Gomes? On the way up or down? I expect Brands will look at both. But those "on the way down" will have the hunger to get back up.

When was the last time he started ? Or got subbed in for that matter
Thanks,I don't remember any at allHe's made 9 appearances this season apparently. I only remember 1 for some reason.
Hunger.
It's a shame that, because there are also examples like Barry, maybe Milner (sorry I know) and, I dunno, now I can't think of any , Old pros who still have the professionalism to do their best at any stage in their careers. But it's a good point, because Walcott, Rooney, Ashley Williams are all in that category, and then if you don't mind puking, go further back to the people like Ginola and Gazza, and mostly those on the way down do badly!
Actually that boss Swedish striker...the Celtic one..he was amazing when he was older. And of course Ibra but he's a different story.
Henrik Larsson?
Quite. That Moyes fella was on to something, signing the likes of a Pienaar, Arteta, Cahill, Lescott, Baines, Coleman, Jagielka on the cheap. On their way up with something to prove.
Is our scouting team just not very good anymore at identifying younger, hungrier players, a winning mentality with the correct attitude? Or, is it just easier to spend a fortune on "established" players and throwing money at them, at the risk of said players no longer perhaps having the desire?
We do buy younger, hungrier players though.
We then call them crap for not being the finished article by the time they are 20.
That's it exactly. We don't have patience, and we have raised our expectations to such a level that we expect Sterling, Harry Kane, Delle Ali etc, from our young players, if not Neymar and Mbappe.
We need to have patience. For god's sake we are the same fans who accepted Lee Carsley, Hibbo and Osman (even though he played like a mini Pirlo Lol) so we can surely have patience for our 'golden generation' DCL, Kenny, Lookman, Davies, Dowell, Vlasic and Richarlison - great group to have at our club...not to mention Beni,
Even our guys in their mid 20s are 1-2 yrs off their best - Mina, Keane, Pickford for instance
How is this waste of space still here?
