Angel Gomes Watch

[Trex]

It's Man United....come here and prove you have what it takes to displace Mainoo. It's a squad game after all.

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

I don't think his attributes will fit in with the midfielders we need. We need more physicality, not less.

No we need more technique, not physicality.

 

[Eplel]

Being short doesn't equal being weak. Some people here are ready to publish a diatribe based on an image they saw online.

Gomes, Mainoo, Ugarte and Ederson would be a good blend of technique and physicality.

 

[Raven]

Anyone know how he's getting on this season? I've only seen him for England where I was impressed. Now more than ever, I think his profile would fit perfectly next to Ugarte in midfield.

Would be a good impact player to help unlock defences as a replacement for Eriksen

This. He’s a free agent this summer, isn’t he? If that’s the case, he’d be a solid addition to the squad, offering versatility to play both in the pivot and as a number 10. That said, I’d be concerned about his lack of physicality in the pivot, especially since that’s an area where we’re already struggling.

I think his big weaknesses is aerial ability and top end pace. As far as I recall, he's got good stamina, work rate and acceleration. I think we need someone like Gomes in the midfield, someone's who's press resistant, has a good range of passing and progresses the ball.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Put it this way - He does not even start for Lille, people really need to think about that

Only just getting back into matchday squads now after the injury.

Seeing that we sometimes try to place Bruno in one of those midfield positions, Gomes should be able to handle that aspect decently enough. He certainly would be on my radar as well as a great rotation option for a good price. He shouldn't be the player we bring in to partner Ugarte in the starting lineup though.

Apparently he's just back from injury.

Ah right, was it a bad injury, do you know?

Calf problem he'd been playing through. He posted something back in November saying he was focusing on recovery, which you can't really blame him for as he enters the end of his contract.

An upgrade on Mainoo.

 

[FrankDrebin]

If he wasn't on a free would you still bring him back to the club ?

 

[flameinthesun]

If he wasn't on a free would you still bring him back to the club ?

For a cheap price yes. In terms of an upgrade for Eriksen this would be a big upgrade for the squad. Not necessarily for the first 11.

 

[Red-Man-Walking]

If he wasn't on a free would you still bring him back to the club ?

Depends on the fee, but him being home grown and available on a free to replace Eriksen after his contract expires makes it a no brainer for squad depth, especially if things are tight from a PSR perspective with all the other gaping holes in the team to fix.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Apparently he's just back from injury.

He came off the bench for 25 mins on the 10th, not in the squad for the cup game 14th and an unused sub for the game yesterday.

They would have given him at least 60 mins yesterday if his involvement was crucial, hes a decent player but I dont think he was someone in their XI they didnt have decent back ups for.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

I have no idea if we’re after Gomes, but would imagine losing Heaton, Evans and Rashford from the squad would lead to some need to find some qualifying homegrown talent for the PL and UEFA squad quotas going forward whilst some of the young players in and around the squad are under the age of 21.
