Looks good to me - maybe not the dazzling attacker we all want but together with Barkley, he'd do.
PS. My first ever post - hi everyone!
How sure? I follow Valencia and was never over-awed by this guy. He is another over-hyped Mendes client where clubs pay through nose thinking they've got the next big thing, like sanches (good), mario (kinda crap). Outside of ronaldo can only think of Moutinho and Silva who matched the hype. That said Gomes is a decent all around footballer and a more complete midfielder than any we have. He was just never worth the money nor the quality barca needed.Are the people against this signing saying this because of his spell at Barca? Pretty sure he was great at Valencia. Loads of players have failed at the superclubs but do very well elsewhere.
Poor player. Would rather use any of the options we have over him.
You appear to have knowledge. Number 10 or deeper or both?He's not a poor player at all. I'm guessing you've never watched him playing for Valencia. He was excellent for them.
Hasn't happened at Barca yet for him but that doesn't render him a poor player

I have. And I've seen him playing poorly for Portugal at the Euros and being one of the worst players at the Confederations Cup this summer too.He's not a poor player at all. I'm guessing you've never watched him playing for Valencia. He was excellent for them.

So Barkley alternative he isn't.Deep lying playmaker, think the pace of the league would be too much for him.
There were reports over the summer that Poch saw Barkley in the Dembele role.So Barkley alternative he isn't.

Relatively poor then. As in not good enough for us, but good enough for the West Brom's of the world.In the main he was very good for Valencia, a poor player he is not - in the grand scheme of things.

agree, defo a concern along with the Mendes issue. Mendes is probably playing nice as his rep is tarnished now in France, Spain and Portugal. Only Wolves were desparate enough along with the new ownership stuff. DL would wonder if the player would be force to move in a year to get another big transfer.He's pretty average. Would struggle with the pace of the game over here, also.
My opinion.
