Was inevitable, not trusted it seems and when rubbish like Lingard and Mata get chances over you I would do the same.Tweet

Was to do with money by the looks of thingsWhen you're watching dross like Lingard infront of you, you'd leave too.
This is a fair point, but equally if he was deemed good enough to start matches for us as a number 10 or slightly deeper he would have. He was told to be more patient and he is unhappy doing that, so it's best he moves on. We could get bitten in the arse something rotten from this but in the moment it's difficult to say what could have been done differently if the player is not ready, notwithstanding severe doubts about Lingard/Pereira's quality.When you're watching dross like Lingard infront of you, you'd leave too.
Exactly what people said about Sancho. He wasn't getting minutes at United ahead of Mata Pereira and Lingard (even after outperforming some of them in preseason), best thing to do is leave after making his debut how many seasons ago.Silly boy.
We know Ole doesn’t hesitate giving youth a chance, so that fact that Lingard and Mata play ahead of him is an observation against Gomez and not the club.Was inevitable, not trusted it seems and when rubbish like Lingard and Mata get chances over you I would do the same.
It really isnt. Its a case of the club telling him they wont be held ransom to a relative nobody with question marks over whether he would actually succeed at the club.Regardless if he makes it or not, this is another promising young player choosing to go elsewhere to further their career despite us offering him the chance to be here.
We've decided to take a new direction in club development since Ole came in, focussing primarily on young and upcoming players. But despite bringing in the likes of AWB and James, and signing Chong onto a longer contract, we're looking like missing out on more than we're bringing in. Haland chose Dortmund over us, Bellingham looks to be heading there too despite Fergie and the grand tour of Carrington. Now Gomes appears to be opting out.
Whether or not he makes it is still very much to be seen, but this is definitely a player who would fetch a decent fee be it now or a few years down the line. This will, and should, be seen as another example of mismanagement from the top if he goes.
Januzaj at his age was a far better player.We know Ole doesn’t hesitate giving youth a chance, so that fact that Lingard and Mata play ahead of him is an observation against Gomez and not the club.
If he was ever going to make it at United it would have been abit later like Lingard or McT. It’s his prerogative to seek minutes berore that, but I think he’ll end on the wayside like Januzaj. I can’t see him becoming a worldie
When you say United is missing out on more than we're bringing in, you realise your numbers are comparing the transfers of United (one club) vs those of all the other clubs in the world?Regardless if he makes it or not, this is another promising young player choosing to go elsewhere to further their career despite us offering him the chance to be here.

Of course that's what it became in the short term, but in the long run he's a player who shouldn't have been allowed to let his contract run down like this. We should have been looking to get him on a reasonable contract 1/2 years ago with incentives to increase base wage depending on development. Again, no certainties he'll make it - and I suspect he ultimately won't reach the levels he could - but we're easily missing out on a potential £10m+ after all we've invested in him to get him to where he is now. Seeing him go for free is just bad business.It really isnt. Its a case of the club telling him they wont be held ransom to a relative nobody with question marks over whether he would actually succeed at the club.
Of course you're going to miss out on players, but we're looking like missing out on players we really should be able to attract, and who are in turn choosing destinations that really shouldn't be seen as more attractive that Utd. Missing out on the likes of Bellingham and Haland to Dortmund in the space of a few months isn't a great sign, and will set a precedent to future prospects.When you say United is missing out on more than we're bringing in, you realise your numbers are comparing the transfers of United (one club) vs those of all the other clubs in the world?
Statistically one would expect that we'd always be missing out on more than we're bringing in.
Losing Gomes is disappointing though, however, he never really made any impact with the appearances that he did get.
This is how I see it. We didn't want to give him a contract offer for him to be on the bench, I am sure the contract was in line with what Chong and Greenwood have so it would raise questions if he was paid more and not playing.Losing Gomes is disappointing though, however, he never really made any impact with the appearances that he did get.
That's not a fair comparison. We gave lots of chances to young players and some have established themselves. Gomes was considered not ready this season and looking at his performances where he did play it makes sense.Exactly what people said about Sancho. He wasn't getting minutes at United ahead of Mata Pereira and Lingard (even after outperforming some of them in preseason), best thing to do is leave after making his debut how many seasons ago.
Just because we are seeking younger players doesn’t mean we can sign all of them!Regardless if he makes it or not, this is another promising young player choosing to go elsewhere to further their career despite us offering him the chance to be here.

Only rumours, but apparently he wanted 50k a week.When you're watching dross like Lingard infront of you, you'd leave too.
