Him going off was the turning point

Before the injury too. People just don't want to back their judgment on players. Somebody in their mid-20s is not going to transform into Lionel Messi with a bit of patience. Holgate was another who it was clear for a long time now is not of the requisite standard. Gomes was a disaster at Barcelona. It was clear he suffered some form of personal crisis there. He had been consistently poor even prior to the Son incident. Like Coleman, people who weren't paying attention put his decline down to his injury, but the writing was already on the wall after a series of consistently poor displays.
Gomes, I fear, will become a convenient scapegoat for many who will use him as their one and only sacrifice when so many other players in this squad have been similarly disastrous for us over the course of more than one season.

I still maintain that he could do ok in a more pedestrian league. Somewhere like the Eredivisie would be good for him.
It's a question of would he personally be willing to take a significant pay cut for a new contract and fresh start elsewhere. He isn't a poor man and we gave him that same fresh start very lucratively once.
At least the club should have discussions with him and his agent in that respect and not just take a passive view that nothing can be done.
We need to start taking more assertive steps to deal with the issue of unwanted players still in contract, starting now and starting with Gomes.
Over to you, Thelwell.

He’d do fine back in Spain. They all just walk around the pitch.
He will be useful if football implements a ban on running, pressing and forbids any player from getting within 3 yards of the opponent.
Football has evolve beyond his capability even before his injury. He can’t even survive in a slow Spanish league with world class players around him.
I blame Brands.
You do need to be able to pass a football in that league though, which is where he’d fall short. I genuinely see him as a lower league standard player in like Italy or something.
How much longer on his contract?
EDIT - Seen it's 2024
Heaven knows who will buy him then. He'll want paying

This is one of the most frustrating things with him because it is true, but he unfortunately only shows glimpses of that throughout the duration of his time on the pitch. And I am talking like 2 or 3 times a game maximum and it never leads to anything of note either.
He is not good enough for this league. Needs to be one of the first sold.
