Just out of interest, is Mendes his agent? The link to Wolves aswell might suggest that - is Mendes not on a shit list of agents Spurs won't deal with?

There does seem to be a revolutionary process going on with our midfield now and it looks like we want a variation of options. - Herc kinda mentioned this with his formation ITK.

I'm not totally against this signing as I do think against the bus parkers we do need a deep lying playmaker rather than someone who can run with the ball alongside a DM. It may be better to have a combative midfielder alongside a deep lying playmaker with Eriksen further forward. So the links are making sense ------- Barrios >>>Gomes>>>Eriksen.
We've been told that we have to get creative with some of our signings so if a Martial is going to cost 50+ and De Ligt being expensive too, then I can see a couple of midfielders coming in for lower fees.

Of course the concern is whether or not Gomes can return to the player with early promise and develop into the player Barca had hoped he would. But if he can then it would be great for us. Technically he is fantastic and it makes sense that we are monitoring him.

LOL I said this window was looking all too familiar. Gomes...jesus christ.

Hard to not compare our dealings with Liverpools when we are direct competitors.

I'm not sure he's what we need person


He's more a deep lying CM from what I have seen. Looked great pre Barca but hasn't kicked on at all since moving there. He spreads the ball wide very well, but I'm not sure he is direct enough with his passing. I was told pre window 2 CM's if Dembele left, which looks increasingly likely now. As second one of the two I think I could get on board with it. As the main/only incoming CM I would be disappointed.

He is an option though that we have been looking at for a long time.
Grealish would be a better CM option than him to be completely honest. Not picking on you Trix but Gomes is a player who dramatically outperformed for about a year on and got his big transfer and then flopped as most expected him too. He would replace Sissoko (assuming praying, Sissoko leaves) and while different would at best offer the same or just sliiiightly better output than him.

Lots of involvement re Gomez. I can accept Grealish, but not this guy personally. As Trix said, he is an option, and I would add, an active one. I am now praying Barrios goes through.

I don't believe Grealish coming will depend on Gomes in anyway but I really hope we stay clear of Gomes. Barrios I don't know anything about

Poch could work wonders with him, no?

Get his head right and he is a player.

An interview I read of his showed he is clearly a highly sensitive person, in a low at Barca.

If Poch is sure he can get him believing and fully at it, we could sign a player worth twice his cost, if he fails though we'll be lucky to get half what we pay back...

I'm in if Poch is.

I’ve started playing FM again so now feel qualified to comment here. Gomes is a highly technical, deep lying playmaker, with an excellent passing range and 17 flair.

Sign him up.

Flax 2 tbsp+ daily (gradually moving up to 5tbsp, ideally blended with quark, or in green smoothie), 6-8 weeks the pain of sensitivity should start subsiding (or start becoming tolerable), if our team think they got this...

Bring his (emotional) inflammatory response velocity down, as N3 starts to come back into better balance with N6.

(haters gone hate) :)
