Gerard Deulofeu

[bluestevon]

Deul playing off Lukaku is how I'd imagine it, never know. He did well playing centrall most of the game, needs to sharpen up his finishing if he is going to be central though.

Mate thing is, look at the improvement in his crossing over the first spell here until last season, arguably as hard a skill to learn as finishing is (see coleman for that), a similar improvement on finishing and my word what a player

His crossing is great, sometimes he should be AMR, sometimes behind Rom.

Depends on the oppositions weaknesses.

 

[LydiateLee]

I love him. Potentially the best around seriously. If managed properly he will show himself to be top level for sure, I'm talking world class.

 

[deipnosophist]

Classy player...very classy.
I suspect Koeman will be an ideal manager to assist his realising full potential.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Hopefully has and amazing season but gets injured for 3 months when the season ends as if not Barca will have him back.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

He must be made up being managed by someone he grew up hearing countless stories of , a Barca legend.

He's good at crossing because he keeps himself composed on the ball. In the box there isn't that time.

I personally think his ability to beat a man and whip in boss crosses is something we should be looking to capitalise on.
It is always good to have other options though

All we need then is some one in the centre who can get up and head a ball! (Ronaldo??lol)

 

[Carlito]

I hope Koeman sees the benefit of finding a place in the side for Deulofeu every week. Not bothered where, just get him on the pitch.

He's a proper difference maker. I'd lose any of the other beauts before him.

 

[whiteshadow]

I hope we are smart enough to buy out his buy back clause before the season starts, if Barca are open to it.

If he's fit and used properly this season he's going to destroy some teams.

 

[svenboss]

Personally think he is so good at providing crosses from out wide that he is a bit wasted in the central role, he often moves inside anyhow when we are on a fast break.

Don't think he is physical enough to be regularly a striker but played pretty well there today.

I said it last season, he should be played behind the striker, the boy has an eye for a through ball and can run off the main striker. He could still run into the channels and whip it in.

When do Barca's clauses to take him off us on the cheap finish?

Can't remember but my head is telling me 3 years.
