It really takes chutzpah to go onto another teams forum and lecture the locals over their perceived lack of knowledge of the club you support, a club from another country no less.

I like that word

I do think it would be fine and I think he'd get plenty of minutes but I also appreciate the value in him getting enough minutes so I under Oscar Garcia's POV...Of course, it's important to note that not only does Garcia know him, certainly not more than any of his other coaches at Barcelona, he is also persona non grata at the club due to being a Cruyffist

As for what the player would be content with, I would counter that most Everton fans would have far less insight into that than Barcelona fans who have followed the player for far longer and understand what it means for a Catalan kid to succeed at their boyhood club...But it's true that it's unlikely Lucho has changed his opinion of the player over Munir/Sandro atm, despite Gerard's current run of form...As I have said many times before, no one questions his talent at the club...It's always been about other things

Whether those things change or have changed is difficult to gauge but it's also improbable that the club would consider giving up on a prized asset like Deulofeu for the pittance he was 'sold' for...Also why I contend it's really a form of an incentivized loan IMHO...The caveat, which I've also mentioned before, is whether the player has been damaged by what has gone on in the past year to refuse a return which I conceded is not out of the question

As you say, we will see...I am happy for the player as I have waited for years to see him play 1st team football and entertain

As a fellow Catalonian can you please put into words what Deulofeu must be feeling, your command of English is far greater than Gerard's at present and you seem very attuned to his thinking.

Is FCBarca an Everton fan or a Barca fan I can't even work it out. His English is pretty good so I reckon he's probably about 15 and lives in Bristol.

He's a Barca fan from Switzerland who has recently purchased a Basel shirt with Embolos name on it. I think we can safely assume that he's one massive knobhead.

Ohhhhhhhh he's one of those fans. There was me thinking he might have at least been Spanish but no no, he's a chode.

But he's got some sort of connection to Barcelona hasn't he? I mean other than his username. He's grandads first love was half Spanish or something? He's been to Sitges on holiday? He's eaten in a La Tasca? He's got an ISA with Santander?

It can't just be because they win things? can it...

I think he was bummed by a group of locals on a lads holiday to Tenerife, so he returned home with a little bit of Spain in him and it grew from there.

In a way I hope you're right.

You know what? If he's happy being a glory hunter then fair enough

If it makes him happy, then good for him

It's the fact he denies it that bothers me

That and he keeps using all the Catalan terms and language despite not being from Catalonia

I mean, I'm a bad Wool and might say "lar" now and then, but he really goes the whole hog

Again, that's fine if it works for him. I just wish he'd be honest about it all

who lives in america

From last nights results:

1. Spurs resolute again but Qarabag should probably have got a point.
2. Liverpool - what's going on with Sturridge? I'm struggling to believe his injuries are even proper injuries anymore. I think players are too quick to think they're injured; got to be more of a psychological thing now surely.
3. Mignolet sucks.

i had a mate in school who had a bad injury to his neck playing rugby while he was younger.

Every now and then he'd be on crutches in school just out of the blue Turns out when he got to about 20 years old the doctors told him there's never been anything wrong with his legs - it's all been in his head that they can't function properly.

You're far to reasonable for this place Mikey, for the crap he spouts on Redcafe I want the [Poor language removed] strung up from the nearest lamppost so people can throw dead pigeons at him

I think Chico said he's American, so we've got an American living in Switzerland supoorting a Spanish team, seems pretty standard stuff
