Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

Wish we had a mandatory sell-back clause for Kone.

He is going to be in a fantastic moment of form any day now and you will see an Arouna who I think is a true number 9 without doubt. We are talking about a player who has the ability to play a number of positions and will make us very strong.......you get the gist, 'phenomenal' followed by 'moment of form' followed by something that immediately contradicts himself. The usual Martinez sound bite.

Can't wait.
 
The 'buy back' clause (if there is definitely going to be one should we sign him) is a win-win - IF we do sign him and in 2 years time Barcelona want to buy him back for the reported 12million Euros then it means he has been pretty special in those 2 years and we will have doubled our money along with having a great player play for us for 2 seasons. If he isn't very good 6million Euros is not a big loss considering the money we have spent on other players in the past.

Exactly.
 
I thank that is a very naïve view, Gerry and his agent will already has this in their mind, so if that happened, he would be massively paid for that move.....and would move to a bigger club than us.

Hah! Naive?
Nice one mate, sure you can just sit there worrying about Deulofeu's master plan so.

This place is hilarious sometimes.
 

Yes, and proved it well for me.

To be perfectly honest I have no idea what your talking about. Naivety is not defined as a person unwilling to make grand jumps in 'logic' in order to arrive at the conclusion that they wanted in the first place.

Now fire away and take the last word on the matter because I have no intention of having an online argument about whether or not I'm being naive when thinking a footballer of Deulofeu's quality would re-sign for Barca just to make them and him a bit more cash (with no chance of him ever playing for them). Frankly, I don't think he'd want to embarrass himself like that.

A big 'IF'...

Has the ability to be a crowd favourite, your best and key player. Imagine your best player leaving for just 12 million euro's in two years time. The clause won't be an issue now because you just want him signed, but it certainly has the potential to cause massive fume further down the line.

Player values are only getting bigger and your Naismith's will be signing for clubs for 12 million euro's in two years time.

Probably not though. He'll huff and puff for a couple of years, make the right pass about once every 30 or 40 attempts and link up with Ross Barkley at Hull.
