..I doubt Silva wants him to win too many headers. Very interesting signing though in the context of team strategy. Andre Gomez has been linked lots and is 6ft 2in. I know some on here like him even though he’s failed to live up to expectations at Barcelona.
Next 24 hours will shape our season.
I like both the signings to be honest. We are not committed to be fees and are avoiding buying the shiny new thing.
Moyes (and to a degree Kendall) signed lads who it hasn't always worked out for them. That can obviously lead to a better price, but also people (and therein footballers) who have had a bit of adversity often have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. This is not to be confused with terminal decline, but guys who are early to mid 20's and got something to prove can be terrific signings.
Gomes to be hasn't been right since about 3 years ago when he had a good season at Valencia. He needs a change. Bernard is more the opposite and seems to be getting better each season which is critical seeing him get used to his size.
After a slow start the window is shaping up very well. We've kept most of the young players, found decent loans for a couple of the younger lads and seem to be adding people at lower prices.
