Gotze is excellent, different kind of player to Gerard though.
I don't see the rush to compare young players or say who is the most promising
Deco 20
Scandinavian 101
Tbh there's probably quite a few teenagers who were better than Gerard at 17... Neymar (but no one knows if he'll implode, he's brazilian after all (+ attitude)), Lukaku, 'the new Messi' (paraguayan kid who plays for Argentina and recently signed for Porto... And then there's the 16-year-old wonder kid known as Coulibaly (scored 8! goals in u17 World Cup for a distinctly average Ivory Coast, many of them spectacular), + a few Mexican u17 world champions could be thrown into the mix.
Liverpool have Sterling and Suso, both look extremely promising. United have this Pogba guy. etc etc
But remember that Gerard could explode this season as he'll face better opposition, thus forcing him to evolve (or his development will slow down).

You just lost all credibility with this post...
Admitting that you never actually watched him play and then comparing him with another player all in the same line

Kid is a huge talent. Hope he kicks off with a goal soon, boost his confidence for the season ahead

Arsenal and Chelsea both want to sign Deulofeu
This kid should count himself extremely fortunate to play regularly on the b team at his age. Hell he's even trained and played with the big boys during preseason and everything indicates that Pep follows him very closely.
If, despite this, he still feels tempted by the PL then he can bugger off, as he wouldn't deserve being anywhere close to the greatest team the footballing world has ever seen.
Anyhow, I believe he's got his heart at the right place, and shrug off any overseas interest.

Big money, promise of first team action quicker than what he would get at Barca. I'm concerned he will leave

Mr. Japes
For the absolute jewels in the academy (Gerard, Rafinha, Samper, Grimaldo - 4 examples) I see no reason they'd leave. The club gives youth a chance (in comparison with early '00s) and the club is ultra-successful.
Some of the slightly less talented kids may move on - and have done. But there's little point in worrying imo.

Well, true, it does not keep me up at night but we will see. Hope Deulofeu does not have his head turned
