Joao Gomes

[Brazilian Villain]

Gomes is nicknamed "Pitbull"

I thought that was Saka's nickname, as he spends so much time on the floor.

[enigma]

Hadn't Atletico agreed a fee for him? Have we gazumped them or was that someone else?

[Smithy]

I have to admit to knowing very little about him, apart from cursing him when he scored against us.  I couldn't even tell you what sort of midfielder he's supposed to be?  Is he a potential partner for Kamara at the base of midfield? Or someone to play further forward in Youri's role?  Or could he be a more defensive-minded left/right sided midfielder like McGinn?  Maybe he can do all of the above?

I'm always happy to see technically competent midfielders join our ranks, and his age is a bonus.  If we add him and Manazambi, that'll do wonders for the age profile of our side, but I'm not sure it makes our first team "stronger" to add those two while losing Youri and Onana? (only because I don't know the new two as well as Youri and Onana, that's not a judgement on their replacements, it's a question)

I think he can do all of the above, but looking at the stats he's a better destroyer and ball carrier than line-breaking passer.  Good on the ball and retaining possession though.

Well this is rather good. He’s a superb player. Great engine. Mind the Gap tramps.

This was a nice surprise after being without internet all day. Just had a text from my dad, (Wolves fan).

He’s brilliant. He was a superb player for Wolves. I’m really pleased about this signing.

[Toronto Villa]

So we have gone from the high of Manzambi, to the low of Tielemans/Digne to the high of Gomez/Paulinha all in the space of about 7 days.

Of I forgot the incredible low of Dobbin.

Well she does have a song called Wolves

My Wolves mate reckons we’ve got a bargain.

[Dogtanian]

I think this is a great signing.

I'm the same, but I know very little about most other teams players, even some in the current England squad. Watching Gomes showreel on Youtube, I could be wrong, but I'm guessing he is the Youri replacement. He looks like an excellent tackler/breaks up play, like Kamara, can run with it barging players off, has an eye for a killer forward pass, and occasionally scores. He's definitely more forward thinking than Kamara.

Mine too

[Dogtanian]

Just imagine how good he's going to look once Emery has worked his magic with him.

[Hookeysmith]

Youri (spit) was meant to be on a huge wage for us (Not the reputed £200K per week with them scummers) so reduced the age and the wage - i like it

The show reel looks fabulous
