We could have just kept Motta. Very similar players.

Aside from both being midfielders and rather tall, I really don't see any similarities. If anything, hid playstyle reminds me more of Gerard Lopez. Hopefully Gomes will live up to his hype, unlike the Spaniard.

Gomes: "I don't care if I'll play on the left or on the right. We'll see how the adaptation goes."

Gomes: "My dad got very emotional when he found out that Barça wanted me, he didn't know it would happen."

Gomes: "The BDO clause? That's for later, not for now. Today I have to enjoy my transfer and I can't wait to start working."

Gomes:"Barça over Madrid?Because of my personality I liked Barça more, it fit better with my philosophy, my way of playing and personality."

I watched the conference, and I could've sworn that, when he was asked who was best between the two, he answered that it was an easy question and we all know the answer to that, or at least something along those lines. It's weird that's not included. The again, perhaps my ears deceived me.

Anyone else who saw the transmission?

The guy seems so humble :wub:, he clearly choose the right club.

"The BDO can't be an obsession because you have players like Iniesta, who everyone enjoys, that never won it." Also a great quote.
