This cannot be true surely. We are in need of a CM and whether people rate Gomes or not it is a position we’re crying out for. I’m going to assume it’s false because this would make the club look incredibly stupid leaving it this late again.

This feels a bit like Levy and Poch went to have a coffee this morning and were busy congratulating each other on getting Moura signed when suddenly Poch turns to Levy and says, "I feel like we're forgetting something...something else we were supposed to get in this window...maybe a midfi...nope...it's gone. Can't have been important."

And then 3 hours later....

"OH SHIT! QUICK......CALL AROUND AND SEE IF ANYONE'S AVAILABLE THAT CAN PASS THE FUCKING BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

So to sum up...a bit daft.

And then Levy says "chill out, it's only 10.30pm."

I'd say it's pretty typical with how we do things during the transfer windows

Tactically we must think last second transfers work in our favour

It's all perception though.

It's very unlikely today would have been the first day we would have made contact, and if true Barca may have given encouragement depending on their own business.

There's also probably a very short list of midfielders Poch would like to get, who surely won't be available in Jan.

No point clogging the wage bill up with Stamboulis we then have to shift.

Absolute nonsense.

Really? Enlighten me. What does he do well apart from pass sideways? He doesn't score, he doesn't assist, he doesn't tackle but he still commits lots of fouls. He was voted the worst signing of the season by the readers of Marca. What am I missing? :confused:

So was Luka Modric

I haven't the time or the energy to try and convince you that he's a good player. What would be the point? I just don't agree in any way, shape or form.

I know a good player when I see one and I believe Barcelona do as well which is why they signed him from Valencia in the first place. At that point he was one of the highest rated CM's in world football.

I can see his qualities. If you can't then that's on you.

This won't happen. Onions:

1. Because of his agent.
2. Barcelona are apparently a pain to deal with.

I've watched him for club and country and he has always been mediocre at best. You haven't pointed out a single quality that makes you think he is a good player but just asserted that he is. What do you see that I clearly don't?

There's no point in me trying to say to you what I've seen that I like, you won't agree cos you've "watched him for club and country" and already made your mind up. That's fine, I just think that you calling him "utter shit" is nonsense.

Maybe you just don't like the type of player he is and that's fair enough. A lot of our fanbase are split on our own players, let alone another team's players.

Dude, i'm not asking you to convince me. I'm asking what you see in him. This is a forum and this is the Andre Gomes player thread so presumably you are posting here for a reason? :unsure:

I'm more than capable of changing my mind when people make good points and provide evidence so your claim that "my mind is made up" is just another baseless assertion. I am actually curious as to what you think his good qualities are. I'm not looking for an argument.
