Nah, definitely not a good sign that he's starting. He has been a lot better recently, but I'm still quite shocked that he's actually starting tonight.
I guess he's starting because he offers good work rate. Barca's wingers will have to work like tireless horses if they want to get a good result there, Villa doesn't offer that.
Are you kidding me? Most people reach their full potential being in the late 20's and early 30's and you are talking about him as if he is playing his last season. Look at Di Natale, he's 35 and he outruns almost everyone.
same story every time! so the guy ain't suited for barca so he is bad.. i mean c'mon it's always been like this.. palermo sells Cavani and Napoli buys for 17m and everyone says he ain't worthy and overpriced boooooooooooooom he is one of the best now and we can't buy... and you have player like Gomez and we had the chance to sign him and every one goes oh he is just another Iaqunta oh he is bad and see he scores for fun now... this forum never likes anything.
He was bad and so was his whole team. Now they're basically out of CL we can actually snatch him up and even we could negotiate a decent price. They will look for changes and here's our chance. IMO we won't get anyone better than him. He's not suited to Barca's tiki - shitty football as he's more direct player. He'd be better for Bayern who play more simple and effective football.
My opinion stands we should get him despite his performance today. He'd do well in our 4-3-3. I can't see better options for us considering our wage cap and transfer fee we could actually pay.
Di Marzio said Conte was watching him tonight, we spoke with his agent but Barca will only discuss any move until after the second leg, he said he's our main target for the summer.
