Gomez at the last Euros put in the worst performances by an individual I've ever seen in a major tournament.

 

Unbelievably s***.

 

It was like a bad flashback to watching Brett Angel. He'd scored something daft like near enough 1 in 2 during the Bundesliga season as well.

 

I meant in terms of how they perform at club level. So I think we agree there. Heskey is shite all the time whereas Gomez lacks... experience at international level?

Gomez has been shit for Bayern as well. He had one or two good seasons for Stuttgart. The same way as Heskey had them for Wigan in the last years. Gomes is shit. Probably Heskey is too, but Gomez is worse.

So they paid 35 million euros for someone who had 'one or two good seasons for Stuttgart'?

 

His name is Gomez ffs, Gomez!

I'd imagine its Howard as keeper unless he's injured.

 

I don't care who plays in the back - they are equally inadequate IMO, however, I would be very happy if Bocanegra got injured and missed out entirely.

 

For the rest I would like to see:

 

DMB Dempsey Donovan Torres

-------Buddle Gomez

Real Salt Lake. :lol:

 

I know - we all laugh with you over here in the States.

 

I have suggested that we send Nile Ranger here on loan. Mormon state, middle of nowhere, very difficult to get into trouble.
