Gerard Deulofeu

[Shibbywiggles]

His first touch is sublime, it buys him a good yard and a second or two on the defender.

The control before the second goal when the ball was pinged over head-height. Then he just stares out the left back and attacks him.

Think we'd have to qualify for the CL for Del to refuse a move back to Barca. Would you sacrifice a League Cup win for that ?

Realistically there is no reason we couldn't do both, when into the season is the league cup final? Could a win bounce us into further enthusiasm and winning mentality for the prem?

If barca came for del next year he'd say no. No chance of getting ahead of the others consistently and he genuinely does love it here, think his time in sevilla may have highlighted that importance to him.

This all being said he definitely will go back eventually if he keeps this up, I just don't think as soon as people think.

 

[The Equaliser]

We are trying but negative Nancy's like you keep pointing out the blooming obvious.

There is really no need for an unprovoked personal attack like that pal. Jaysus, no wonder this place is at war most of the time.

Oh you.

That's either a gross exaggeration or you're playing along with my cheeky dig which meant no harm.

Yes fair enough. I was just posing the impossible question really. It would be a hell of a dilemma to have to make that choice.

The forum would be a much better place if people didn't get so personal when expressing their opinions.

 

[Elong]

Doesn't pass to his team mates, is too selfish, too many stepovers eh? Usual suspects gone quiet!

 

[deipnosophist]

Everton without Deulofeu is so much less potent. Del is (at least) the talent of Ross and Mirallas rolled into one player. He's gonna be Spain's captain one day.

Ahhh you're playing along! Good man/woman.

You're right though, they can't be oblivious to his form. Ideal back up to their front 3? I can't see why he wouldn't be.

 

[Jamiednm]

His goal tonight was Ronaldo-esque. And he's only 21. Jesus H. Christ, he is already brilliant - he's going to be a wordly.

 

[Tramps_mate]

He's playing for a return to Barca.. Obviously..

The full back was probably thinking 'that's okay, the ball will skim off his forehead for a throw....oh sh*t'.

If that got us a cup win or two and a top 4 finish, then he can play for place in the Brazil 1970 World Cup squad with my blessing.

 

[maccavennie]

He has been absolutely superb and is no doubt exceeding his own expectations I should imagine regarding what an integral part of the team he has become.

He seems a smart kid as well and I think will massively appreciate the faith shown in him by Martinez and of course the fans. Talking of fans, boss away support AGAIN. Best in the land by a mile and then some

 

[stamullenblue]

Why all the negative nonsense. He is class and loves Everton. Has to agree to go back to barca and with Neymar , Suarez and messi he will struggle to start... He's going nowhere ... FFS have some faith lads !!!!
