Nico Gonzalez

[Barcaman]

If Nico played today in DMC we would have lost 3-0.

If Nico played today instead of Kessie, we would have had easier finish.

Hope so he plays good until end of the season, we renew Busi also.

So we have Busi, De Jong, Nico, Kessi/Gundogan, Gavi and Pedri in the midfield.

Ofc, maybe player more or less, this will be our midfield.

that's a great set of midfielders

 

[JamDav1982]

Kessie will be sold.. assuming anyone wants him.

Miles off standard needed.

Nico might suit being back up to FDJ though in a two as he was better under Koeman than under Xavi when given more freedom on and off ball.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Has became a starter again under Baraja, and this is during a decisive spell for them while fighting relegation.
Injury was bad for him, but from the 24 games he was available he started 16 and played them all.
I would argue he is becoming better, and overall it is successful loan, although I am not sure what is his future here.

 

[soul24rage]

If we get a DM this summer, wouldn't be a bad idea to loan Nico to Las Palmas under a coach he already knows.

[te amo barca]

I've always liked Nico. Definitely has a future here

 

[fergus90]

Same, he did have some impressive moments. Definitely needs continuity, rhythm and chances to impress.

 

[Porque]

Needs to become a 90 minute player first. Won't become that if he returns and has Xavi shitcan minutes again.

The Las Palmas loan is a good shout.

 

[BJJ]

He'll get no minutes here. Pedri,Gavi and De Jong are starters. We'll get two new midfielders this summer -Neves and maybe Gundogan.
He should go out on loan.

I can't be the only one thinking Neves will be our Torres of the midfielders...?

 

[vuji_31]

Why to even buy Neves, I bet Nico will be better CDM then him.

Get starting CDM plus Nico.

But Laporta needs to do favour for his friend and he will get Neves.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Isn't it enough that he's Neves of midfielders? I'v watched some Wolves matches in recent seasons and don't even remember what he does. Remember a goal or two scored by him tho.

 

[Andresito]

He's rather the Asensio of midfielders. Scores a banger here and there but doesn't do much else.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Valencia at the moment is about his level. He was neither an amazing nor bad player for them.

He can produce a great dribble or nice bit of skill sometimes but other than that his general 90 minute play is poor, bad game intelligence and really bad physically other than his size.

 

[khaled_a_d]

If Valencia was stable club, staying another year would have been ideal, yeah.
He established himself as a starter there, and midfield is their strongest line. Getting another year of that, hopefully injury free, should tell us more about his level and development.
Problem is Lim is crazy owner.

Las Palmas sound great and all,but I don't like choosing a loan based on coach only. We did that to Samper and wasn't good move (though injury happened) , and I remember Paco Herrera leading them to Liga, playing beautiful football only to be sacked 2 months in 1st division (and hiring Setien)
