I know players arent as a good as edited videos make out half the time but you have to admit that Zidane Drag back is pretty nice.
 
I've watched him a lot at Barca, hes a very technically gifted player but just doesn't get involved enough. He has a great passing range but has zero aggression. That said, id take him on loan with view to buy in a heartbeat.
 
What are we saying then Zatmonster, is he good?

I don't know anything about him

Same height and physique as Schneiderlin.

Same profile at Valencia as Schneiderlin had at Southampton ( 2 levels above any teammates)

Made the big move and has been a total flop

At Valencia he was very good at keeping hold of the ball running forward and laying it off ticking things over...good solid passer and he used his body well to win the ball instead of flying into tackles.

Similar expectations with gomes more attacking and schneiderlin defensive. Both 'intelligent' players...

Obviously now weve had schneiderlin a season it concerns me...i would be ok for a loan but its a roll of the dice if he can make it in the league as he seems mentally weak -- think Barkley asking jags who theyre booing...

Made a statement last season i think saying he was depressed...barca fans cut him some slack then...
 

Comparing him to Morgan Schneiderlin is a complete joke. He's so much better with the ball it's not even funny. Morgan is a pure no. 6 and cannot play any position other than that one - and not well mind you, too slow, too limited athletically. Gana can very well.

Morgan cannot play as a no. 8. No chance. He can't carry the ball, he can't hold the ball, he won't go forward with it to begin with, and Gomes can for certain. His first touch is excellent, his passing is good, he's a perfect complement offensively to Gana and Sigurdsson. The question is whether or not he can disrupt play and help out in his own zone. I think he can. He may not go to ground on the tackle, but he can overpower folks and take the ball.

Totally agree if any comparison can be made i would say compare him to Dembele from Tottenham from what i have seen.

I assume your commenting on my comparison?

Both massively rated at their clubs and in the league.

Big moves...both flopped

Both seem mentally weak and unable to show any drive after their moves

1 is defensive, 1 is more attacking

They wont bust a gut and are not warriors for the team despite looking like they can put a boot in

Lets not exaggerate, hes gone from Hero to Zero at Barca...loan to buy with a clause yes...not just a purchase...its risky especially with his injuries
 
Surely we cannot go into a domestic only season with this guy, Besic, Davies, Gueye, Schneiderlin, McCarthy... Literally only this guy and Gueye are any good, the others are pure dung. We need to trim the squad. So if this Gomes comes in, we should be selling at least two of the others.

That leaves us with 4 CMs, with 2 of them injured.

Not a great plan.

Sigurdsson can drop back, Baningime is at least as good as Schneiderlin and Davies. We can easily part with McCarthy, Schneiderlin and Besic imo. Not that we will, but we could.
