hippo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 To me gomez looks like an icing on the cake signing - I m not sure we have the cake yet. To me we gambled, and with the help of some decent loan signings , we have have some how crash landed in the premier league - we need to spread reasonable quality throughout the team and add some squad depth - so whilst I would find the signing of Maxi Gomez incredibly exciting - I think the likes of Tyrone mings and Maupay are more our bag this close season - we need a balanced team - not one 40M superstar which leaves us stretched in other areas. If we finish 12th next season - then we can add the superstars - boring as it is we need the basics in place first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats are not too impressive but he's a wonderful footballer from what I can tell. Probably been mentioned but ‘Acura Sports News’ on twitter saying medical Wednesday before a 25m move. Looking at his other posts he did call the Jota move a couple of days before hand. But this latest bit of ITK seems a bit fair fetched. Ive never heard of this player but then again I’m totally out of touch with La Liga since it stopped coming on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me if they signed him. True but it's still an absolute nothing club. I think they've a good chance of going down in the next 5 years.

A stadium they don't own, that their fans hate. There's more atmosphere on the moon. Owned and run by such scumbags they wouldn't be allowed in the Mos Eisly Cantina. They're **** all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes good shot stopper (pretty much most keepers are this) but his kicking is really poor, Guzan level distribution and I don't find him commanding on crosses at all. Stoke want 20m + so for half that Etheridge would be pretty similar level imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Not sure what to think about Butland but Stoke fans do seem to really rate him. We just can't get it right with keepers can we, a new one comes in every season and barely manages to complete it before not being needed. Maybe spending £20m will sort it.

deeps Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Keeper has been a problem for us for some time. Steer, hero and all just doesn’t shout PL number 1 to me. Great number 2 mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
