I genuinely believe that this lad is going to be very good, if not brilliant, for us.

A shrewd signing one might say upon analysing it in the coming months.

I agree. He will be our new Arteta.

From what I can gather he had a difficult period at Barca after getting off to a good start, six months into his move from Valencia. He then showed strong character to put in some fine performances after publicly admitting that it was like hell to play football.

He seems to be a huge upgrade on Schneiderlin which can only be a good thing. More pace, aggression, skill, ability to play a forward pass.
 
Watched a couple of youtube videos and he looks like he has pace. For some reason I thought he was slow. Looks like he has quick feet and can spot a pass.

The video was from his Valencia days though.
 

Barcelona paid €35 million euro's with a further €20 million in add ons for him back in 2016 so he must have something about him.

i think thats part of the problem the barca way has restricted him IMO and his head went

get him like his valencia days he will be a excellent signing
 
You know the song Go West that a huge chunk of football chants are sung to ( "Duncan, Duncan Ferguson" as an example)

Gomes, played in catalan
Gomes, now hes a toffeman
Gomes.......
(cant think of anymore)

I'll get my coat
 

I was a bit apprehensive about this signing yesterday with him being injured etc but after looking a bit deeper into him i have changed my mind. Quality player and it is worth waiting a few weeks for him get fit to see him playing in a blue shirt. Delighted with it now.

After he came out about his anxiety he didn't really do anything different....he just got more support from the crowd. He unfortunately didn't turn in fine performances.

His good start was just some promising moments in the opening games. He then went between OK, average, below average and terrible for the rest of his time here. Based on last two years I'd only say he is a possible upgrade on the lazy Schneiderlin. Huge upgrade? Very unlikely.

A lot of wishful thinking in this thread! Everton knows just what to do with that.
