Confirmed Signing André Gomes

Seems like Barca have been trying to get rid of him for a couple of transfer windows but his reputation has fallen off a cliff. Like to think he can revive his career with us and Silva, he isn't the first player to fail after a big money move.

Although I like & try to be positive, just came across this which aside from being a bit of a boring read, doesn’t exactly give a great report on him

He was signed in the hope of slotting in for Iniesta but never settled or got near those standards.

Doesn't mean he's a bad player - just means he's not Iniesta and couldn't express his talents for Barcelona.

It'd be a fine signing on loan with an option to buy.

He went from playing a Barkley at Everton role with Valencia where his job was to skip past a few players and play a forward pass, to tiki taka.

He doesn't suit tiki-taka but we need a proper Barkley replacement so I can see the logic from all points of view
 

Didn’t set the world alight at Barca but was brilliant for Valencia and earned his big move. Anyone who’s Valencia’s best player is easily good enough for us.

Fits the bill for what we need. An intelligent, ball playing, strong on the ball, tall (6’2”) CM.
