"¡Ola! Is that Spain? It's Roberto! Send over some more classy boys, there's lovely! Diolch yn fawr!"
A former Barcelona youth player, Gomez joined the Spanish contingent at Swansea in June 2008 on loan from La Liga side Espanyol.
A playmaking midfielder with a cultured left foot, he made just three appearances for the Catalan capital's 'other' club in the Primera Division in 2007/08 but starred in the club’s B side, netting 10 goals from midfield. According to his boss Roberto Martinez, Gomez has good close control, technical ability and simply never gives the ball away.
He arrived at the club in a joint swoop alongside striker Gorka Pintado.
