Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[roydo]

So let's keep this on the level. We've signed a first team striker, 1 reserve defender and 2 promising youngsters, one of which we have to give back. We badly need another CM.....if we sign Fer, then I'll be chuffed

Fair enough, but we have done it quickly. And one of the "promising youngsters" is held in very high esteem by arguably the best/biggest club in the world, and he has been entrusted into our care for 12 months.

That means something to me.

Bit too late for that mate, Norwich have agreed Fee, offered him a 5 yr deal, AND would you believe it...he's passed the medical!!

Junior Malanda on a free please! Belgian powerhouse who could be the next Yaya Toure they say!

Alcaraz will be in the team, he will not be a reserve.

 

[Blue_Berry]

Yeah I know mate - it was just to recognise the tune.

How about 'Gerard come, den he go back home'

Or more optimistically 'Gerard come and he won't go home'

Hope springs eternal....

His passing is not great so I wouldnt call him the next Toure just yet.

He terminated his contract so he is a free player. I see no reason not to sign him.

you have to be kidding.....wait, no you're not. WFT? unbelievable

 

[mawders]

who will he replace? Jags and Distin are immense

 

[FTY]

We've progressed so far in the last two years haven't we?

Team after deadline day in 2011:

Howard
Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines
Coleman Fellaini Neville Osman
Cahill
Saha

Compared to now:

Howard
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
Gibson Fellaini
Pienaar
Deulofeu Jelavic (Yep.) Mirallas

..and we've got genuine options as well, plus, we're not even done yet.

 

[Tubey]

I still have genuine nightmares about the Cahill and Saha partnership.

 

[Steve0]

He's streets ahead of Sterling.

They always do it so i'm not surprised but just why do they rate him so highly, he was bad last season he was often kept out of the side by Stewart Downing...

Brilliant.

"Gerard come and don't wanna go home" fits the rhythm!

Must say this is a wonderful signing. We have desperately needed players with some spark of magic in them - Mirallas was a breath of fresh air, but our only other flair player, Pienaar has been fading for years


I am certain he will have a lot of impact on the team. Even if just coming off the bench, it means we no longer have to bear with a "Naismith on" substitution, and that's a damn good thing , for me at least

 

[Baines' left foot]

I still have genuine nightmares about the Cahill and Saha partnership.

GAH!

You're opening old wounds here Tubey!

They always do it so i'm not surprised but just why do they rate him so highly, he was bad last season he was often kept out of the side by Stewart Downing...

He started the season well to be fair to him, he looked decent. I did hear off a few LFC fans though that he's utterly awful at keeping hold of the ball and I think defenders sussed him out in the end too. I think he'll be a good player but this lad is quite possibly something really special.

This is one of the reasons I'm happy with Martinez. Moyes followed the definition of insanity and kept repeating things that didn't work; he was beyond stubborn. Whereas Martinez infamously changed his entire formation quite radically mid-season as his previous one wasn't working.

hahahah me too mate me too
