Love Gomes. My favourite player in the current team. Hope to God we buy him in the summer.
But didn't he say Ronaldo was better than Messi when he was at Barcelona.? I'd hardly call that embracing the fans.
By the way, I wouldn't say a word against him for anything he's done since he's been here. I think he's settled in really well and, as you say, has embraced our club and in particular the community side.
As regards Vlasic, if you read his interviews rather than the headlines, he hasn't really said anything that isn't true, and I really don't think he's said anything that has disrespected our fan base either. His family possibly, but not the lad himself. There is an argument that young players should be seen and not heard, but you could say that about footballers full stop imo.
What some people are missing here is that is that he is a very talented young player, still only 21, who is already now a regular in the Croatian full squad. He has had a successful period on loan and has performed well in the Champions League too. Like Henry Onyekuru, both his stock and his value has increased since we bought him which is not to be sniffed at given some of the other bad decisions that were made under Koeman/Walsh.
I'd like to think that Brands/Silva take a look at him in the summer before making a decision on him. I trust them to do the right thing for the club.
