Again I wouldn’t believe every thing that comes out of his mouth . 3 players won’t even touch the sides. Unless they’re a 50mil RB and 2x 100mil winger & centre midfielder.
You could sell Gomes Abroad IMO. He wouid suit certain leagues and still probably has some credit in the bank from Valencia, we won’t get our 22mil back, but 10 should be possible.
He was mentioned a year ago, certainly by me anyway, then he got injured. I like him, a stylish player with movement, which would mean he’d stand out here. Didn’t watch last night, is he fully recovered now?
Played well enough but got subbed.
If we are going to improve our forward line why wouldn't spurs try and improve theirs with the 130m for Kane? Instead of downgrading then giving us money to buy someone better? Surely they'd just spend the 130m on whichever player you are suggesting we recruit?
I don’t see the hate towards gomes. Granted he’s not having the best season. But he can pass a ball, give him athletic players around him like Allan and dac. But add to that pace and width, and it’ll help him massively. I’ve mentioned in other topics, teams know how we like to play down the left, so they’ve stopped us playing that way. Our right side isn’t good enough, so then everything goes through the middle, all our squad midfield players are central. Get width and pace in this squad, and players like Gomes, improve.
Based on what I saw, you wouldn’t have known he was injured before.
Maybe rumblings he is being sold though.
I think its difficult to pin what Gomes does, he doesn't really defend very well as every tackle seems like a foul or he gets nowhere near. He is great on the ball but does not really move it forward, score or assist. In his first season a few performances stick out like the Pickford Derby and Arsenal at home etc where he was progressing the ball and players were bouncing off him, he also seemed to have abit of energy about him but even before the injury he started playing within himself and after the injury it really looks like he does not enjoy being on the pitch. He is a tidy player but after his awful time with Barca/injury I don't think he has any drive to affect a game of football.
He is ok at recycling the ball but has lost a yard and badly lacks dynamism and is meant to be a creative player. That he has a few asists and one goal in three seasons says it all. Have sympathy with the injury and he seems a good bloke but no room for sentiment we need pace and power and ball carrying he isn't bringing that.
He also knows that we won't buy 7 or 8 players and sell 9 or 10.
Besic and Walcott, I think, are the only permanent contracts expiring. Olsen and King are off, too.
