward. Lennon is decent but I think we can do better. We also need another CB and I think that's us done. Roll on the friendlies.

Excitement is back around the club now isn't it? That was sorely lacking last campaign.

He's EXACTLY what we needed. It's the pacey, direct, bossness that he brings and he'll only get better. IMO this will prove to be one of the best bits of business for years.

There's so much mutual love.

The writer of that must be feeling silly lol

Oh he didn't finish there...

"In a way Everton are cheating with 3 loan players because they'll never sign them." Martin Samuel

Given that doofus Martin Samuel was referring to Lukaku, Barry and Deulofeu , that quote really makes him look...a doofus

I looked that article up... He'd be a natural on FIFA16! or FM...

What would Lukaku cost Everton? Let’s say upwards of £25m. Deulofeu is a rising star in the Barcelona academy who has represented Spain at every level from Under 16 through Under 21, and was voted the Golden Player at the UEFA Under 19 European Championship. He wouldn’t come cheap.

Then there is Barry, a squad player at Manchester City and now 33, but even so he might have commanded £6m as a permanent transfer in the summer. Total: somewhere north of £50m, maybe as much as £60m.

Could Everton have afforded that? Absolutely not, even with the sale of Marouane Fellaini. By the time wages are taken into account, it might even have put them in contravention of financial fair play.

£29m for Deulofeu.... lol

That phrase rings a bell.

I wonder if there's anyone over at Barca that's wondering if they made a huge mistake.
