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's trying. He's already said.
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.
