Angel’s contract has never expired before. That isn’t about him.Does the lad not understand how contracts work?
Angel Gomes - Will he stay or will he go? | Contract Expired 30th June and he's left the club
- Thread starter TheReligion
- Start date
He showed a lot of promise in the youth a couple of years ago but has never really kicked on. Whenever he's played for the first team he hasn't been that impressive and he's definitely undersized to me.Is he any good? All I have read about him on here is that he’s Jadon Sancho’s mate
I would've preferred keeping him and giving him a loan but there's nothing much you can do when he's turning down contracts.
I’d be more bothered if we hadn’t signed Bruno- the truth is he’s a long way off the first team! If he takes the Bundesliga by storm then I’m sure he’d always be welcome back
Gribbin was told he wasn’t welcome months before his contract expired.
He's not been linked to any German clubs so this assumption that he's going to join Dortmund is a bit premature.
When you are good enough, you are old enough and big enough!
The lads not ready yet, even it would seem, to sit on the bench.

Let him go, sounds like he is an arsehole.
He isn't one of the most talented youngsters in world football - he wasn't even a starter in the England youth teams. He has magical feet and I like him and would have liked to have seen him get more minutes ahead of Lingard and Pereira but my suspicion is he is gonna end up as a neat but largely ineffective player.
You've pretty much explained the answer in your own post. He's talented but he can't transfer that into performances in men's football yet.... maybe his size is an issue or maybe it's something else but I've watched him play a lot and he is a genuine world class talent.There's also the element of clubs not giving non committed players game time, everyone does it and it would be naive to think that Gomes wouldn't be playing more if his contract situation was sorted out.
Look at what Chelsea are paying Hudson-Odoi. It's disgustingly immoral amounts of money as apparently he's on more than 100k a week but maybe that's what you have to do to keep these kinds of talents now.
It's about the long term and he has even more potential than all of them IMO. Anyway as per my response above. Players that don't commit to a new contract never get any playing time so that's clearly been a factor this season for him.
He’s one of those players that I’ve heard lots about but never seen him play. A lot of hype from Man Utd fans I know but I didn’t realise he’d hardly played.
Isn't that the German way? According to the media they weren't even in real contention for Haaland until the day he signed. Bayern regularly announce deals out of the blue.
He captained the u17 world cup winning England side....
He was England’s captain. The feck you on about. When he was fit he was a guaranteed starter.
How can you actually say he's a world class talent? He has done absolutely nothing to show anyone he is such a talent . He is 20 soon and there is many players at his age who are genuine world class talents . Gomes most definitely isn't one of them
If he joins Dortmund in the next couple of months, you can change my username to anything SFW of your choice for two weeks.
Sad news. Good luck Angel.
Don't think he's going there either but bookmarked nonetheless because this is 2020 and expect the unexpected.
Back then (1-2 years ago ) it was said Barcelona admired his talents and want to work with him. Wonder if that's still the case and we see him pop up there on a free or a couple of other Spanish clubs.
Agree to disagree. PSG, Barca, Chelsea etc know it that's for sure. I'll feel physically sick if I see him playing for Chelsea or another PL team next season.
I don't think so. He's been given zero opportunities, which tells me Ole knows he's got no future here.
Always sad to see a talent leaving the club. Sounds like the Agent as got to him.
Howson was all smug when ITK on twitter were saying Gomes was signing the contract. Like how he knew it a week before and all. Shows how much these insiders really know. They might get few information here and there but by and large, they are useless. Can't believe people actually pay to listen him
Surely he’s gone now?!
Good luck to him, I really like him as a player and thought he would be good for us. Shame.

players of that size do struggle to make itDid anyone else hear the nonsense spouted on MUTV regarding this situation? Basically saying players of that size will struggle to make it because they are "not physical enough". If we were talking about a player whose main objective was to defend then there would be some merit to that, but other clubs have proven that you can play creative players of that size as long as the talent is there .
I've read all your previous comments and my conclusion is that you're either a Bertie or Dipper troll..
He only started twice in the U17 world cup win and came off the bench in most games. I remember there being a hoo-ha about it on these boards as people were annoyed he wasn't starting.
If he wants regular football he won't get it at Utd.
Good luck to the bloke and let us see how he does at his next club.

This is factually incorrect. Ole has already stated he has had a contract offer from the club for some time.
It was coming. Chong made a u turn, but usually it doesn't happen. I could see in pre season and at the start of the season something wasn't right. He never played much, which was weird considering Chong, Pereira and Lingard were stinking up the place at some point.
I think he will make it if he makes the right move now. I know some talk about size, but it doesn't matter if you are an excellent player. I think he will be a great player one day, i rate him highly. In a couple of years, we will want him back.

Yes, but Ole knew we weren't getting anywhere with it, hence why he never gets a chance.
Never saw the ability that others do with Gomes. Admittedly he’s a good technician and has ability in the ball.
He was recovering from an injury and as there were so many other great talents in that team they could afford to use him sparingly. He's not a natural leader, he was made captain because of what he could do on a football pitch and would have started every game in normal circumstances.
Some massive under-appreciation of how good this kid is on here. Perhaps his size could be an issue long term but I've a feeling this could be Pogba 2.0.
He was injured. He was the captain for a reason
Because he just returned from injury and couldn’t handle playing in the Indian heat. Every time he entered the pitch he was given the armband.
Pogba has come off the bench in matches lately. Guess he just isn’t that good and only a bench player.
Been at the club since age 6.
Not a natural leader yet he’s captain every team he’s played for? Yea sounds about right. He’s a leader and a talent.
I have been a huge fan of Gomes for a number of years. I have never been bothered about his size, I think his technical ability and balance help manage that. He is a classy player who needed game time last and this season. I can understand the hesitation of putting him in our squad now and where we completely f up, was not allowing him a loan move last Jan and this season. I think Ole's reluctance to play him and let him move on loan is the reason behind him not signing a contract - and i do not blame him. I have read 30k is the figure on the table, he may not get that anywhere else unless Juve step in, but this is times of COVID. He is turning down money for playing time, the boy has a good head on him if that is the case. We will never know the truth, but that is my assumption.
Sadly, it looks like he is off. I think he will be a fantastic player in a few years and we have let a gem run away. I hope he goes off to Dortmund who have a real history of developing younger players. I could also see him doing really well in Spain and the Premier League. Best of luck Angel, no hard feelings to u on this!.

The press rarely have a clue about youth players.
I suspect Gomes has received numberous contracts elsewhere - this is pretty much Dortmunds MO.
Offer young talent decent contracts to move on a free, train them up and sell them for a profit. I wouldn't be shocked to see that happen.
We will see anyway, not sure moving to another english club will be good for him and Germany is in vogue right now.
Especially if Bellingham goes and Sancho is already there (who he is/was close with)
You think Fernandes was sold,
Amazing you have some how managed to spin a youth player leaving into a slamming Ole post
I'm not sure Ole rates this kid and this has been apparent from pre season. I hope Ole hasn't made a big mistake
