Signing number 2!

Jordi Gomez in on a 3 year deal - on safc.com

Quality signing in my opinion.

 

I'm happy with that because he's just the kind of player Poyet wants in the side.
Martinez is a good judge of a player and plays a similar style.

He's happy to take the ball in tight areas and creates space for himself and other players.

Much better on the ball than Gardner and back tracks which is a plus.

 

Another decent signing

 

Is Gomez instead of Ki? much cheaper option if he is

 

Nice cheap option in the right mould. Keep picking up these sort bargains and I can see us splashing the cash on a couple big signings.

Nice to see some business getting done early. A better player than Gardner and may be on less money, I would think so coming from Wigan.
Not a signing to set the world alight but plenty of Prem games under his belt, Wigan's player of the season last year and a bit different from our current midfielders.
Good set pieces and if not a starter every game at least has something to change a game when coming on. No real injury issues through his career I know of and never caused any bother, could have done a lot worse for a free.

Its a thumbs up from me.

 

I wouldn't say so, they're quite different

 

Plays much further up the pitch doesn't he? AM Centre left or right.

 

He scores goals as well, including the Premier League, which we need.

He can keep hold of the ball which was what let Gardner down.

 

I think two out and better two in

 

Gerrin

 

Agreed

 

And less wages I'd imagine ......

 

By about £35k pw i reckon

 

came through the youth teams at Barca, so should fit well into Poyet's philosophy

 

Yeh mate I think that's right

 

do we know that Bardo was on ?

I thought it was about 32k a week, with Gardner on about 40k

 

Dear me, who's bright idea was that?

Delighted at the two so far. Poyet and congerton doing the business.
