Think I have just watched the same video! Says a lot about Zinchenko that he is included on that list when he's "not a left back".So was about to watch a Sergio highlight reel. And in the beginning the guy normally lists 3 players who the player is similar to: for Gomez it was
Borna Sosa, Zinchencko and Raum. Just right there, I know I already like him.
Sosa's crossing, Zin's possession and Taums speed.
Anyway, let me continue my dreaming :)
LMFAOAnd of course, Eric Garcia, who is now Barcelona's Vincent Kompany.
But I have to agree with Maly. How is that embarrassing? Just asking.I’m thinking more of the Aaron Mooy, Marlos Moreno, Anthony Caceres, Luke Brattan, Max Diskerud and Jack Harrison type of ‘Manchester City’ player.
Made very good money off those names. And there is a difference between CFG and Manchester City. Not embarrsing at all.I’m thinking more of the Aaron Mooy, Marlos Moreno, Anthony Caceres, Luke Brattan, Max Diskerud and Jack Harrison type of ‘Manchester City’ player.
Exactly and the lad will only improve under pep and playing with elite level teammatesExciting news.
We don't know what level he's at yet, but we play enough games in a season where we completely dominate the opposition that a LB who can't defend isn't going to be an issue and you look at all the assist clips from the past 2 years and there's a little bit of magic in his delivery that could be really special.
sergio is a converted 10 like zinchenko, vincent emulating pep.Think I have just watched the same video! Says a lot about Zinchenko that he is included on that list when he's "not a left back".
Wish Gomez every success at City - hopefully he is that good we don't need to go shopping for another left back any time soon.
I think in fairness, Gomez himself didn't start out as a Leftback. As a lot of the plays on the highlight reel showed him at Right mid. Also his crossfield passes were reminiscent of what Zinny does at the national team level.Think I have just watched the same video!

And all for a fraction of Cucurella's feeOh! Y'all remember the U-17 where Our Foden ran the show and won best player?
Yeah, Sergio Gomez was 2nd best in that tourney.
So we got the 1 and 2. Let's go!!!!!!
Scored twice in the final.Oh! Y'all remember the U-17 where Our Foden ran the show and won best player?

More than happy to give him a chance. All I’m saying is I don’t see him being a preferred first choice signing. I hope he turns out to be world class.What I don't get is, it was only last week several fans were lamenting why Brighton can unearth a €15m Cucurella, where 12 months later 2 PL giants were battling for his signature by lodging £40m & £62m bids, but City can never seemingly unearth these gems?
Now we're reportedly signing a very promising LB for €15m plus add-ons, with a sell on clause, but we're only doing it to develop the player to sell for a profit?
Why can't City be doing a Brighton here & only be looking to sell on if Gomez doesn't make the grade? Are players only worthy of a longterm future at City if they cost north of £50m? :-/
I'd never heard of Gomez previously, let alone seen him play a match, but from the "Best of" YouTube highlight reels I've seen, the kid looks promising.
He's played right back, left back, right midfield, left midfield, as a No 8 & on both left & right wings. He's evidently a creative attacking player who can defend too, VERY similar to one Marcelo!
Give the player a chance to prove himself mate... \0/
Considering we have Cancelo already on our books it is a realistic signing. Lodi would of been a more convincing signing at £50m+ than Cucurella but he isn't a perfect full back no matter how you stretch it.More than happy to give him a chance. All I’m saying is I don’t see him being a preferred first choice signing. I hope he turns out to be world class.
My point is part of the city group model is to improve players & sell on.
If we buy Rhian Brewster we'll have all 3 medal winners, hooray!!!Oh! Y'all remember the U-17 where Our Foden ran the show and won best player?

I'll get on the Campaign pronto!!!If we buy Rhian Brewster we'll have all 3 medal winners, hooray!!!
In his press conference, Pep confirmed Gomez was being signed as a first team player & not a CFG loanee, & as it currently stands would share left back duties with Cancelo & JWE.More than happy to give him a chance. All I’m saying is I don’t see him being a preferred first choice signing. I hope he turns out to be world class.
