Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[USABlue]

There is definitely more risk with Deulofeu

true but in our current situation at the club I think risks need to be taken, spending 28m on Rom was a risk as well but we can all agree it was a move that needed to be done. I think signing Deulofeu and Lennon would be a good balance for the squad but signing Lennon over/instead of Del would be a mistake for me. Yeah he had a decent season and worked hard for the team which should earn him a move but he's hardly going to be a player to take us to the next level (i know you need some flash and some substance to balance) but he's getting close to 30 and still lacks any end product. if its 8m for del and 8m for lennon i'd pick Del everytime even if it's more of a risk as there's more of an award as well. Lennon is what he is at this point

Really ? If you're two wingers are Gerri and Lennon, full backs have to sit further back because of their pace. Yes their final back is lacking at times but you can't take either of them lightly.

think LL meant if the wingers were mcgeady and lennon

Read it wrong then. Apologies all round.

just my guess mate! either way I hope mcgeady isn't starting as it would mean Kev is off most likely. and i think mcgeady is a decent squad option btw but shouldn't start most games

We are buying players as assets, not ambitious marquee footballers though. Sadly.

 

[Brennan]

Agree.
Lennon desperate to come.

RE: Garbutt (In February)

I said all this last week...

Its close believe me.

As soon as he signs hes off to Bolton on loan

Now do us all a favour and pipe down you cringeworthy attention seeker.

Was meaning the combo of McGeady and Lennon - think the combo of Lennon/Deulofeu would be great as they provide different things but both have a lot of pace. McGeady tbf has a decent turn of pace himself but for the money we'd need to buy Lennon don't think he is that much of an upgrade to McGeady.

like property really, our transfer business.

By cheap, try build it up, make it better, then sell on for a premium.

 

[Brennan]

Oh, and on one of the players we actually did get in (Atsu):

No idea...not heard anything on this.

Now i know where Mystic Meg went when she stopped writing for the Sun.

I reckon some stadium news could be imminent...call it a hunch

Jinkyali any chance you could read my palms please.

 

[Moomin]

Look everyone, the fun is over.

Del for three million was fun while it lasted. Get over it and except it for a lie.

Don't try and hold on.

It's a lie.
