Andre Gomes

[Ghost Hardware]

What you are missing is Barca was panic buying coming out of their TW sanction. Many players have since come out and complained about the leadership purchasing poorly in and around this time. This is partly why they were held to ransom by Mendes for that high fee. They then went back in for Alcacer and were bent over again by Mendes who was upping his Monaco Gambit with Valencia at the time.

I am not against Gomes as he is a competent MF. His recent troubles and representation by Gestifute are causes for concern. I follow Valencia in La Liga and have done since early Emery. I dispute these glowing/excellent reviews of Gomes' time there. He was a promising player of which they have had many during that time. When he went to Barca he was nothing more than what would have been a decent Spurs' transfer. Mendes had his hooks in Valencia at the time and engineered his Valencia loan, then decent-money Valencia purchase (did money actually change hands? Valencia was very broke at the time), and subsequent big-money Barca xfer like he did with many a player after their Euro exploits. And like Gomes all have under-performed at their new clubs.

As I said I am not against this as Poch may be able to put an arm around him and he could be very useful. He is talented beyond anything we have in MF currently. I just his history being revised beyond what it actually was. He was a promising young player that hasn't made the step up. We should move forward with caution as it would bring Mendes under our tent. If Gomes performs well he will be pushing for a move next year.

For me this is spot on, good post sir.

Sorry for the derailing of the thread all.

Probably best to bring it back on to the topic of Gomes.

My bad!

So for the millionth time a spurs target is getting linked with juve ? but the article states he's available only for 22m.Explains why we're after him .

 

[fatpiranha]

Of all the players we have been linked with this window I find the prospect of Andre Gomes the most depressing. This is only because i've watched him many times and I always end up asking "What is he for?" .

I just don't get it. He doesn't score, assist or tackle and the vast majority of his passes go backwards or sideways. He's the sort of player who makes me throw things at the TV . Can somebody (preferably someone who has actually watched him) enlighten me as to why we would even be interested?

My only guess is that we needed a Cm who can actually pass the ball and doesn't cost more than 30m.Think we're taking a risk on him due to his low price and hoping he gets back to his Valencia form.

One thing I find interesting is that he never dribbles past players or is nowhere near physically strong as dembele.Maybe poch plans to use Wanyama/Dier as the muscle and Gomes/winks for the build up.

I spoke to Poch today and he said he was buying him just to wind you up Daniel said he might buy Zaha just to do the same thing to BC

He simply isn't made for the EPL. He lacks the pace, physicality, and technical ability for a CM in the EPL. You can get away with missing one or two of those skill, if you posses one of them at a world class level, which he doesn't.

You will also have a player that needs to first get accustomed to the EPL more importantly get his confidence back and that is questionable if he can even do that with pressure on him to perform from the go and replace one of the fan favorites.

He will be set up for failure if we end up signing him.

Surely this is a windup? There are a number of players in our Starting XI that lack at least 2 of these...and their third ain't at WC (whatever that means) level. He is a footballer and we need more of those. Whether he is one of them Poch will determine.
