Matt Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 My girlfriend is Portuguese so I know what you mean. Sometimes she can be asking her family 'What are you having for tea?' and it sounds as if World War III is breaking out.off topic, but does it sound like Russian to you? Worked with Portuguese for years, cracking people and hard workers, but there language is insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCBarça Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Club officials on twitter said it was more Gerard didn't understand what was being asked of him and Martinez was trying to explain it to him which I can't imagine being easy during a match! Local papers in Barcelona seem to think it was over Deulo not tracking back & pressing enough - which, as I have mentioned before, has been an issue in his development. Good for Martinez to stay on him, either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Local papers in Barcelona seem to think it was over Deulo not tracking back & pressing enough - which, as I have mentioned before, has been an issue in his development. Good for Martinez to stay on him, either way. I think how he handles this kid - (who clearly talented, needs his attitude adjusting) will be key to how the other players see Roberto as a "manager". It's a test that Moyes was faced with immediately when he joined Everton. I was there when he subbed Jesper Blomqvist and Blomqvist showed dissent, Moyes didn't miss the opportunity to let him and everyone else there know who was boss. Maybe he needs knocking down and building up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCBarça Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 @hafnia, Which is definitely something Deulofeu has been in short supply of - although Eusebio did call him out in the media. It's tough with young talents who are already making money at an early age through boot endorsements etc. (He's a Nike player). If he had a motor/head like Pedro, the kid would be a sensation.

His outlook on football is refreshing to say the least. Looking forward to seeing Gerard do some magic in a blue shirt, with his talent its gonna happen.

Hafnia Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I can see Gerry and Ross trying to outdo eachother - harnessed in the right way that could be awesome for us. Certainly Barkleys performance will have given Gerry the message "you ain't the only youngster with talent - so don't be thinking you are too good for us" I think Gerry will try and rise to the level of Ross's performance - workrate and playing for the team being the key message.

FCBarça Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) It's still quite early but it's already looking a mistake to have opted for a new league, style etc. rather than going to another Primera club like Racing, Sociedad, Betis, Los Che etc Edited August 25, 2013 by FCBarça Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ffs, 2 games into the season. He will feature but people are acting like the PL is a doddle and that a spanish super talent from Barcas B team will walk on to the team and cause major havoc to the opposition. The PL is the best league in the world. Deulofeu will get a chance soon. I hope he lives up to 50% of the expectations. If he does, he will be an excellent addition to Everton. FCBarca - Deulofeu will be a better player in a years time, because he opted for a new league, style etc. Its only been 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I said when we signed him I was concerned that Martinez would do with him what he did with Henriques who he loaned from United, and barely play him. I hope that doesn't prove to be the case because I'm excited about seeing him play for us. I think yesterday would have been a good opportunity to play him. We were crying out for something different and there'd have been no harm in throwing him on for the last 10 minutes I felt. Perhaps subbing the anonymous Osman, shifting Pienaar inside and playing Del out wide. Or moving Barkley into Osman's midfield position and having Del behind Kone.

Alguna Vez Tonelada Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think the League Cup tie v Stevenage is the ideal match to blood Deulofeu. He is a confidence player and if he has a good game and maybe a goal or two we will see the best of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Mirallas and Pienaar have not done enough to warrant their place so far, Deulofeu or any other winger deserve a chance. Hopefully, if they play well get to keep their place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I was a little surprised he didn't come on late in yesterday's game but then it was fairly brutal at times and also finely balanced so not the best game to introduce him. I think Wednesday's cup game will be ideal for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Think we should play him against Stevenage when they're dead and buried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 He'll get to play against the more open and less physical teams. WBA yesterday were rather like Stoke, and Deulofeu would have made little impact. Play him against Swansea or Liverpool or Crystal Palace and he'll enjoy himself.

StevO Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Start him against Stevenage on the right, jelavic in the middle and Kone wide left. Got to be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCBarca - Deulofeu will be a better player in a years time, because he opted for a new league, style etc. Its only been 2 games. I would've merely expected him to get some minutes and seeing that the loan is simply a season long one, not sure what benefit there is to Everton to view it as a longterm project. Seems odd to give the #10 shirt to a player that is firmly planted on the bench. Might be a case of Martinez hoping he can secure Deulo's services for longer but I doubt very much that the club will look favorable on the loan if he rarely plays - the goal was for the player to get seasoned since they do count on him in their plans. Apparently, the player preferred a move to the Premiership over staying in Spain for the loan but that too may change. It's early of course but I expected at least a quarter hour or something, perhaps the League Cup. Edited August 26, 2013 by FCBarça Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you rightly pointed out, he was given the number 10 shirt. But its only been two games and we saw clearly in the states that Gerard needs a little time to learn how to play in Robertos system. He will almost certainly get some time against Stevenage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Lets not forget that he only had two/three weeks of preseason after his extended break. He might not be 100% fit yet. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 He will surely feature soon enough as Steve said he's likely not to have been 100% fit and ready and it is a tough league to adapt to at a young age even more so without being fully fit. I'd love to see him on the right and bring mirallas into the middle sat just behind Kone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
