[Football] Angel Gomes

[Live by the sea]

Seems like he isn’t happy at Man Utd refuses to sign the contract on offer . Likely to be leaving at the end of the season . Could he be a player of interest to us and if not should he be or is he no better than what we have ?

But can be play the guitar in Shoreham?

No doubt he will look at the success of young english players on the continent and head there.

Is he actually any good though? I get the impression that if he was, he would have forced his way into the team more than just cups etc...esp as Man Utd's midfield has been dire for a while.

Reminds me of Zola although 3” shorter.

At 2” shorter than Maradonna, he’ll need the ball played to his feet mostly.

Would be a great signing in theory, if he is affordable. If Brighton stay up, Lampty gets more game time along with Connolly and Alzate it will show young players that Brighton are a club where there is an opportunity for young players to get game time. That alongside playing a nice style of football that will appeal to most modern players, amazing training ground and desirable place to live.

Brighton has the look of a club going places compared most outside the top 6. It will also depend on the agent, if all they see in money then Brighton may not be their preferred option, if they have the best interest of their player in mind then Brighton are a very appealing option.

Looks like Chelsea are in for him, will he get game time? They have a few similar youngsters coming through.

I remember watching England play in a Nike tournament in Florida in Dec 2015 against the USA, Brazil and the Netherlands (the entire matches are available on YouTube).

Angel Gomes was involved alongside Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho amongst others, Albion's Tom McGill being one. It was difficult to pick out any standout players because England played so well. They looked the most technically accomplished side in the tournament by some distance.

But I do remember being particularly impressed with Gomes and Tashan Oakley-Boothe (Spurs, now at Stoke).

That goes to show how hard it is to pick out future stars, even at 15/16, or maybe it's just a reflection of my poor judgement.

I do still think he's got potential to play at a high level, but it's fair to say his trajectory hasn't been quite what was of expected of him a few years ago. How much of that is down to ability and how much to lack of opportunity though? A move abroad would probably be a good fit for him and I suspect he may already have something lined up.

He's not first team ready, but I would not be upset to see him come here.

"However, Solskjaer has acknowledged their competition for a European place and demands that his players concentrate on one game at a time, starting with their trip to Brighton on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports." - could be good news for us when they arrive here on Wednesday!

And for cultured film fans here’s Selena Gomez, second left. The film is Springbreakers.

Would be a great signing, exactly the sort of player Ashworth is targeting.

And we like short just look at Ryan

Was thinking the same about Folarin Balogun at Arsenal earlier. He's told them he wants to leave and would seemingly fit in nicely with the Ashworth target mould.
