The Joao Gomes Fan Club

[Monketron]

Neto absolutely hammered that ball at him, fantastic control on the shot.

 

[Severnup]

Gomes has been fantastic since his debut. Born winner who just keeps getting better. If he played more of an advanced roll he would be on the scoresheet more often. His second goal today was sublime.

 

[S G Wolves]

How much to join?

His wife was standing in front of us. No idea why it is of any relevance though..

 

[lostwolf]

Hypothetically, if we were offered Neves back, in a straight swap for Gomes.... I wouldn't want to do it. That's how good Gomes is. Genuinely think he has a higher ceiling too.

And I loved (still love) Ruben. So that's some praise.

I agree insofar as this midfield is much more dynamic; that's what we've needed for years now.

I don't think Gomes has a higher ceiling though, although that's impossible to judge at this stage of his career. In that holding midfield role I think Neves really could play at a top club. Gomes in his role, well honestly who knows... he could end up with this as his level (the blood is pumping for us fans at the moment and Brazil and Real might seem plausible, but that might be a bit OTT!) but then who knows how he'll improve?

Either way he's class, he's ours and he's ferocious. Love him.

 

[Woolywolf]

Why hasn’t he got a song!

 

[Polish Wolf]

My favourite player in this team and there's some competition!

 

[Wolf 82]

Was very good from his first appearance.. but has grown to another level his last 9/10 games.

As Dawson said on Sky.. every top team will want his signature at end of season, so let’s hope we can hold onto him for a few more yet. I think he likes being here, so hopefully no rush for him.

 

[Axle]

Brilliant. I was in that club. Showing my age now

Me too!

That fan club that came with that badge, Gnasher (who l reckon is closer to Gomes: bites yer ankles) and a wallet for 45p.

Those were the days my friend!

 

[rincewind]

Fantastic player.

 

[Mugwump]

He's top notch and i cant think of that many premier league midfielders of his type at his age who are better.

 

[Wolf 82]

I don’t think there are any in his mould.. I expect Spurs, Liverpool and United might take a look this summer.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Superb player.

Gnasher was a crappy bit of circular cardboard with some terrible fabric masquerading as his fur.

What did you expect for 45p? lol

 

[stever]

What did you expect for 45p? lol

Probably about a tenner in 2024

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Brilliant today, one/two passes aside.

Absolutely tailored made for these sort of games. Love this kid, brilliant.

 

[Axle]

Probably about a tenner in 2024

Well this is the thing. Both Gomes and Gnasher were cheap and both are aggressive AF and scare away the opposition!

 

[Evthewolf]

Terrific player! I think he will go all the way to the top. Hopefully not for a long time, (unless it’s with Wolves).

The reason being, he’s a rare breed and all the top teams need one and they’re not easy to find.

 

[bully306]

I was worried he was too physical at first, also seemed like the refs were onto him from day one. Since then hes adjusted to the prem really well.

Two absolutely fantastic goals... the header was just perfect and the run and cool finish for the second was exactly what we've needed for years. Takes so much pressure off the forwards.

Also love how hes getting better each week, GON should be proud of him tonight. I am!

[Glow69]

Song needed asap

 

[BORN A WOLF]

Joao jo jo joao.. bit of freddy murcury improvisation needed.

 

[Wolf316]

Why hasn’t he got a song!

They tried to make him go to Lyon but he said no no no
He plays in gold and black for the Wolverhampton pack he’s Joao Joao Joao

 

[groundhogwolf]

He here he’s there he’s every ****ing where.

 

[goldeneyed]

It's remarkable that he and Lemina have so comprehensively filled the massive gap left by the departure of Neves and Moutinho.
Behind them I rate Doyle and Bouba also. So we are very well stocked in midfield with Bellegarde a very competent attacking midfielder who should only get better if played in his natural position.

But Gomes is the crown jewel who is already a £40m player imv and who will only get better hopefully.

 

[SA Wolf]

Gomes cost us around £15/16m. Caicedo and Fernandez each cost Chelski over £100m each. Personally, I wouldn't swap Joao for either.

 

[clivewolves]

He's one of the reasons why I was never worried about relegation. All these pundits and online influencers who had us down for relegation properly didn't know who Joao Gomes was back then. If you would've asked them they probably would have thought you were talking about Joe Gomez.

 

[nomadwolf]

“I feel like that can become much better than I’ve ever been. Our coach gives me a lot of freedom for this, to become the player I want to be, and maybe get to the box....

Gomes | 'I feel I can become much better'

Joao Gomes believes much of his good work on the pitch is now touched by the work Gary O’Neil is doing with him.

[ombyman]

Those two wally's that they have on TalkSport on a Sunday morning said something funny today, they said Joao Gomes is like if Wolves had grown a player in a lab, not only name but also similar in stature to Moutinho and Neves. It made me laugh. They were very complimentary of him, he had an amazing game yesterday, I think a few teams heads will have been turned.

 

[Darvo]

His ability to quickly close down opposition players and then dispossess them is superb. He did it over and over yesterday. Great, young player.

 

[Darvo]

Ohhhh Joao Gomes
Joao, Joao, Joao, Joao, Joao Gomes

(to the tune of Wonky Wanderers)

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Ohhhh Joao Gomes
Joao, Joao, Joao, Joao, Joao Gomes

(to the tune of Wonky Wanderers)

Thanks for the contribution but that is absolutely awful!

 

[Lou Pine]

Gomes fits perfectly with Go West by Pet Shop Boys.

Gomes, He’s Brazilian
Gomes, hates the albion
Gomes, wearing number 8,
Gomes, the lad is ****ing great.

Catchy and easy to remember? Yes.
Complimentary to Joao? Yes.
Slags off the baggoes? Yes.
Sweary? Yes.
Sung by Liverpool or Arsenal? No.

To me it ticks all of the criteria for a song to be successful at Molineux. Apart from the Liverpool/Arsenal bit. Damn.

[WW1963]

There aren't many of his ilk left in the game. Tackling has almost become obsolete in the Premier league.

I like that 1

 

[Golden Arrow]

Remember celebrating his goal at Southampton which now seems yonks ago. Even then I knew we had a special player in our midst.
This guy will go from strength to strength and will need to be protected from the circling big boys who no doubt will come knocking at some stage.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

He’s only going to get better.

 

[topcat99]

Gnasher was a crappy bit of circular cardboard with some terrible fabric masquerading as his fur.

No. That was Dean Saunders.

RIP off at 45p though

 

[Arky_R]

So much more to come from Gomes.
Fast becoming one of my favs and its nice to have players contributing to goals from all over the pitch!
