Tooj Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd still snap their hands off if we were offered him, it's not the first time a player has looked complete shit in a tournament. What matters is what he does week-in week-out at club level. Apart from if they're playing for their country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 After Euro 2004 were you all saying "Sign Baros for £500 million pounds he is the worlds best striker!!!"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 i forgot about guiv'arch, gullit didn't like him much and shipped him out after about 4 games or so? is he our only word cup winner? i remember him signing before france '98 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 He's a very much reversed Podolski. Podolski plays well at International level, but is shite for Bayern. He's shite at international but class for Stuttgart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think Gomez shows glimpses of what he's capable of(those that have seen him in Stuttgart knows what he can do against good oppostition), and he offers more to the team than someone Gomis seems to do even if he doesn't score. None of them has had any luck so far in this tournament, but Gomez has been successful on international level before this tournament. Look at Henry etc. in the 2002 WC. France didn't score at all, he turned out OK in the next few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 At the end of the day - we want a happy balance of our targets showing enough glimpses of excellence to justify their signing but nothing too much which is gonna attract too much interest from other clubs - if we've done our scouting properly we'll already know who our priority signings are and we shouldnt be relying on an international tournament to confirm our interest. At the moment im happy for Gomis and Gomez to be underperforming, it can only bode well for us. I cant see a big club needing a spend money on a plyer who doesnt do it on the big stage when they can get the real deal at all levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Having said that, he was having a £25m asking price being bandied around him - no way in a million years has he justified that price tag, i think its fair to say that so far, he hasnt added to his value, if anything he's lost some.

Mick Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 4 games? I thought it was 1 appearance and one goal before he was sent packing? I'm sure it was 4, twice from the start and twice from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 More caps = greater asking price. not really. more a point or "regular starter for major international team". we'd never prove it but if he moved from stuttgart before euro 2008 i'd guess his price would be the sameish after a poor championships Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 'more caps' I mean 'more regular fixture in a national team', not just one or two here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomez looking pretty awful in 3 international games doesn't make him a poor player. he might just not be ready for a different level with different challenges yet. it may put a couple of the bigger clubs outside germany off him if it continues to the next rounds, as it would raise doubts about his adaptability to different styles of football, and his temprament on the big stage. i think it shows that talk of him being 'better than us' is a bit rich, too.
