vicente_14 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Having been linked strongly with Real Madrid, and Capello being very keen on the defensive side of the game, Gooch must have something about him. He clearly has all of the raw ingredients to be a good player, and I don't think he can be judged on a handful of appearences for two main reasons. Firstly, The fact he was not eligible to play in the Uefa Cup has disrupted his rythym. He plays a game, then misses a a game, plays a game, then misses a game, so has not yet had the chance to play consecutive games. Secondly, you can't expect a player to arrive from the Belgium league and step straight up to Premiership level. He needs a period of time to adapt,a nd then be judged. But as I said, he must have some quality, having been linked with Real Madrid, Chelsea & Marseille. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thirdly every game he is playing with different partner in the defence He dont have any synchronization with the other players he is playing at the CB That is very important in football especially in defence I think this fact is one of the reasons he is not showing his true values so far Yesterday with Moore they were pretty disorganized and it was obvious that they are playing for the 1st time Charlton should have scored at least 3 more goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that he can establish any sort of rhythm because of the UEFA games he has had to miss on top of the breaks. He plays every other game and in between those games there is a week off... hardly the ideal situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Tricky to tell, he hasnt been anything special tttt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hes not what we need, and hasnt looked the part in terms of what we need. Surely the aim of signing the next centreback is to do our best to correct our problems, rather than just signing another player who "needs to be playing alongside someone better"? We know from Woodgate's time here that a good centreback can make a big difference if hes able to lead well, and if Gooch isnt that, then why sign him?

Cajun Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 At the moment if Gooch doesn't sign our centre backs next season will be from Taylor, Ramage, Edgar and Huntington. Scary! Thats not to say we should sign him but if he is available for £1.8m and we do sign someone close to Woodgate class then maybe we should get him in as although I have hope for Edgar and Huntington (Ramage is just shite) its a fucking scary prospect going into next season with one of them as first choice and the other just behind while Taylor is the main man!

YankeeToon Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Unless we're in a position to buy 2 new CB's and a LB this summer, we need to sign him for backup. Maybe a one-or-two season contract. Hunty and Edgar need to go out on loan and get regular starts somewhere to take their game to the next stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'd rather play Edgar than Onyewu, admittedly based on very few performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, although still not convinced with Gooch as a player. Hard to judge him, he plays quite conservative for a centreback and doesnt get involved much at all, hence does very little "good" in a game. At the same time hes not exactly great at the other aspects of defending, eg reading, positioning, etc, so its not as though hes able to compensate. Overall, theres just something about the way he defends and plays the game that spells out to me "uncomfortable", as though hes playing ever so slightly out of his depth. Maybe its just getting used to the Premiership, but still, considering he doesnt look anything special at all.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 agree with troll.should play taylor beside him.that would be a solid centre defence.should sign woodgate 2 cos of course there gona get injured!last thing i wanna c is the honey monster[bramble]back!

Minhosa Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think he would be a solid player with a good, reliable centre half next to him for a run of games next season. As much as a rate him, thats not Steven Taylor, so we'd still have to buy, meaning Taylor would be on the bench as our first choice replacement. I think Gooch needs a run. To be fair, he's playing at a much higher level than he's ever played before, in a new country and with unfamiliar teammates. He's also not helped by the fact he's probably never played in the same back four since he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i agree with riches, everybody gave oba lots of time and he turned out great and its much harder as a new defender in the premiership than it is to be a striker or midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example this area can be referred to as your ‘notcha’ as it neither your anus or scrotum. Another favourite of mine it the ‘screctum’ as again it is neither scrotum nor rectum.
