We can't sign another Gomes. It's already a nightmare on the predicted line up threads with Toti and João. Will someone please think of the forum posters for once.

 

[Bill McCai]

We need to sign Bueno's twin as well for ultimate confusion. Bueno, Bueno, Bueno, Gomes, Gomes, Gomes.

Rodrigo Gomes (G.D Estoril Praia) – Scout Report

A bit of a change from the leagues I usually cover but once I saw this player I just had to watch more. That player is Rodrigo Gomes, currently on loan as G.D Estoril Praia from S.C Braga in Liga P…

Yeah who wants players like Jota and Neto?! boo I say, BOOOOO!

 

[Matt]

Glad that we haven’t completely cut ties with our Portuguese connections. Know nothing about Gomes but he sounds exciting, and great to see us so proactive in the market for summer.

 

[Rabid Wolf]

Next season will be interesting with the pace of Chiquinho and Rodrigo Gomes.

 

[Skrilla]

Seen enough in a youtube compilation to confirm that he's the next Bernardo Silva, welcome to Wolves.

Guess I'm going to have to keep an eye on Estoril results now!

 

[JamesWolves]

He's average

Wolverhampton Wanderers sign promising young Eastbourne Borough striker


Eastbourne Borough have reached an agreement with Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers for the transfer of Fletcher Holman.

I read that he's been with Wolves U21's on trial, has anyone watched any games, or was he training only?

Played a couple of times, looked decent, got into good positions and read the game well.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

We can always call one of them Gomez, or would that be too confusing?

It's starting to sound like Monty python's Bruce's sketch.

 

[Severnup]

That's 2 strikers signed. More to follow ?

 

[lets all have a disco]

Putting 2+2 together and ending up with 9....(like we always do in a transfer window)......Right then so we are giving Braga 10m in the summer for this winger are we getting someone off them a bit cheaper in January.....Simon Banza (Mendes client) striker.....10m nw and 10m in the summer so it's technically 20m for the pair ......lovely jubbly...


If it happens I'm ITK......

Who are the 2? Fletcher is for the U21s, replacing Fraser, who is going out on loan. Who is the other?

His handle (The Retarded Lad) doesn’t give me the most confidence.

[Minimalist]

Maybe he’ll be a right wingback if we stick with the current system?

 

[BillyBoots]

Tommy is the deal I want done

Why put in on the books in January....when wem watching FFP this season...

This - there’s no doubt that we will make Doyle permanent (his performances and his price are a no brainer) but I doubt that happens this window unless we need to free up a loan spot.

 

[SuperGran]

Both him and the club know it’s going to be permanent.

We could announce it Feb 2/3rd like we did with Cunha to give the lad piece of mind.....but makes no sense to put it on this year's books if we are watching FFP.....as long as it goes on next year accounts no problem......can see that happening actually and always being the intention....

What a chant that would be

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Both him and the club know it’s going to be permanent.

He was involved in all 3 goals on Saturday, I particularly liked his part in the first. He reverse passed back towards the corner instead of the safe option of passing back to a defender.

 

[stever]

He's gonna be a great player. He has a sense of Pirlo about him IMO

 

[Severnup]

Who are the 2? Fletcher is for the U21s, replacing Fraser, who is going out on loan. Who is the other?

Gomes if reports are true.

 

[NothingButNeto]

Gomes if reports are true.

He’s a winger/wingback and won’t join until the summer.

 

[Wolf Pack leader]

My thoughts as well

 

[Severnup]

He’s a winger/wingback and won’t join until the summer.

That's why I asked if there were more to come.

 

[SuperGran]

 

[Monketron]

Only thing stopping him reaching his potential is I've felt he's looked a little weak physically when he's played. If you want to play in a 2 man midfield you have to be able to hold your own. Saying that he was a lot better against Everton though, even if their midfield wasn't the best.

 

[Pagey]

There here, there there, they're every ****ing where, Gomes, Gomes!

 

[SuperGran]

[TheTwoPigeons]

Very impressive showing from Gomes here with two goals, one assist and another nice pass (number 21). Looks like another Neto!

Taken from braga forum. Dampens expectations and gives me vinagre vibes.



"It seems like an excellent sale to me, especially if we keep a percentage of the pass.
I believe that AJ and the current system are to be maintained and I don't see Rodrigo Gomes fitting well in any position.
He doesn't have what it takes to play in an attacking position here (at least to be a first and good option) and the full-back in a four-man defense I have a lot of doubts about. He is a player who runs a lot and still often makes bad decisions. He is capable of providing a lot of width and depth, but it doesn't seem to me that he is capable of providing great guarantees in the rest (defending, coming from behind, thinking and pausing the game more).
At Estoril he is playing in the ideal position for him (winger in a system with three central defenders), he has a lot of space to run… it is the ideal context for his characteristics, it was impossible to do better."

Developmental talents with him a chiquinho for a summer under Gon hopefully positive

We need to sign Bueno's twin as well for ultimate confusion. Bueno, Bueno, Bueno, Gomes, Gomes, Gomes.

I remember us being linked to Bobo Balde and Mark Beevers at one time. I wanted them to sign purely so that we had Balde Beevers at the centre of our defence.
