Tuanzebe is rumoured to Napoli isn't he?
Whilst I think Gomez is an upgrade I'm not sure I see him starting ahead of Mings and Konsa. And the reality is that to get better we need to sign better players.

Tuanzebe out....Gomez in?

That would be a big upgrade.

Is that the same Gomez that started in liverpool's 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa?

We’d better strike Van Dijk from our shortlist as well then and any other player that’s suffered a heavy defeat in their career.

Wow it was just a question. I take it from your attempt at an answer that he is.

The way you put it inferred that you knew Gomez started that game and played crap so we should avoid him, I concluded from that that you may think the same about any other player that had suffered the same in their  career which I think would be foolish.

If it was just a question then yes, yes it’s the same Gomez that played in that game and yes, I think, he’s a definite upgrade on Axel and if he shows anything like the form of a few seasons back could be the best centre half at the club.

Gomez only played an hour of the 7-2.

Even if we followed that logic in judging him, we’d be looking the same way at the other three defenders that night, who are three of the best in Europe.

It was a closed question. Yes or no would have done instead of the rabbit hole you chose to explore.

Whatever, if I got the wrong end of the stick so be it but we both know I didn’t as others pointed it out too. Anyway transfers…

Only an hour...enough time to rip them though.

Whenever I've seen Gomez, he's been crap. Has pace, but not much else.

Not sure how old he is? If still fairly young, I guess he could improve. Struggle to see him being better than Konsa though.

I would think on the Gomez thing that Gerrard has seen him at close quarters when he was coaching at Liverpool
So maybe he rates what he thinks he can do

Gomez was signed from Charlton so he may not have been involved when Gerrard was at the club, certainly as a youth coach.

I do think he is an upgrade on Axel, however I’d prefer us to sign first XI players rather than squad players.  We should be aiming to develop those in the academy.

Oh
That’s my theory out the window then

There are many C/Backs that are an upgrade on Axel
What we need are players that are an upgrade on our starting 11
I guess it is a bit unfair to write off our summer purchases because for one reason or another we have not seen much of them
Also depends on money available and season end expectations
Tough Midfielder, cover at left back and maybe he thinks we need a proper number 9
