If Gomes said "I want to go on loan and I'll sign a new contract" then sure, it's a great move in terms of retaining a top academy talent. From a first team perspective, though, we should have brought in more midfield/attacking depth if we had any inkling of Gomes wanting to leave on loan for the season. We would look even weaker in that department if this goes through.

He kind of has us by the balls if he says he won't sign a deal otherwise.
I don't want to post the same thing twice from from our front 4 we have lost lukaku and added greenwood and james so front 4 looks like it has more depth.
I don't see gomes playing in a double pivot personally
Lingard will always get picked ahead of him by Ole, as Ole loves Lingard from when he coached the reserves.
He was the only hope of not seeing the dross of Lingard and Mata both starting nearly every week, the season gets less interesting by the day.
Cheers.
If he goes on loan to Sheffield Utd, he should play regularly. If he stays, he'll probably get the odd 10 minutes here and there.
Plus, his contract situation means we can't really say no without losing him.
My only worry would be whether we have a recall option - as long as we do, then I think it makes sense

He's not going there, the rules wouldn't allow it.
Why not?
Didn't realize you'd posted a reply to this already, if that's what you're saying - not meaning to make you "post the same thing twice."
I don't see Gomes as a double pivot, but as an AM (the Mata/Lingard role). If he goes on loan, we're stuck with Mata/Lingard as our only creative midfielders/attackers. I like Mata and think he can do a job when played as a number 10, but if he has an off game or gets hurt, we're looking at Lingard as our only hope to fill that gap. That's pretty grim.
They already have Henderson on loan.
- Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club.
Thanks - totally wasn't aware that PL clubs could only loan one player from a single club.
Feck right off
Good research. Thank feck.
He can’t go to Sheffield anyway, and will battle Ravel for a spot too, may not win that one.
Lukaku who did well to turn quarter chances into goals when in form last season. Mata wasnt supplying the passes
Ravel could barely get a game at a bottom team in Sweden, with an English manager. Gomes is better than him.
I got big hopes for this kid. Hopefully he gets a run in the Europless league. Him and Greenwood could be the finds of the season.
So he's going on loan or not ?
I would be very surprised if he did. Where would he go?
I'd say 90% no, only that 1 random guy has said anything about it.
Nah, not even United are that stupid.
*breathes*
Glad about that. It would be an utterly stupid decision with what we did in the market.
Certainly not to Sheffield United, just a WUM that people all too easily suck up the BS and think it’s gospel.
Get him to sign a contract extension. At least he is young and promising. Can't go wrong as he would have resale value if things don't work out perfectly
One worry I do have is that we'll play him a ton, give him lots of minutes, we'll finish out of the Champions League places due to how poor our squad is, and then he'll move on due to lack of Champions League football.
He's been a underwhelming signing for the price we paid for him. He turned into nothing more than a squad player with his immobility and lack of dynamism in the last 5 years.
He is/was a poor mans David Silva with people like yourself blowing his trumpet. He did write a good blog though..
If Gomes leaves then OGS is to blame.
If he doesn’t feature often enough at the beginning of the season we could always start being very vocal as fans. Most likely won’t sway the coaching staffs mind BUT would at least make Ángel feel extremely wanted
Can he still be sent on loan to a championship team or what’s the rules?
Ole will be gone by the end of the season most likely anyways.
Gomes was very much there during that time too though junior so it's not like he won't know about him either.
I think it's his physical stature that coaching staff still doubts.
Even lingard broke into the team late due to this.
Good idea. We need to do whatever we can to make him feel valued to get him to sign his new deal. If he doesn't feature enough this season I feel he will go in the summer on a free. Would dislike Woody even more if Gomes fulfills his potential somewhere else
He's only 18. He should stay at the club by training and developing here with better players. He has also said players like Mata has been giving him good pointers. Let's hope the manager gives him some games in the first team. If he's good enough, he'll play
How is Ole to blame when Woody should not have let a player that talented get into the final year of his contract?
Seriously? An 18 year old who's not even made the first team yet, and we have to secure CL football to retain him? Come on now.Woody isn't to blame for Gomes going into the final year of his contract.
Who is then please?
As this is one situation that is really p!ss!ng me off.It’s nobody’s fault. If I was a player his age I wouldn’t sign a new contract until the last minute possible either.Who is then please?
