Didnt he used to play for us as a back up keeper?
On another note Gomes was and still is top drawer I hope he is back to his tip top form and our no1 next season!
Sorry, have you been drinking ?
I just rate Gomes, yes he made errors nature of teh game, often over looked was his point saving saves he would pull off that others keepers can only dream of. Brad is a good keeper but how much does he have left at the top 1 season 2 at the very most. Hopefully our Tony Parks is getting Gomes back to his best!
Whilst I agree that Gomes is a hugely talented keeper, and I liked him a lot, a keeper cannot afford to make mistakes, as they cost matches and there is no hiding place for a keeper. Once the crowd get on their back, confidence falls, bottle goes, call it what you will and they seldom recover. For example, Ian Walker and Paul Robinson. Both England keepers, but error prone. I think nobody can disagree that Brad Freidal has been the key signing for us last year. Despite an inconsistent back 4, we are have conceded the 4th least number of goals this year in the prem.
I agree he will need replacing, but by a new young keeper in Freidal's mould. Not a return to Gomes.
