We want a team that can go out and give the top teams a game.
Ideally we would like to build a team that can go out and match teams like City and Chelsea.
We will never manage that with Andre Gomes in the team, everything he does is too slow and ponderous.
He is a good footballer, he has a good range of passing, he can be strong on the ball... at times.
But, I look at the top teams and I just can't ever see him competing with players at the level or see us compete when we have players who play at a completely slower tempo.
I have never seen Andre Gomes sprint, I don't even know if he can.... everything is a jog, even when when we are trying to defend a quick counter attack.
