Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

[mythbuster]

100m ?

Everybody has their price. Or so you said. Are we giving them away now?

 

[ijjysmith]

He SHOULD get yelled at if he's not passing to his teammates. We're a possession based team FFS

Arsed. As long as we score more goals than the other team I'm not bothered if there's 78 passes in the build up or none.

100m ?

For selling all 4 of them in 18 months time, yes. Easily

Big season this Groucho...

It is but surely you must appreciate that we'll have a good group of young players.

And wherever they may end up eventually, they're here now (GD pending).

Do you get worried when the transfer window opens mate ?

No. I have a lot more to worry about than the transfer window mate!

Slightly excited with a tinge of mild concern.

Better than him passing to the opposition or the ball boys like Naismith does

 

[marty mcfly]

Do you get worried when the transfer window opens mate ?

No I'm always optimistic and the last three summers have been great.

All 4 of them will be playing for different teams in 18 months time. Barkley would of gone this summer had he had a somewhat decent season. You know it, I know it and everyone knows it.

Everyone has a price.

Yes and ? They will only move to 'bigger things' if they play well for us . Also if they move , its for big money.

Whats the issue ? We get great talent , they play well for us , worth paying the ticket price to see play , excite us , get us lots of money if they move on , or if they stay continue to give us something enjoyable.
wheres the downside ?

I'm between. I get both of you.

If we fail to score because he won't pass I hope every single Blue in the stadium gets on his case

Losing the ball I can handle

Misplacing a pass I can forgive

Misstime a tackle and I'll let you off

But allowing your own selfish greed to cause detriment to your team is something I won't sit on my hands and tolerate

You have to be consistent with this approach though, and apply it to all players.

I for one welcome the wee Spaniard.

But if it's to the benefit of the team, like if he does a Maradona and skins 4 players and then dinks the keeper, is that alright?

I don't get why some people have to be such downers about our players. Remember we managed to buy Baines as a 21 year old, turn him into one of the best left backs in Europe and keep him for his entire career. Jagielka is still here despite constant interest from Arsenal. We don't automatically sell all our players the minute they become good.

 

[blue4eva77]

Gerard Deulofeu though... A woody over potential.

I honestly fear for some of you, a genuine fear if we signed a top top player. Its mind boggling this.

Imagine if GOT was around when we signed Kanchelskis. Wept !!!!

It's a fine line that he regularly crossed last time he was here

Hopefully he's more of a team player should he play for us again
