Only briefly. He never plays anywhere other with Spain 21s tho.

I've no idea if he'd be any good but I'd rather see him have a go and find out. Can't be any easier for defences than Ross is in his current form.

There is this of course.

I'd try it just so we all know if he can or not. But then you'd have to think there's a reason it's not been tried before.

Agree but at the minute mate we are desperate for so someone to link up with lukaku,and as you say give chance.

has a great eye for a pass, would love to see him, yala and mirallas behind rom

He definitely has the passes in his locker. And I reckon Winston Reid Ogbonna or whoever will be at the back for the Hammers would rather have Ross ambling towards them in a lacklustre manner than the direct running of Deleuofeu. Look i could well be utterly wrong on this but I want to see us get Lukaku into the game. Ross needs taken out for a bit. His head is not right.

Fine line football. Really think if Deulofeu had scored that chance against Spurs we would have seen a different Deulofeu so far and one that would have made Barkley push himself harder.

Second half v Sunderland he was quite central. Just think what might have been if he'd slotted against Spurs on the opening day.

Barkley Del and Rom running full pelt against a retreating back 4 is still one of the best sights in football. Cannot understand why we fail to get the best out of them.

We'd have somehow lost 3-2.

I'm going to assume he's as good as done at Everton. Last choice winger.

Depressing given how awesome he was last season prior to being randomly dropped.

Doesn't fit into Koemans long ball style and never will. Grim

Yep.

He doesn't want small lightweight wingers, he wants tall quick powerful ones.

He's crap. Odd flash of him being arsed. Off to Osasuna or Elche for Gerry.

He has all the talent in the world but lets face it, he is an absolute fanny.

Can only play full pelt for about 20 minutes, if his first bit of skill doesnt come off he disappears for the rest of the game.

I badly want him to make it as I am sure we all do, but unless he gets sent off to some Siberian Gulag to toughen up whilst Erwin makes him punch a frozen yaks carcass or something then he aint gonna make it here.
