That doesn't have a damn thing to do with what you said, though.

You say he has "Excellent" physical qualities. What qualities are you speaking about, exactly? His speed? He's the slowest player on the team, he's somehow even slower than Busquets. His strength on the ball? Don't make me laugh, when he has the ball and someone else wants it, that someone else usually gets it. His tackling? I don't think so, he's almost never able to execute a tackle for us. So tell me... what are these "Excellent" physical qualities you're talking about? How is it possible for someone to overlook these facts and pretend they're not true just because Madrid and Barca wanted him?

Now, onto his "Excellent" technical abilities, I once again have to ask... where? His passing range is probably only second to Arda in terms of how bad it is, he crumbles the moment he's put under any sort of real pressure, his positioning is weak and he often gets bypassed by his team because of it, and he doesn't have any dribbling skills to speak of, so tell me... what are these "Excellent" technical qualities you're talking about? How is it possible for someone to overlook these facts and pretend they're not true just because Madrid and Barca wanted him?
agree with everything you said
he looks to me like he is very nervous when he's on the pitch,if he'd relaxed a bit i guess he could show some of his qualities but so far he doesn't deserve to be the part of the team

Cannot stand him, just cant. We started to bench this fuck (along with Arda) and suddenly we are winning. The guy looks like Pau Gasol out there!

Of course it does. If you think being a gifted player doesn't have anything to do with having excellent technical and physical qualities, you're not making any sense.

Slower than Busquets? :lol:

So you're not only denying that he's a powerful player, but somehow think he's slower than Busquets. I'm sorry, I'm not going to take your opinion seriously.

Positioning is tactical, crumbling is more psychological than anything else. As for dribbling skills... does that mean that Xavi was technically mediocre? Or Modric? Yeah, sure. By the way, not that it's a key quality for a midfielder, but he's not bad at all at that, but of course he is no Iniesta. He is good with both feet and has much better ball control than Rakitic, for example. For a guy this tall, he has great composure and the ability to play in tight spaces, although he excels whenever he finds space (because he is somehow slower than Busquets in a parallel universe). The problem is, he is inconsistent. He shows moments of brilliance but he's been unable to put his shit together so far. His decision making needs improvement if he wants to be important here, same with his attitude, but that doesn't have anything to do with his inherent physical and technical qualities to play the game.

And, again, why where Madrid and Barça after him last summer? Because... :rolleyes:

Best midfielder around
This guy, man. If I was more of a conspiracist I would genuinely start thinking that he is a Madridista undercover.

Gomes wouldn't even get into Everton or West Brom's starting XI, so how the fuck does he get into Barca's?

Why were Barca and Madrid after fucking Danilo and it turned out he sucked ass? He is powerful? He can fuck of to Everton or Porsthmouth or whatever the fuck they need "power", we dont. We need agile, tecnical and fast thinking players, nut NBA center forward.

In the future football historians will scratch their heads over how such a guy lacking any footballing talent ended up at the best club in the world.
