English Freak 456 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Don't know why so many people here want to avoid Gomez like the plague.He's got a similar goal to game ratio as Cavani and would cost less than half the price. If he flopped it wouldn't be a financial disaster unlike with Cavani.We'd all rather have Cavani, but if we got Gomez on the cheap we could pour a shit load of investment into central midfield.Fair point..but I'd hate to see us settle for Gomez...whilst City gets Cavani.

Reddish-Blue 2,515 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 He does nothing aside from hit tap-ins. Nothing. Apart from breathe and the occasional jog and the other basic body functions. This isn't even an exaggeration. Unless you want to include 10 passes a game.Have you actually seen him play? He scores goals..not just tap-ins.And if we actually invested into our midfield...we wouldn't really need a world-class forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,992 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 With the money we could save we can go out and buy Modric and Matic to have as our CM partnership. Muppet Mode ENGAGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppet Mode ENGAGE!Spending 30 million (that's the fee Benfica want) on Matic is just as bad as paying Cavani's buyout clause.Let's see how Romeu goes...

If he flopped it wouldn't be a financial disaster unlike with Cavani.We'd all rather have Cavani, but if we got Gomez on the cheap we could pour a shit load of investment into central midfield.because he is as technically gifted as thomas gravesen...we need a player who has a decent 1st touch and can combinate with our players. its not coincidence that mandzukic is preferred to gomez. gomez is a good goal-scorer but beside this he aint doing nothing for the team. he is waiting in the penalty box for the pass and is tapping it in. 90% of his goals are tap-ins. he has scored some others too, yes, but mostly goals come from 3-5 metres. would either pay 30 m more for Cavani than 30 m for Gomez...but Mou is a Gomez fan so i can believe this could happen. would be awful though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If he has an opportunity in the box, he rarely missesHis job is to score and everyone knows he does that very well, all other aspects don't matter if your striker isn't scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3sphinx 18 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 His job is to score and everyone knows he does that very well, all other aspects don't matter if your striker isn't scoring. Yes, it does. A good striker not only brings goals but also improves the team's overall play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,515 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, it does. A good striker not only brings goals but also improves the team's overall play.I'd take a good finisher above someone that misses easy chances but improves the team's overall play.Gomez is an old fashion centre-forward, his technical ability is limited but he'll get you goals.Cavani should be our #1 priority...but Gomez for 15-20 mil isn't a bad option.

Waterfall 893 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Rather have Gomez at 18M than Cavani at 53M.People underrate Gomez way too much. At worst he's a good finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenx1313 17 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Wouldn't mind as a backup plan if Cavani transfer doesn't work out. I Don't think anyone feels comfortable with Torres, Ba and Lukaku as our strike force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
