Bonsoir mange tout.
Well it’s come to this then. Not that I don’t rate Brad but there ain’t a goalie in the whole wide world who’s nuffink without a good, steady and reliable back four in front of him. And thems is facts.
I’m inert. I presume he’ll choose Liverpool over us anyway. Bless ‘im.This is as daft as bringing Robbo back. It somehow negates addressing the other problems. It’s lunacy.
PSV, may I apologise to both you and Gomes on behalf some half-sane folk for wasting your time…
What a kerfuffle, eh? Meh.
Personally, I essentially agree with what Ricky and Ossie have to say about Luka…

Just thought I’d change tack there. I mean, Brad Friedel, is there anything to discuss here?
It looks like Pletikosa is on the way out and Cudicini in as No.2 for another year Brad Friedel as a No3 and possibly helping coach Gomes would be a reasonable move. Harry has said that he’s keen to keep older experienced pro’s around to balance and help mould the wealth of young talent we have, so this fits in too…..
The main problem for me is Gomes; lovable but so much like a 2011 version of Gary Sprake, who for those not born then, was the Leeds and Wales ‘keeper and arguably the best shop-stopper around. However…… he was truly calamatous: diving over the ball, letting it squirm out of his hands etc….one time I recall, he was throwing the ball one-handed and forgot to let it go…he spun 270 degrees and it flew straight out of his grasp and into his own net!
At times Gomes is great; for a good part of last season, he was probably the best in form keeper in the EPL, but he doesn’t seem to be able to concentrate. Do we work on the weak parts of his game or get rid of him and try someone new. In his defence he’s not had a solid line in front of him with the back 4 seldom the same two weeks in a row. But……
He’s a heart breaker for me too. It’s like that phrase that bad news comes quicker than good with him.
10 good saves undone by one bad and everyone in the world wants to mock because just like when we were kids – hardly anyone wants to be the goalie…
