Gerard Deulofeu

[Joey66]

Just keeping it real. Brah.

Look if we are going to offload player imo Del would not be one of them - I could name 8-9 others older plodders though who should be sold!

 

[Eggs]

Agree, if we could merge the 2 it would be fantastic, but while we are struggling, we need players who will fight and give 100%. You would never want Geri if you were involved in a scrap.

...don't forget that under Martinez both Deulofeu and Coleman bombed forward. It left our two CBs really exposed to a single long ball out from the opposition defence. I lost count of the goals we conceded because of that. I'm sure RK has tightened that loophole although I think folk get carried away by Lennon perspiration. I think it was against Watford where he ran around lots but lost overlapping full backs on a few occasions.

If we had attacking forwards other than lukaku - or midfielders who got in the box Del would be making goals!
He whipped in balls in the first 20 minutes no forwards in the box why they are plodders apart from Lukaku!
two appearances his last game MOTM v watford as he gave us attacking pace!

Why did Martinez drop him then?

Or are both managers wrong

3 managers, Emery dropped him after less than 6months also.

That is troubling

That being said, the lads only 22 like. He could have another 8-10 years in him easy. Maybe he's a late bloomer?

I dont understand it Mikey, I like the lad, hes got talent and he always at least looks to make things happen, but his last 3 managers have dropped him from a great height after almost 6months and not once given him a route back in.

At some point you would hope something might click, as you say, maybe in 2 or 3 years he could be a more rounded player, but for now, if hes not in the managers plans, it would be better all round if we moved him on and replaced him with somebody that is.

I would give him a chance he is young 2 starts since August - is not a chance he looked very good pre season playing down the middle imo!

Well 5 if you wanna include the 2 Barca managers that swerved him also.

He's been bombed out by 4 managers in about 4 years

Worrying

 

[blue62]

I hate it when we offload entertaining, skilful players like Geri, I blame the style of play and demands of the PL above all else, great shame to see him go out on loan as I reckon we won't see him back.

Cleverley is clearly the "new Osman"

Kind of like "New Coke", and about as palatable

Hes so bad Barcelona have a buy back clause FGS he is just a youngster started twice - give me your opinions on our older plodders then like the Stek - Barry etc

 

[TheCount]

He's got skills. Great option from the bench and a starter for me when on form.

Everything has to be black and white with some people. He's amazing / complete waste of space kill him. Calm
