It would be an amazing amount of money to slightly add more depth to an already crowded area. Delight looks a big unit, but the pace Gomez has suits us better. Reminds me of last year when Maguire was touted as a great option, unless you realised he's a cart horse. When vvd and gomes play we can hold a very high line closing the gap between defence, midfield and attack. Any ball over the top and the attacker is going to have to be lightning quick to outpace both of them. When he got injured the defence had to drop off a few yards which altered our setup to its detriment.
But now at least we know high line have vvd and gomez which helps our midfield support strikers better. When matip playing we play further back but still good in defence and more assured as lovren not playing. Guess de ligt isnt that important assuming matip happy to be back up.
Said this months ago. De Ligt is clearly a very good player but he's not £50m-£70m better than Gomez! People say Gomez is injury prone, he isn't. He's had big injuries, not lots of niggles. Easy to assist him too, just don't play him at RB where the physical demands on the body are much greater.
With a fit Gomez we do not need any CB's. Could do with a decent striker, could it be Brewster if he steps up?
Def need more options up top. Origi has been decent back up and might be blento push on but wouldn’t want him playing 30+ games a season if we lost Mane firm or Salah to injury
If it's a choice of delight or Gomez, regardless of money, I'd still have Gomez. He was an absolute beast at CB last season. Considering he was targeted by rivals as he's young and not Virgil, he didn't put a foot wrong. In many games last season he was just as good, if not better than vvd. He had much more to do, plus covering for Trent. To think that our centre back and right back where not out of their early 20s in quite frankly unbelievable
If we had money to spare, we would be looking for two top class forwards and a top class midfielder. With cover for lb and rb, but your not improving on what we've got.
im surprised they didn't delete it. left it up there so they can all have a sneaky **** over it no doubt.
I agree. I did actually question which one of VVD and Gomez was having the better season just before Joe got injured.
