Please give him a chance over Pedro/Alexis.

Or we can just get rid of Villa and Sanchez
We're going to sell Villa regardless because there's NO WAY he enjoys coming of the bench behind two wingers who couldn't score a goal to save their lives, whether it's better for the team or not.

Which would be another example of his exponential growth in the last few years. I clearly remember a couple years back he was much more adept to RW, when he was more of just a speedy, dribbling winger. All of a sudden he consistently has some of the sexiest finishes, game to game, national team or Barca B. This paired with the fact he now actually uses his runs with the ball to find openings for teammates with much more consistency.

There is an infatuation with young talent getting first team opportunities but I think we all remember Bojan and what happened with him when he was promoted too soon. Replacing either Alexis or Pedro with Deulofeu or Neymar would be rash in my opinion. Pedro is 25 and Alexis just turned 24, neither have reached their full potential yet.
We have the world's best player at the moment and to change his supporting cast and the chemistry around him at the moment would not be prudent. Also Neymar and Deulo might not thrive in a system where they have to play second fiddle to Messi. When we have youngsters coming through La Masia on a yearly basis why look elsewhere to spend silly money on other players?

I'm guessing maybe 3 people that posted in the past few pages watched a full match with Deulofeu playing lol.
Remember Bojan?
Relax people, he has enough time to join the team in 2-3 years.
If he was that good we would have forced himself in the first team like Messi.
He has the potential to be great, but we MUST give him enough time to grow.

Yes. Played half a season in the third division and got relegated to the fourth division with Barca B before he was promoted to the first team prematurily without Pep's seal of approval. Luckily 0 similarities with Deulofeu.

There is absolutely no reason why Deulofeu shouldn't get some sub appearances throughout the season and even some starts at the end of the season given the poor form of Alexis/Pedro and the loaning of Cuenca.

Villa is going no where.

Please don't mention the B word in the same sentance as Deulofeu. I really don't want him to be a bust like Boygirl.

I hope he doesn't go anywhere but even he has to hate being benched this much.

i said POSSIBLY. I hope it isn't true as i love Villa but we have to consider the possibility. I'd rather have him stay though.
