I almost forgot about Samper.

Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to believe that Alena and Samper would have made far better strides than Gomes and Denis, who have set the bar exceptionally low.

Wow, yes that would be almost.. Barca-like to do that. But also very unrealistic with Enrique as leader. At least he could have bought some better players like Kanté or Gundogan who went for same or less than Gomes. Quite ridiculous actually..

The money spent on him and the hype from Mendes and the euros meant we were always going to try and force him into the starting 11.

Time and time again we've posted on here saying he's not Barca quality and never will be, he showed nothing in the 28 games before but because we were winning most because of MSN it was fine and "he has potential" according to the people defending him.

Well now you saw what he's about, what people have been seeing for the whole season. ZERO passes forward, lost possession, bad touches, shocking defending, poor finish on the only chance of the game (did anyone think he would finish that? I would have bet my house that he wouldn't score)

It's fine saying yes but everyone was bad... but they have played 100s of games for Barca where they are great. I've seen this guy do about 5 good things in the 29 games he's played for Barca. Never was, never will be good enough.

And to top that off we had Verratti on the other side, wow what a player, should have been a replacement for Xavi, showing everyone in the world what a Barca midfielder should look like.

Difficult to blame him after what Busquets said after the game about tactics and game preparation. I mean even Busquets looks lost for a while now. This is a coaching problem and not a players fault.

Could be hero if he score that one on one chance to make score one one, instead he failed and became most hated player.

It is, but put Gomes in our 2009 or 2011 team and he still wouldn't do much.

His game at Valencia was very different to how we play and it was a massive mistake signing him.

To think his attributes from Valencia would be good for our Barca team was wrong.

One of the worst signings at Barca in years, especially considering we've tried to fit him in the first 11.

Horrid game form Gomes, had he scored at that 1v1 with the keeper Barca might have avoided the hammering..

had me thinking he could be like a ballack type that the club has been longing for. failed to elabarote with the ball - played safe ball; was a mouse out there. shambolic from the 6 footer

Every time I watch him play I'm like: WTF?

Slow as a snail, technically poor, tactically inept (that's on LE though, Gomes looks like he doen't know what to do on the pitch), weak on headers, no physicailty at all. What exactly his positive attributes are, I'm yet to find out...

I dont know why wwe keep buying players from teams that doesnt play like us at all.
Buy Turan from an ultra defensive team, oposite how we play.
Buy Gomes from Valencia, which has been awfull for a couple of years.
Resign reject LaMasia player Denis that didnt show much in ManC, Barcelona B or Sevilla.

We should look for players in clubs that plays like us (or used to) like Dortmund, Sevilla etc.
Gundogan didnt cost half the amount of Gomes. Yes hes injured now but it still woulda been a better buy.
Was great in ManC before the injury and destroyed us in Manchester.
Dybala said before he went to Juventus he wanted to come here. We could have gotten the most talanted striker but instead bought Paco.
Kroos wanted to come here aswell.

I started watching the game on 2nd half.. My God, 2 seconds after the kickoff he couldn't control a simple pass and then as a result we conceded a free kick.. That was terrrible

I ask myself this question every single time he is on the field. Maybe he will excel under a new manager but honestly chances for that are 0,1%, he is simply just an average player who will never be good enough for Barca. Every now and then you see some moments where he shines but that lasts shorter than a blink of an eye. I will never understand why did we go for him.
