A tough one with a squad that's still decimated, I'd like to be a bit more optimistic, but...

Didn't get to watch the game, but I am very pleased with the result. The Deulofeu move is starting to look like a masterstroke. The guy can flat out run, and he is quite composed which is nice. However, in the same turn, Niang has started to play well in England which makes sending him away look like a bad move. I feel like we put so much into him for years and he is another year or two from making a breakthrough, but I think the team he is playing for now is going to buy him out.

I have also read somewhere that Barca is keen to bring back Deulofeu which is another shame. He is going to have a strong six months with us and be gone. For me Bacca can go, he is undoubtedly a great finisher, but this team needs more from the player in that position. We are a team based on everyone being able to do everything, and he is just too one dimensional to take us to the next level in this system. Montella for me has definitely earned the shot to get some money and build a real team and challenge for something. At this point, he has limited starters and is still getting the team to perform.
