Andre Gomes

[Portoman]

I actually thought we'd sold him but he appears to be back from loan - is it worth us giving him another try? Given our paucity of options last season, surely he should have been recalled - unless he didn't want to come back.

'Gomes' old boy. I'm not sure CM is a position we actually lack options. I like the lad but his return only unbalances the squad further.

Sure he wouldn't want to have come back he was enjoying himself too much, bet he hoping they buy him

Do Spurs have a thread like this about Deli Alli?

Plenty of options next season mate, weirdly though i was looking at it just yesterday and every single one of our first team squad central midfielders bar Onana and Garner are out of contract next summer as it stands.

Hopefully. Though Gomes isn't the donkey Alli is.

I think balance is the big issue, I don't subscribe to the view that all the players are crap and don't try. There are some good players there, who have been let down by our recruitment as much as anyone else. It will be a tough process to balance the squad out and that will mean freeing up wages and places from an area that is strong enough already.

The problem with Gomes is, and always was, that you have to build the whole contraption around getting the most out of his limited skill set. His distribution is fantastic, but he's a defensive liability in ways that players like Xavi and Iniesta were not.

We don't have the parts to make it work right now, and we have way too many other urgent needs that have to be solved with limited funds.

I'll concede he has the sort of looks and beard that can produce a massive crush in someone like RAFUH. He's good for getting the Prem to put us on TV.

 

[moggeridge]

surely he hasn't got the legs to play in a Dyche system...

No way am I clicking on that!

He used to be flavour of the month like so many of our lot.
I'm prepared to concede that his injury affected him hugely and consequently he would drift out of games and become ineffectual.

 

[Blue peter]

It will be interesting in a broader sense to see what Dyche does with the players that return. I doubt he will get a tune out of them to fit a system of play he has but I am an eternal optimist, so you never know!! (But we probably do know)

On his day Gomes is a joy to watch.
When you are in the trenches and scrapping for points, that is never his day.
We have cut our squad to its bare bones, iwobe is on the way out too. Talk of cutting more players maker worry we’ll struggle to get a team out
