Confirmed Signing André Gomes

[Berenger]

Not massively sold on this one. Second-hand impression through analytics people I follow on Twitter was that he was underwhelming at Valencia, the £35m sale was surprising, and he's done nothing since at Barca to indicate any differently.

Zero aggression -- SPOT ON!!

Same as schneiderlin.

Zero aggression = Not suited to Premier League

 

[TheBigIguana]

A loan would be fine. The worst that happens is he never plays again after 5 games and he is Barca's problem again. Call it doing a Mirallas

 

[Ameen]

Swerve him, I was surprised he even got the move to Barca as he was not outstanding the previous year at Valencia.

He is good with his feet although not very quick and lacks a presence. Not what we need in our midfield going forward.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Wow, he's like if Iniesta had a lovechild with Darron Gibson.

Does that mean he'll get hammered and drive, but really accurately?

 

[Kenshin]

Is he going to be this year's Fernando/berhimi/ofoe/negredo that is linked and ran with but was never coming here?

Not a real person but this fella is:

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Would have much rathered Nzonzi or Ndiaye, but I can live with him on loan. He very well could be a great fit next to Gana, but please don’t ever pair him with Morgan.

Who is he ?

Ndiaye (stoke championship) over Gomes (Barca) .... no just noooooo, there is a reason they both play for their respective teams.

Can it mate. Two different leagues, two different types of players.

Don’t see the point in getting in a player that you can’t use for at least a month cos he’s crocked. We need players that can hit the ground running especially as we’ve got or are getting them in so late

Do we?

I mean if our current squad cant beat Wolves, Saints, Bournemouth and Uddersfield, well we should prolly not even bother submitting a squad, yano?

With out different types of players, but Gomes is at another level. Both player's could play in both leagues, but the difference is Ndiaye wouldnt get near a Barca or Valencia squad.
