It's already been confirmed we have an option on another year, and barring an injury crisis at Barca or selling Neymar and Alexis in the summer, there's no reason to see why it won't happen.
Martinez's own words - it's another year "if Barcelona don't need him". I can't imagine a situation where they'll "need" a 19/20 year old raw player given the array of talent they have, and that's before they spend again in the summer.
It's beneficial to all parties to extend the loan.
The only time I read about the option, it was always in the context of it being determined by the parent club, not Everton...Even your quote from Martinez echoes that
I'm not clinging to any form of hope at all, i think it's good that he's here and it's good to have him in the team but he isn't vital to us at all, if he's here next season, great. If not i don't really care, we'll replace him.
I think you are a very arrogant person if i'm honest, you're somewhat offended that a club like everton may be able to loan your player for more than a season, and you stick to your ritual of believing whatever the paper writes, it may be close to the club but that does not mean they actually know what they are talking about.
He's on loan for a reason, the reason being he wouldn't get into the barca first team. Has he radically improved since the start of the season, no. He's slightly improved, he still has a long way to go before he is ready for your 'great, great' club.
Yet, you are clinging to that hope...I posted from the first day that Deulofeu was a loan, to enjoy him and that he'd become a fan favorite...but he'd always be returning...My guess was that it would indeed be 2 years but I altered that assessment in December, right before Martino himself and
MD reported he'd be with the 1st team next season
I'm sure if I need a psych profile, I could do better than you Aaron, if I'm being honest...Moreover, has little to do with arrogance to believe he'd be returning sooner than later to say nothing of how misguided & baseless your comment about me being
offended about him staying with Everton...If I'm being honest, it's arrogant on your part to somehow draw conclusions on what I'm thinking rather than what I am posting
I've seen nothing from him this season that I haven't already seen many times before, albeit against weaker opposition...Competitively, Deulofeu has the profile of a world class talent...He is definitely
not there yet but he's shown he can be dominant against strong opposition...But somehow, according to you, a
great great club like Barcelona couldn't benefit from that sort of talent from the bench while Everton could
I go by logic and what I see from talent at my club, I've been watching youth players at the club for 7 years now...I look forward to guessing which ones will make it with the first team and which ones won't...Deulofeu has always needed to work on his complete game despite oozing talent which is what brought me to watching him with Everton...It was the first time a counted on talent like that was loaned out, an exception really...I was curious to see how he'd do against better competition than Segunda or U19 teams and it's clear to everyone, including his parent club, that he will come to dominate
