2023/24 Andre Gomes

[Delargeinho]

Scary how he looks better than the rest of our midfield today .

That's a thing we would need someone like him so urgently, but financially there's no way we should extend him unless he accepts a pay cut of 40-50%. Just hoping he will be available in the remaining games.

 

[Fenners]

Actually can pass a ball forward, he should get a chance until we offload him in summer

 

[Dancing Pat]

It also makes him impossible to sell - the less demanding leagues don't have the type of money for his wages, and he came from Barcelona so it's not like he was on 5p a week there anyway.

And this has been our problem since the Koeman/Kenwight years.

Ideally, Gomes should’ve gone to Lile after his loan spell.

Ye we've been here before , no extension thanks

 

[Walken]

Thought he had a positive impact ,we have precious few players comfortable on the ball

 

[maccavennie]

Sounds like he's picked up another injury in training and will be assessed today to see if he can make the squad.

Amazing how we seem to purchase players whose injury records are woeful and guess what, continue to be woeful when they sign for us.

I wouldn’t call his pre-Everton injury record woeful.

 

[Titus Bramble]

What was his injury record like pre-leg break? I can't really remember.

He's injured far too much to justify the wage he's on, once he's released I wonder if the £100k+ will become available or will it be withheld for the sake of FFP.

 

[BullensRoad]

Anyone name any other players that have signed who had Balon d’or clauses from previous clubs?

Donny Van Der Beek was on the shortlist at one point at least but he doesn’t count.

 

[MikeH72]

God I hate him.

Was his injury record woeful pre Everton?

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Seeing him sitting in the stands laughing at his team mates a few weeks back wasn't too pleasant. And he now he gets to sit in the stands (or more likely at home) this Saturday and then three weeks off.

Nice work if you can get it.

According to who?

Was his injury record woeful pre Everton?

Well, I don't think it was great.

In 2016 looks like he missed 26 games
The season before he signed for us he missed 10 games and then we know his injury record for us from there on in.

That's from transfer market, not sure how accurate it is.
