arda only scored some bunch of tapins because he played as a winger in neymar's absence,
gomes even tho he's not barca level, he was a scapegoat a lot of times for barca losses, while the whole team was bad in those games (talking about juve away, psg away, malaga away). at least gomes is trainning hard despite the critism he's getting everyday by barca fans on his social medias. anyone could've got affected by that mentally. I thought his missed chances in the last elclassico and how many shits he tooks would've totally destroyed him, but he played well in the last game and that says lot.
the difference between the two is gomes can still be sold for 35m+, while arda on the other hand nobody want him... I bet the club only want to get raid of his salary and his spot in the team.
