Deulofeu

Sounds like the door is still open for him to stay.

“If nothing changes I expect him to be at pre-season training. If something does change, then we will talk about it.”

Koeman sounds really excited.

Is the end of June that Barca have to make their decision by?

Please god

Hate to break it to the lads but he is literally better than anyone we have outwide by a good way.

Wonder why he couldn't have got the playing time here seeing as Bolasie was out injured for a year, Mirallas was in and out of the team and Lennon had become invisible before depression kicked in?

I don't think that'll matter.

Can't see him staying to be honest but I do like him, I just can't get my head around why he doesn't score more as I've discussed before at length.

If he was capable of switching up his play a bit more as well, a bit like ronaldo when he first came through at United and could just tear a full back apart going either direction again and again and again. With deulofeu he's capable but if he's not getting past them he seems to burn out quite quickly.

Seems like every managers he's played for isn't convinced and considering that Roberto Martinez is the exception to that, doesn't help his case.

He just need to get his head down for a year and learn how to play for the better of the team rather than individually.

That's hardly a ringing endorsement.

When he's on it, he's good, when he's not he's just a passenger and fitness still seemed an issue as well.

Even under Martinez he disappeared out of the team for a while didn't he?

Yeah, bit of an odd one that though. Struggle to believe it was a pure footballing decisionbecause Deulofeu was smashing the assists charts and then couldn't get a game for about four month.

95% of the time he's useless and 5% absolutely brilliant. He could get away with being ok 95% and brilliant 5% but that all hangs on stamina for me

[blueski]

Italy's the place for him IMO having seen a few of his appearances

Agree with all the posts above.

He's boss, but does he have it to make it here?

He was pretty awful anytime he played under Koeman.

But I'd hate to see us get rid of such talent so easily and see us keep faith with someone like Mirallas who's run his course here.

Without going over the top (maybe Iam) I think he's the most talented footballer we've had since Arteta and someone we should look to keep here.

But I can see who Koeman doesn't fancy him.
