He adds depth to our midfield that we surely need. He carries the ball well and has good strength but perhaps tries to hold onto it for a bit too long. I'd be confident that Poch could turn him into a top class CM.
He's also slow as fuck and the last thing we need is another midfielder who holds onto the ball too long. We need the opposite of that.

Toni Kroos is slow as fuck but moves the ball fast. Same as Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, etc. the ball always moves faster than your feet can.

Don't wanna go anywhere near him, nowhere near dynamic and energetic enough for me. Need to move the ball quicker in the middle and he is too ponderous.
Probably just agents talk to generate interest.

Obviously. That's why I noted that he is slow AND holds onto the ball too long...

It's not that he's not a good player - it's that we only have so many bullets to fire.

If we sign him, we're not signing someone else, and like I said, I think we can do better

Apart from Winks we don't have a ball playing CM. Although he's not a glamorous signing, this has the same feel to it as the Toby transfer in 2015 and I trust Poch's judgement if he really wants him.

Wait. Who exactly is he stopping us from signing?

Technically Gomes is brilliant he has a wonder left foot Alonso (ex pool) like with better players around him. If Poch wants him then i'm in.

Andre Gomes? Barca player on loan at Everton? He's very right footed.

He's better than what we already have? I wouldn't have him over Winks or Sissoko. And that's who he'd probably be competing with because he's sure as shit not a defensive midfielder. He's slow and lazy defensively, so as a DM I'd have a fully fit Dier over him every day of the week.

I wouldn't mind him as a squad player to play backup to Winks when he is injured or needs a rest, but that's it.

I'm guessing you're not going to be in agreement with this then bud.


[@SkyBet] understand Tottenham Hotspur have become the outright favourites to sign midfielder Andre Gomes from Barcelona.

Pochettino is now eager to bolster his midfield and Gomes’s footwork and calmness in tight situations is exceptional, similar to Moussa Dembele.

If Pochettino wants him then I'll absolutely bow to his (much) superior judgement, and I'll support him from the minute he pulls on the shirt.
