Cornish Steve Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 So does that mean he won't be eligible when we play Barca in the Champions League final? Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 i wish I could believe this. He really needs to listen to Roberto next season and improve his decision making. You're in for a disappointment then because his decision making is likely to still be hit and miss for a good few years yet. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyarkosLeftToe Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think the lads brilliant, made up we've potentially got him for another year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think of his decision making wasn't a problem he probably wouldn't be loaned out. His technical ability is brilliant. Ant1979 and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee_in_LA Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I just hope he starts cutting inside more, BPL defenders are quick to snuff out someone's strength after a season and stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry mate, I can just about take EPL, but BPL?! It's not the British Premier League. It's the English Premier League. Sorry for being picky, but does my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being picky, but does my head in. I thought in the BPL abbreviation that B=Barclays. Of course, depending on your proclivities you might think that's even worse.

Cornish Steve Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yup: BPL is Barclay's Premier League. Mind you, once he's dominated the World Cup, it could become Barkley's Premier League. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being picky, but does my head in. It's called the Barclays Premier League here in the states mate, no need to apologize for being picky. I refuse to call it soccer though, keep that in mind at least . Anyway to stay on topic, I am one of Gerry's biggest supporters but he has been shite the last couple of games. If he does stay on loan, I think as many have said that a full preseason will help him out a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I really can't see this lad playing for Barcelona. He is really good. The problem is that he thinks he's Pele, Maradona, and Zidane mixed into one player, so he tries to do things way beyond his level...

The problem is that he thinks he's Pele, Maradona, and Zidane mixed into one player, so he tries to do things way beyond his level... Why is he really good though? Because he's a Barca player? He beat his man once today. Once and got a cross in to lukaku to head over. That's all I can remember him doing. Clyne is a very good player but Gerry made him look like fucking cafu today. He's way way way too predictable. Edited April 26, 2014 by GoodisonRoad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Not sure about him just now. For me, he does great right up until he gets into the penalty area. At which point, he twists n turns away from his marker, then twists n turns back into trouble....he either loses it or whacks in a cross which goes out for a throwing!!! Id have him for another season. At his age, its up to him and the coaches around him to get the most from what he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 i don't rate him, never have. one trick pony with ONE FOOT, he was on the left and showed he can't even use that foot. there's only one arjen robben, and you're not it gerry. squad player for me and league and FA cup matches, i don't want him near the starting lineup next year.

Hafnia Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Over reaction alert. Some of you were raving about him... He's a kid, the way Barkley, stones and other young potentially world class players are. He has got all the tools to be awesome, now just let him be the age he is, I recall only too well ronaldo having matches like this when he was a kid. The exception to the rule is lukaku, he just hasn't got what is needed, awful touch, poor feet, yes when his man stands off him he can look effective, if they get stuck into him he is shite.

MC11 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just turned 20 not that it makes any difference. He still has a lot to learn and he's not ready for Barca yet. I think yesterday highlighted he is best from the right side of midfield. He could not get past Clyne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 why did you contradict yourself?! You were making so much sense! I feel that lukakus hype has been created through his physicality - he is as big and as strong as he is going to be. The same can't be said for stones, Barkley, and Gerry who will likely gain a further 20% over the next year or so. The physicality is there to supplement the technical ability. That's where romelu is pretty much sub standard for a prem striker. He is not going to be technically good enough, compare him to other big strikers like djouro, djecko, Lambert, they all have great ability on the ball.

GoodisonRoad Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I understand hes still young, I've used that as a defence for a few players because you still see glimpses of their quality, and you can see that they are still developing. I don't see that in Gerry. Loved to be proved wrong but I just don't think the kids good enough. Hazard is actually a good comparison. There was a similar amount of hype across Europe as there as been with Gerry about his talent, but hazard was performing to a lot higher standard than Gerry is right now. You could say hazard was in a lesser league in France but I also recall him playing in the champions league when he was 19-20. You could see enough from him then to say would be a boss player. I don't see Gerry being at hazards level in a year or two. I'd be happy to quote me on this if we get him next year and he tears shit up btw! markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Let's be honest, mourinho has played a massive role in hazard making the step up that we have seen this season. He is one of the top 10 players in the world. Gerry will develop very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Deulofeu is being compared to a player who was playing regularly when he's still being eased into regular first team action? I'm as frustrated as anyone with some of his performances but you have to take the pain in order to get the pleasure with these sorts of players. Just look at Sterling - burst on to the scene, faded badly and looked shite, now he's learnt from that and looks capable of doing great things.

Hazards technical ability and skill have been on show for the last 2-3 years, which is why all the top teams in Europe were ready to spend £30-40m on him. I don't see it personally Haf but like I said, happy to be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
