then you lose.

I said they wouldn't take a second look, implying they might look at it once. But that's it, it takes no part in a decision. nope, I think that's a dellusion. If you give importance to the numbers in the decision process, you are only taking a risk of hiring the wrong guy. You look at the...

which are exactly the kind of things that may distinguish between a good midfielder and a truly world-class one, between a good midfielder and a truly decisive player. I hardly believe any professional would even take a second look to these kind of statistics/websites when scouting/picking a...

I just saw a video of him, you should just give him what he wants.. don't let an english club get to him or it will be a waste of a very good player

I'm not a big fan of statistics sites, I tend to think they tend to be biased towards age of the players and form of the team, among other things, probably. And I'm pretty sure real-life managers don't use them to "select" their players. Maybe if you're playing football manager or something of...

I don't know, I think if they get a superior offer they'll go for more money, obviously. I think they are trying to establish themselves as a seller club and it all depends on their willingness to wait and expectations of future added value of the player. As things go they would make 100%...

I don't deny the inflation trend, but the player's value right now is more or less what I said. That said, obviously if some english club offers more, Valencia wouldn't be stupid. sanches was sold for 35m, not 65 and that's more or less also his value. I would say otamendi, as a top central...

Those figures don't look like to be based in reality, they look more like coming from tabloid speculation where they just make the numbers up. Gomes is worth more like 30-35m

hehe, I've been scrolling through the threads and from what I understand there's a discussion over who to bring to Juve, this guy or the Bosnian, with the posters, as expected, having a personal preference. The ones that like Pjanic go to the Gomes thread trash talk about Gomes and vice-versa...

I don't know, I think all good players are distinctive. He's a creative center midfielder, organises game, good at driving the ball with speed, likes to go forward, hard to dispossess and has 5 goal a season in him with 20-22 years old; he looks concerned with positional game, always looking...

Valencia fans mostly lack common sense, at least most of those that voice their views. It's the kind of fans that try to stop players in their cars to ask for "explanations" (like RM). Weird behavior.. I think the sport media in the country is very sensationalist, even more the Valencia...

He is on the Euro squad. Can't post the link, though - - - Updated - - - I think that's just frustation. They know he's their best player and he is leaving. They're also known for having unreasonable expectations as in "You didn't save our season, therefore we don't like you anymore" They...

Yep, that's Gomes, all right.

Thanks. More like Valencia follower. Like the team, but it's not "my team" ;) Obviously that status doesn't allow me to have privileged information, but from following Valencia local media, it seems people are resigned they're going to lose him. Personally I'd prefer him to go to Juve or Serie...

Fresh new video from Valencia marketing or something for Gomes 2015/2016 best moments: The way I see it, his talent is undeniable. As a Valencia follower it will be hard to lose him, as he is one of those players capable of lifting people from their seats, particularly when he decides to...
