Tello: "I am flattered by the interest of Liverpool, Liverpool is the only club to leave Barcelona for"

Not sure if its completely true he said those words butjust seen this on a page on facebook which has 75k subscribers so i wouldnt imagine it is and their going to post the source shortly, but would he be a good signing? He's only 20 and hasn't of yet proved himself at Barca, that said he's a very exciting player if this is even 50% true id be a bit more optimistic about the direction we are going.

Thoughts?

Who?

He is not bad but then again everyone looks like a million bucks playing alongside Messi who not only scores 70 goals a season but has 25-30 assists.

he would add depth but thats it. I watch alot of him but i dont think he is going to add anything special. he wont take the premiership by storm cause although he is quick he is going to get pushed off the ball very easily.

Agreed he's small enough to teams like Stoke, Fulham etc. will have a hay day against him i'd still take him though im a bit sceptical about it now though as the page isn't publishing its source and why would he leave Barca? Why would anyone leave Barca? Hopefully Dunk was accurate about Gaston Ramirez and we will hear something on that front by Monday.

I don't get this too small for the EPL lark. Silva is doing ok and Messi isn't big but do you think he would struggle against Stoke etc?

Anyway, couldn't see this coming off. From what I've seen he looks pretty good but as others have said, would he leave Barca?

Considering he is a fringe player there then yes he would leave for more minutes on the pitch. Haven't seen him play at all tho so not sure about him or where he plays.

He came on for his Champions League debut last season and got a couple. It was against Levercusen when they smashed them. Think he got a few in the league too.

Oh now I remember, I actually seen him a few times. I was thinking the other lad Cuenka that I haven't seen. Tello played on the left for Barca so I guess he would suit our new style as a back up tho not first teamer.

Whilst there are some positions where height is important I wouldn't be so worried about it for wide players as long as they have the pace to beat the full back - a low center of gravity can help with ball control with many of the most creative players being short.
Borini isn't particularly tall and Allen is the same height as Spearing so it wouldn't worry me if we did get a few more players of lesser physical stature in over the next few years - as long as they are giants in other ways such as speed, passing ability and ball control.
As for Tello he has the right grounding coming from Barcelona to thrive under BR, not sure if they would let him go though (unless the new manager doesn't rate him) - according to wikipedia he made 15 appearances last year which as a youngster in that squad means he is highly thought of. Wouldn't mind us signing one of his team mates either though - Gerard Deulofeu looks a great prospect.

he's okay, potential there. shockingly fast, but he very rarely picks his head up. i wouldn't sign him unless it's for a very nominal fee, and i'd only take the risk on him because of the education he's had at barca.
