Zoo Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd be happy with Deulofeu. Martinez will probably get bashed for signing him though as Deulofeu was probably spotted in Wigan a few years ago having a pint and it's somehow 'another Wigan signing'.

Steve_E Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I wasn't thinking he was too young. So you reckon he'd get plenty of games? In place of Pienaar perhaps with Mirallas on the left? I'd like to see: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Awesome. Proper talent. Exciting talent If he does arrive, we're definitely out of the running for Honda. Good stuff, even if it is only a loan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd like to see: If this lad is as good as people are saying then I would love that to be our starting line-up! Could you imagine the quality of the link up play between Baines, Pienaar, Mirallas and Kone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd like to see: I'd like that. A lot. And hopefully we'd see Barkley getting on for proper minutes to replace Pienaar. Gruffter78, nutmegwolf203, Bailey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Just had a watch of some YouTube videos, and he looks very good in front of goal. Very composed. The way he runs with the ball also reminds me a little of Mirallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_E Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 who is this Guillem guy? Writes for AS, Sky Sports and Twentyfour7 among others. Apparently writing a book on Messi as well by a quick scan of his twitter feed. Has anyone read this: https://twitter.com/twentyfour7/status/352732564911435776/photo/1?

Louis Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I like the idea of him joining but don't like the idea of there being no buying fee clause. GoodisonRoad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I like the idea of him joining but don't like the idea of there being no buying fee clause. Louis, he's one of Barca's hottest young talent's.Even with a buy out fee, it's not like we could ever afford him anyway imo.

Lowensda Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I hope he's fantastic. Mate of mine, who is a proper football synic and as hard as punch to please, said this, after I said Barca think he's the 'shit'; "He is. I heard about him a few years ago and I don't exactly follow their youth teams! He's been talked about that much. I hope he gets good game time so we can see him in action" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoward18 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 that free kick(second clip) Yeah that was ridiculous, and then the Olympico on the SAME GOALKEEPER. Poor guy must have had nightmares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Looks absolutely class. Is he a right winger? We could have some real quality on the break next season with Mirallas, Kone and this guy. Plus Bobbys tactic. Feeling optimistic as this rumor seems to be becoming more and more talked about! Lets not forget what happend with the Fer situation though. COYB! Edited July 9, 2013 by AidanLewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The free kick, scoring a corner, goal 7 the penalty he strikes with no follow through but plenty of power. I don't care if this kid is on the wing, up front or a midfielder with freedom, he needs to be playing for Everton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I watched the USA vs Spain U-20 game and, while it was a one game sample size, it looked like he was kind of playing the Messi role of "you're so good that you can just go wherever the hell you want." Half of his runs were down the left flank and half were down the right. And then sometimes he would try to penetrate the middle. Obviously you can't have him running around aimlessly but I think he can be utilized in a whole number of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Also highly relevant, his last name appears to be some version of "God of Fire". Steve_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Watching that video has made me slightly dizzy at the prospect of seing him in the Everton shirt. Is he a winger or a striker? (mainly) Is it a buy or a loan on the table? Seems to like both the left and the right but favours the right? Just imagine: ...................Joel....................... Coleman..Jags...Distin..Baines ......Fellaini...Gibbo...Pienaar ......Deulofeu..Kone...Mirallas Backups: Howard, Alcaraz, Oviedo, Osman, Barkley, Jelavic, Stones, Heitinga, Anichebe, Hibbo, Some real pace and flair in the starting 11, Baines, Pienaar and Mirallas linking up well on the left. Coleman bombing down the right with Felli and Deulofeu. Gibbo spreading the ball through the middle, latching on to Kone or Jelavic. Back 4 intact. COYB!

Mirallas Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 practical question: Is it pronounced "Day Oolofay oh" or "Doilofay oh" or "Dyoolohfay" or whatever else you can make of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBlood81 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 This lad would be an amazing attacking option for us and i'm truly excited about the possibility. Would also be amazing if we could build strong ties with Barca moving forward. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
