Andre Gomes (Valencia)

[birchwoodgingerste]

City are interested in bringing him in as a raplacement for nasri he moved from benefica and is similar to Isco but can play left side or right and attacking mid but taller and has a tad more speed real classy player hope this is true

I thought instead of Isco we were getting Ocknroll?

Personally would prefer Lassical.

 

[City_Sean]

He's a superb player, has so much technical ability and would suit Pep down to the ground.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

I agree with the comments......This would be a first class signing....still concerned about LB/RB positions but this guy would make us better and would give us system flexibility as he can play a number of positions....

Lovely player, a real technician with really clean ball striking. Valencia have been using him as an attacking midfielder, but at Benfica he was used more as a Carrick type deep playmaker(with an ability to actually control the ball and deal with pressing). Not sure I'd agree that he has more pace than Isco, I don't think he's particularly quick at all, he's just big and powerful so he's difficult to catch once he gets going. I'd see him as far more of a Yaya replacement than an Isco alternative, but he could play either way.

He is a good player in a good age but he can't help as in Champions League (he has already play with Valencia). So I think it is difficult to make a move for him in January,
Also I don't think that he plays on the left or on the right but only in the center as a classic box-to-box player

Does this mean we're not getting Pogba or is this a possible replacement for Fernando ? Do we honestly think the Chuckle Bros. would sanction a move in January ?

What about a swap Gomes for Mangala and then we buy Stones? Stones takes Mangala's spot in the Champions League squad, Gomes is ineligible anyway and Kelechi takes Nasri's spot, everyone's a winner.

Portuguese midfielder playing for Valencia, linked to us by some spurious website, is he any good?

Decent on FIFA, got to 87 in my career mode.

That's good enough for me.

He was fantastic for Valencia last season, two footed, an eye for goal, as well as an excellent passing range. Struggled this season but has all the attributes to become a top class CM.

Nice idea

 

[blue ranger]

Only one problem - do you genuinely think Gary Neville would take Mangala?

I did check, I think the problem is that it hadn't been posted on for 2 weeks, hence it didn't appear on page 1 of the threads. Mods please feel free to delete or merge

Weren't they in for him probably why he got the boot.

Not sure Everton fans would agree with that ;-)
