Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[Groucho]

.....if it does happen it will be interesting to see if it ends our interest in Lennon.

I'd actually hope not.

Both would be ace.

 

[Mashtray]

I won't believe it till this fella says so

as i saw him, i heard his voice in my head!

 

[kithnou]

I would assume unless we sell Mirallas or McGeady, we can't spend any more on a winger. Need to use the money elsewhere.

 

[Jimmywhack]

Wonder if he will masquerade him as the number ten he was on about?

I would be less inclined personally.

I KNOW we lack wingers, but we have a very limited kitty and we really need a good CB and IMO a striker, the thought of Kone being back up to Lukaku fills me with utter dread. Not to mention a playmaker.

 

[andy4efc]

Yes mate correct. I stood corrected in a post just after that which provided details of the launch.
Unfortunately as an international supporter, we don't get that information. Or I was just ignorant on this occasion.

My bad I didnt see anything after your reply until my post.

 

[Goat]

The big thing is the squad itself lacks balance in a big way, we have about 25 CMs, 2 strikers, 3 wingers and 2 CBs.

Sell McGeady for 50p, buy Lennon and Deulofeu, keep Mirallas.

I am not so sure about that. Mirallas has been used through the middle a bit. We are also losing Lennon and Atsu and possibly Mirallas on top. There is room for a winger.

If Dufus signs(Im sorry, im never gonna attempt to spell his name, I struggled when he was here for 12months so it makes my life easier if I call him Dufus, its bad, I know its bad, but its the way its gonna be, soz abar me) we then have 4 wingers, now im VERY aware that Pienaar is almost done, injury wise, but hopefully he can stay fit, maybe, McGeady appears to be utter rubbish, this could change, maybe, Mirallas is a little unsettled, but numbers wise, we are "ok", you would assume we would operate a 1 in 1 out policy regards that.

I know we had 2 extra wingers last season, but Atsu was a waste of a shirt and we know El Fraudo really loves sticking those central players out wide.

My biggest concern with Lennon is Levy, he pulls Bills pants down every time and while I consider Lennon value at anything up to 7-8m, its a BIG chunk of our kitty for other, more pressing needs.

Never do business with Levy.

 

[applecrumble]

A decent CB or Keeper would be more pressing than Lennon if we signed Del and keep Kev.

 

[Prevenger17]

I hate to agree with Goat on anything, but if Del is definitely coming to us, I would hope that we would start prioritising a centre half and a playmaker over Lennon. It's depressing that we're so resigned to the fact Howard is staying that we don't even mention buying a GK.

We are getting Poldoski lad.

Cause he is 30 he will play for free. He is not bothered about champions league togger as well. His last ambition is to hear the booooooos of Goodison.

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.

I agree that we wouldn't want to sell a top player for 12 million Euros but I highly doubt he is going to get to the level that Barcelona will want to buy (Suarez, Neymar etc) and even if he does we will have had the privilege of having one of the worlds best players playing for us for 2 seasons and will have helped us progress as a club (hopefully to the top 4 or a trophy win) and that will be worth more than the 12 million Euros in the long run anyway
