5 transferred players who are likely to struggle at their new club

#4 Gerard Deulofeu – Barcelona

Gerard Deulofeu

Barcelona watched their former youth graduate shine all too briefly at Everton, have his moments again with AC Milan and thought that would be enough to bring Gerard Deuloufeu home.

Were they watching with their eyes closed?

The Spaniard also failed to impress in his captain's role at the Under-21 European Championships, endlessly running into blind alleys and hindering his side as they finished runners up. A number of players, including Real Madrid’s Marco Asensio, were vastly more impressive but the Catalan giants clearly wanted to do things on the cheap.

He won’t start, he could be even further down the pecking order should another transfer come in and he’s not impressed enough to be deserving of such a move. It smells of other cheap, poor moves that Barca have done in the last 18 months of them boosting their bench with average, unproven players that could hinder them again.
