I know we will all be disappointed to see an important member of the team going . Yes tears may flow. We can put a statue up or rename the youth team minibus . Well that might be fitting as he loves generational talents .
What he can't do,though, is hand in a letter of resignation, work out his notice period & start work at Wolves next month.
That would completely break professional sports as a whole.
I'd give it a few more days. Flamengo will probably try some sort of tactic (silent treatment, wait out tactic, etc) to try to get him to sign with Lyon. If Gomes continues to stick to his guns, they'll come crawling back.
You may well be right, equally it could go to the wire. Who will blink first anyone's guess.
I suspect it's something no-one would relish being tested in the courts. Professional sport is not exempt from contract law and international conventions around freedom of trade and competition. A real Pandora's box if anyone ever had the appetite to challenge current practice.
its nothing we dont know it was reported by crook and others that he met with lyon yesterday and he said no to them
Maybe sell them some our duds
Makes me wonder if Alex Crook's info is legit. This guy has been the one breaking the news on Gomes the entire time and this seems a lot more open ended than what Crook said yesterday. I hope this guy tweets that Joao has told them he won't be signing with them soon as well.
I mean Vene has said that his preference is Wolves, but Crook is the only one I've saw that flat out said he won't be signing with Lyon. I need to find the Vickery thing to see if it's just a concrete as what Crook said.
Yeah, I saw that. From what I hear in the interview it says he wants to go to Wolves. Same as Vene saying his preference is Wolves. Kind of like saying... I want to date a nice foreign lady, but I'd settle for local if it was my only choice.
Under 21's don't count towards that limit of 17 non-homegrown players, not sure if other leagues have a similar requirement but they usually do. In the case of Gomes, he turns 22 a week or so after the registration deadline, so he wouldn't count for the rest of this season, but would from next season onwards.
****ing hell i **** myself then when he inferred Nottingham Forest.
Where’s Forest come from why did he say that
Damned fine effort.
Especially the one on talksport
Possibly talking about the Danilo transfer before this and got mixed up?
The final "goal music" piece is very clever. Thanks for the chuckle.
