Watford Fan - Gerard Deulofeu

Wasn't one of his last games for us v Watford? Where he was just about the only player on the pitch still giving his all right to the end? He drifted all over the pitch looking for the ball though, from memory. Probably wasn't giving enough defensively when 1-0 down so was shipped out soon after, if it wasn't his last game?
 
He can thread a ball like xavi and iniesta at times, cross it like Beckham at times but sadly he mostly fannys about leaving 5 yard passes short through a lack of care and concentration, doesn't even pretend to want to fall in to a team formation/shape and would rather retire than put his foot in to win the ball. Classic case of an incredible underage talent that simply hasn't the mental strength and application to kick on at senior level.
 
He and Rom had a very good connection going for a while. Good at creating danger from nothing. Others already highlighted his limitations.
 
In true Safestyle UK style, you're gonna buy one and get one free. Good luck with your new forum poster who'll go by the name of FCBarca xxx
 
i really liked him, to be honest i just felt that Koeman didnt have the patience to work on players like him.

the fitness issues could surely have been sorted, would have been great for us as one of a 4-3-3 if a bit of patience had been shown
 
shares Bolasie's love of attempting silly FIFA tricks when just running in a straight line would work better.

but unlike Bolasie, it's his lungs and not his limbs that don't appear on speaking terms with his brain.

That was December i think. His last game may have been at home to Leicester in the FA Cup? Think he set up Lukaku
 
He doesn't seem to last long at any of the clubs that buy him, which does create the unfortunate impression that managers are tantalised by his obvious talent, but then rather underwhelmed by the full version of Geri versus his highlights reel.
 
You don't know how lucky you are.

I wish we were on the verge of fetching him back here.
probably lack of sleep, but when i first saw your post I thought it read ‘I wish we were on the verge of feltching him back here’. I think i need to go back on my tablets again!
