Goodison for Gomes?

[TheRam]

Yeah, let's not do this.

This guy does less than Schneiderlin and he's already 25 so he's not going to grow much more.

25?

That’s a perfect age to sign a player.

[Tinga]

Barca fans seem to be absolutely made up they may have gotten rid of him, although maybe Barcelona cast offs would be amazing for us.

[Shogun]

You seen much of him though Kramer or is this opinion entirely coming from stats?

[Jimmywhack]

Looked boss at valencia

[loroloco]

this fella is absolutely poison.

[Toddacelli]

this fella is absolutely poison.

Dunno what you're saying here? Is that like 'sick'?

[BlueForYou]

Said with venom

Better than Del?

[loroloco]

it means he's fucking awful. i'm seriously worried about the type of player we're signing. bigger club's flops.

[Macca77]

Not the first player to fail at Barca, won't be the last. I know fuck all about him like, but he's a looker

[kramer0]

25?

That’s a perfect age to sign a player.

Yeah, that's a prime age... for a player who actually does stuff.

I'm skeptical that a player who hasn't shown much of anything in the years leading up to his prime is suddenly going to put it all together.

Stats.

Not much defensive output, not much creative output, not much scoring output. Has a nice passing percentage but the passing model (which accounts for the difficulty of each pass) doesn't rate him so he's probably not trying anything difficult. Looks like he was a decent dribbler at Valencia but who cares given the rest.

The eye test may well be the only thing he has going for him. In which case, it's probably deceptive because he does next to nothing you can measure.

and by the way, this bloke flopped spectacularly at barca. for those who don't know.

Are the stats based on his time at barca

How many of our current players would shine at Barcelona?

Nah, same at Valencia (but with more dribbles!).

See @Robioto 's post.

It’s the perfect age to sin a *good* player.

Not all players get better, but every player gets worse.
