Barcelona starlet Deulofeu makes Everton loan move
Everton have signed 19-year-old forward Gerard Deulofeu on a season-long loan from Barcelona.

Deulofeu played last season for the Catalan club's B team, scoring 18 times in 33 matches.

He has made two senior appearances for Barcelona and helped Spain's Under-19s to become European champions in 2011 and 2012.

"Gerard is a real diamond of Spanish football and has incredible footballing talent," said manager Roberto Martinez.

"I am delighted that he has chosen to take the next step of his career with Everton."

Deulofeu will join up with the squad later this summer after having a break following his involvement in the recent Under-20 World Cup in Turkey.

Everton have signed exciting Barcelona starlet Gerard Deulofeu.

The 19-year-old forward is described as a 'diamond' by Blues boss Roberto Martinez and arrives on a season long loan and with a reputation as one of Europe's finest young prospects.

A number of top European sides were reportedly interested in securing the player and a delighted Martinez told evertonfc.com: "Gerard is a real diamond of Spanish football and a boy with incredible footballing talent and I am delighted that he has chosen to take the next step of his career with Everton."

A product of La Masia, Barcelona's famed youth system, Deulofeu played last season for the Catalan giants' 'B' team, scoring 18 times in 33 matches.

He has also made a handful of substitute appearances for Barca's senior side in the league, cup and Champions League and impressed enough to be handed a long term contract at the Nou Camp earlier this summer.

The 5ft 10in flyer is comfortable on either wing or behind the striker and renowned for his expert close control, swift changes of direction and unerring finishing.

Deulofeu has played for Spain's Under-17s, Under-19s, Under-20s and Under-21s and joins a growing band of Spanish speakers under Everton manager Martinez.

He will join up with the Blues squad later this summer after enjoying a well-earned break following his involvement in the recent Under-20s World Cup in Turkey.

Charlie Austin will now not be joining Hull City.. which means that our top six finish has every chance of being improved on.

I said our top six finish.. -):

After Carduff's scintillating 1-1 draw with high flying Cheltenham, they've actually signed someone at last.. a 3rd Division goalie no less -): http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23496939

Ummm ... Stephen Caulker the 21 year old England international centre half aint a goalie Stan.

You offloaded that donkey Austin yet ... got to be worth at least 50p :-)

.... and who would have thought it . worlds most expensive player is a Cardiff boy !!!

Grab it with both hands Gareth your worth every penny but don't forget to do the Ayatollah :-)

Carduff's only chance of saving themselves from relegation now disappears with this news http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23533841 -):

LOL LOL LOL........


15:44 BST

02/08/2013

And in 'Arsene Wenger moans about the economics of football' news, the Arsenal manager has bemoaned Real Madrid's reported £100m pursuit of Gareth Bale, claiming that it 'makes a joke of Financial Fair Play'.


"It makes a joke of it," said Wenger, who spent last night tearing himself apart as he desperately contemplated upping his bid for Luis Suarez to £40,000003.

a further 2 quid ......LOL.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/live-update/1054/transfer-window-live?ICID=OP

Stan , Charlie and QPR deserve each other ... both shite :-)

"Undisclosed fee" ... roflmao , Burnley don't want anyone to know they now got 50p to rebuild a team.

... and says a lot for Cheltenham scoring 1 and not conceding 4 unlike some , keep them coming Stan :-)

Maybe you could spend your 50p on their goalscorer :-)

Joint top for a couple of hours then normal service was resumed :)

Oh yes undefeated against one of the favourites to go up!.. which shows just what a promising team we have. Charlie, Charlie who? -):

And now onto the road to Wembley with a tricky but not insurmountable task at York City in tonight's League Cup encounter.

PS. I see your Thread on the Traders side is still stagnant.. just like your football team -):

Norwich v Everton first game of the season. Someone has offered me their seat for the match if the weather stays fine (they will be playing cricket). Grant Holt now gone to Wigan and lots of new boys playing for Delia......we shall see! Early season games can go either way.

Couple of new boys playing for Everton too Harry, plus a new manager who has no problem negotiating with Barcelona for players :O)

Based on history we might see a draw, but not too unhappy with that so long as there are a few goals! Are you trying to scare me mentioning Barcelona? Well, we've got..........er.......a guy from Argentina who went to Barcelona B...and then Leeds! :o)

Not trying to scare you Harry usually a good match. Just having a go at 'Dithering Davie' who can't seem to attract a fly to Old Trafford let alone Fabregas :O) Best not speak to soon though, as a last resort he may out of desperation poach Baines and Fellaini, be glad when transfer window is closed.
