Andre Gomes

[Jype 6,398]

Just signed for Barcelona. Can't say I saw that coming.

Media saying Barca paid €60M to Valencia for him.

[Artandur 939]

OFFICIAL: Barcelona have reached an agreement with Valencia for the signing of André Gomes.

Where did this come from ?

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

 Barca is having a great window.

[Pizy 18,413]

Was still holding out a slim hope we'd still be after him. Shame.

Yet another player who could be a featured starter at a big PL club but chooses the bench or squad player role at one of the two Spanish giants. What, will he ride the bench and rotate with Rakitic and Busquets? Lame.

[Diego 433]

"Man Utd want Gomes"

"Chelsea interested in Gomes"

"Madrid front of the queue for Gomes"

"Chelsea and Madrid have bids rejected"

"Juve eyeing Gomes as pogba replacement"

... Gomes signs for Barca...where did that come from?!

[The Chels 2,502]

A lesson in efficiency.

That's crazy, if true. They sell Halilovic for €5m and pay that for him. Doesn't seem like smart business (regardless of any clause). Turan all over again?

Its good business!

He'll have been bought to do want Arda was supposed to do (atleast in the short term) - replace Iniesta! hes, what, 31? I thought Pogba would have been the one but looks like they couldn't afford him and went for Gomes.

How much did Gomes go for??

There's nothing to say he won't follow the same fate. Giving Halilovic a chance to impress would have been a smarter more IMO. I guess they have money to burn like most of Europe.

Reminds me of Moussa Dembele.

apparently about 40 mil €

[The Chels 2,502]

 €35m + €25m in bonuses and sealed in 30 minutes, according to reports in Spain...

[DYC. 7,542]

I smell a flop.

All that cash for someone who won't start. 

You could probably form an XI composed of Barca & Madrid bench players that could compete for the title in the PL.

Agree. Gomes sees the pass, but can hardly complete it. Happy we avoided him, hope we do the same regarding Lukaku.

Interesting...

Ter Stegen/Bravo

Danilo - Varane - Umtiti - Digne/Coentrao

Roberto - Gomes

Turan - James - Isco

Morata

You could stick Jese up top but he's not a #9. Funny how both Real and Barca don't have a (genuine) back-up striker.

Edit: Forgot about the return of Morata.

Not a bad team.

Bullet dodged!

We got Kante anyway!
