Gerard Deulofeu

[Shibbywiggles]

I'm actually more in the Del stays a winger camp but when we're talking about muscle and physical shape just look at Ronaldo. Scrawny as anything when we first came to United but look at him now. If Del wanted to change his body type he has the right people around him to make it happen.

.....I suspect we can't make him any taller, though.

Totally agree, I'm sure @Baines' left foot would take him under his considerable wing?

I really do hope that Barca never activate the buyback clause as I do think Del is the real deal and can be a world beater. I really do think he has the natural ability to be that good.

They option simply gives them first refusal with a pre-arranged fee.

He can still say no and stay.

We have the technology

Can't see Gerri as an out and out striker, week in week out, but I do like the idea of having the option, depending on the game. It will defo keep the opposition guessing. If he wants to do it more, he is going to have to raise his fitness and strength considerably.

I agree with that but his fitness worries me. I know none of them were fit under Bob but he really was struggling with his cardio more than most.

Exactly the same height as Lineker... didn't hold him back

...true, but different type in that Lineker was a born and bred finisher. I'm a huge fan of Deulofeu but I suspect he will still score as many goals from out wide and create a host more than he will as a CF.

I feel your suspicions are based on the old Everton, Moshiri gets what he wants mate whatever that may be.

Nothings impossible mate !!

Absolutely criminal that the lad couldn't get a start in the second half of last season because T-Clevz tracked back more

I could see his position being up front as part of a 2 with the freedom to move about if we are playing against a defence that is playing high up the field. Rom as the steady CF and Gerard playing off the shoulder, he has the pace to cause havoc and also has the skill to adapt if need be. I think he would be caught offside less than Lukaku too. Against West Brom or wherever Pulis may be at the time then not so...

We just need to find a starting berth every week for this lad as he has huge potential and constantly provides a threat ... Think he could play a couple of roles for us this season ..
