      He is a good Championship player but not good enough for the Prem ! I am glad he is still with us because he can turn a game on its head when he has his footballing head on !

      thats why he was the championship player of the season a few years back for swansea.

      He is also our laziest, slowest and most tackled player, the sooner he and Beausejour go the better.

      Our most tackled player! your having a laugh, very rarely loses the ball and when he does you can hear the groans and moans, a few weeks ago the lad next to says “Gomez again” after he lost the ball this was about 40 minutes into this particle game, I pointed out it was the first time he had been caught in possession. compare that to McCleen/Roger running around like headless chickens always losing the ball or passing into an empty space yet people love them.

      Gomez wins us more free kicks than any other player his pass completion most be amongst the best at the club if not the best, his vision is excellent the problem he has is when players in front of him are too static and that is when he’ll end up turning around and passing back or get caught in possession much to the displeasure of some of the thick tw*t that sit near me!

      Our most tackled player! your having a laugh, very rarely loses the ball and when he does you can hear the groans and moans, …….. the problem he has is when players in front of him are too static and that is when he’ll end up turning around and passing back or get caught in possession much to the displeasure of some of the thick tw*t that sit near me!

      Which is it?? he either rarely loses the ball or he keeps getting caught in possession (because the other players aren’t good enough). You’ve contradicted yourself a bit there

      My own view on Gomez is that he is capable of producing bits of skill or picking out passes that no other player in the squad is capable of doing. On the flip side he can often be too slow in speed of thought & body and wants too much time on the ball. He can also be guilty of backing out of challenges that he is favourite to win.
      He doesn’t deserve the stick he gets from some quarters every time he makes a mistake coz there are plenty of players who make more mistakes than him, nor does he deserve to be lauded as the greatest, most intelligent player we have.
      In my opinion there are beter than him & there are worse than him

      The “gomez is cr@p”/”Gomez shuts em up” threads every time he makes a mistake or does somet good are getting tiring though

      Sorry Tyldesley, but he hasn’t contradicted himself at all. There’s no mention of the word keeps – ie. it’s not a regular occurrence in comparison to some other players.

      For once I guess I’ll have to agree with you as it seems I read it wrong.
      My other point still stands though, coz those that seem to back him always blame his mistakes on others – he gets caught with the ball & its his team mates fault coz they hadn’t made themselves available. He puts in a shoite pass & its his team mates fault for not being intelligent enough to make the run.
      Much like your if he had better players round him he’d be a stand out player, but lets not get into that again!! :P ;)
      Most of the time (IMO) when he does those things its his fault but he’s not the only one to do it & he does get more grief than others when he does. He can have great games & he can have stinkers too – again just like anybody else

      Well, let’s have at least one who you think is more intelligent, then – I’m leaving “greatest” out of it, this is a Wigan Athletic squad we are talking about here.

      I too can think of plenty who make more mistakes than him.

      Intelligent is subjective though – Some of Einstein’s school teachers thought he was retarded & he failed the entrance exanm to get into a decent school (initially).

      On the football pitch was Gomez intelligent for picking out McManaman with that pass to set up the 2nd goal in the FA Cup Semi-Final or was McManaman more intelligent for making the run into space in the first place? Likewise with McEachran & Fortune on Saturday

      So I’m completely sitting on the fence with this one – He’s alright. Does some good stuff & does some bad stuff and that’s it.
      He polarises opinion coz some people like players who are gonna give you blood, guts & 120% commitment whereas others like players with a bit more craft & guile. Those in the first camp exaggerate his weaknesses & those in the second camp exaggerate his strengths

      Don’t dispute any of that. You said there were more intelligent players than Gomez – I presumed you meant in our squad. Who did you have in mind?

        The question is, is he intelligent enough to attract a decent Premiership club ? You may get the likes of Cardiff, Sunderland etc interested in him but would any of the established top 10 sides come in for him ? Like I said, he is a standout player in The Championship but just doesn’t cut it with the big boys ! He would fit in well in the Portuguese, Dutch or French top tiers I think !

        I never said there were more intelligent players than Gomez – my previous reply was a rather long winded way of saying that I don’t class players as intelligent or not. They all have intelligence when it comes to reading the game & what makes a defender who reads the runs & movement of the opposition to prevent them scoring any less intelligent than a midfielder who is able to anticipate the runs if his team mates & pick em out with a pass?
        I class players as good, bad or alright (it’s a very complex system!!!). For me Gomez averages as alright but has his good games & his bad ones
