Goats squad analysis thread 2023/24

[Sona]

An innocent question deserving of patient explanation.

Gomes and Gbamin... are they like - nowhere - near consideration? I know both got crocked, Gbamin's hardly played, Gomez not the same after the horror break, but are they seriously absolutely both out of contention for the season?

Between those 2 guys and Alli there is actually potential for a half decent MF that can pass, nauseating to think these guys put boots on jog around in training and that's it. Must be so weird for them and the other players...

Gomes has gone with the squad to Switzerland, so it might be the case that Dyche wants to take a look at him. He actually had a decent season at Lyon, but I think his time is up with us.

Gbamin is nowhere to be seen on any of the pre-season footage so far.

Thank you.

Out of interest, what happens to a player when obviously not fit enough to play. They just hang around whilst in contract, presumably?

Quick correction: Virginia isn’t homegrown, which also affects the numbers at the end. .

Why isn't he Homegrown mate?

I could be wrong on a technicality, but he was born in Portugal in Oct. 1999, and joined Everton in Aug. 2018, a few months shy of 19. If I understand the rule for foreign-born homegrown players, he'd have to be with the club for 3 years before he turned 21. He was only with the club for two years before he reached age, and so shouldn't qualify as foreign-born homegrown.
