As Brands has said, it'll be down to Gomes.

He'll have his pick of the best clubs in the champions league if he keeps this up.
 
Gomes is ace.

But can we not rewrite history?

Arteta was an unbelievable player for us. From 06-09 he was easily one of the best midfielders in the league. A different type of player to Gomes as well, so I don't really get the comparisons.

Arteta did turn up against the big boys as well. Don't know where you're getting that from?

Scored loads against City. Scored in the last derby win, created plenty of goals/chances against the big teams. Scored against United.


City was not a massive game back then.

No he did not turn up in big games,. That is widely known.

Arteta was a very good player for us, but Gomes has won the Euro's, earned a move to Barcelona and played CL for years.

Levels.
 

He had a dreadful time at Barcelona so much so that he struggled sleeping and couldn't even walk down the street without being abused by idiots. Roll on a year or so and he is now fully fit and settled and playing great football for a good club in the premiership which has ambitions of winning things and he is loved by all of the players and supporters. His decision will be a no brainer. Try and push Barca for a move to stay at Everton permanently.

Pabbers mate, Mikel in that three-year spell was incredible. He turned up in the CL game for us, v Villarreal. Scored the FK and provided (what should have been) the assist for Dunc.

City was a big game from 08 onwards. And he always did them when he came back from injury as well. Never missed pen for us did he? Never shirked responsibility.

I've been hugely impressed by Gomes. He's a class above our other midfielders in possession and now he's getting fitter he just looks like a Rolls Royce of a player. He's exceptional.

As I've said, I just don't think the comparisons are really suitable just yet because they're playing different roles as well.

Could be wrong, but I don't think he was getting abuse out and about. Haven't seen that said anywhere. It also wasn't abuse in the stadium, it was more moans and groans when he was brought on and even a bit of laughter. He was shocking bad and the fans couldn't understand why he continued to get minutes and starts.

He has really surprised me so far, as he took no time to get back to some form and confidence. I'd be very surprised if he uses us a springboard to sign for another club in the summer. Been a joy to watch and I'm delighted for him as it's hard to watch a player absolutely shot for confidence like that. Said it before in here, he would get knocked off the ball like Osman at Barça but now he battles hard and more often than not comes out with the ball.

that Fiorentina belter too
 

our best chance of getting him is getting him soon

the longer he plays like this the harder it will be to get him

looks a special player and to be honest we are the perfect club for him at the moment, sign with us get his career back on track and can go from there

They play the exact same role. Central midifled playmaker.

Its just that gomez is more all-rounded and can defend better.

Arteta was a good player in an average to decentish side.

If Gomez left us in Jan....he wont have been as good for us due to less games ONLY, but he is a better player.

You talk like MIkel was world class, and he was never the best on in the prem.
