Gomes is a better midfielder than Paulinho.
la masia hipsters: "why play this chinese waste when we have potential xavi successor with Denis Suarez"
Denis isn't even La Masia and nobody is saying this, at all, anyways.
Replace Denis with some unproven la masia kid and there you go

I think a lot of Barca fans in general are obsessed with La Masia. Yes we have a great youth academy but that doesn't mean every player will play at a skill level required for top European clubs. Pep played Bartra a lot but he just isn't that good.
A lot of our youth players go on and become great players for mid table/top table la liga sides. Look at Montoya, Bartra, sergi Gomez, fontas, etc. all of them are excellent players but to expect them to be Barca class is insane.
Not everyone from our academy can be a Xavi or Pique. Those generations come very few times a lifetime.
Paulinho is a better player than Denis Suarez, that's not even debatable.
