"Prodl follows former Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes in moving to Watford following their promotion from the Championship."

Welcome Heurelho! Hope he's better than he was at Spurs fml.

 

He's better than the keeper we had last year. You know, whatshisname?

 

Why are we signing Gomes when we have this Lithuanian guy and Scuffet coming??

 

Who, Loach? Even Gomes has to be better than that geezer, surely?

 

Never heard of this ****.

 

I thought schools went back this week?

 

Andy Rankin was a good keeper, Hudderfield have got a bargain there!

 

Did we give Spurs Pat Jennings in exchange for Gomes?

 

Must be due a call up for his country.

Our first Brazil International.

Pantilimon is better.

 

If the vote were now he would be my player of the season..

 

I'm almost beginning to think he might actually be better than Coton.

Almost.

 

Not accordding to some of the earlier posts

 

What a mistaka to maka, how embarrassing for you both :doh:

 

A mildly embarrassing comment at the time and now looks very silly. A few mistakes at Spurs but judging by the welcome he got there a few weeks ago he wasn't as bad people made out

 

Gomes is an excellent shot stopper and sometimes makes it look spectacular, but looking at footballstats.com he has let in more goals than Pantillimon, Arlauskis, Gartside and Gilmartin put together this season.

 

Ummm didn't you look at the date they were posted? Clearly tongue in cheek as he'd already been with us a season...

 

I'm not entirely convinced he's the one who looks silly.

 

We've been very lucky with keepers in the past. I thought Almunia was a great keeper for us in the Championship, but to get Gomes whilst we were still in the Championship was a masterstroke.

He's a top quality person, but someone who was harshly treated at Spurs and was the butt of many jokes. That's what happens when you're playing in the wrong environment.

At Watford, fans are far more appreciative and forgiving, and he has responded to this and is thriving.

I actually think since Pantilimon has signed it has pushed Gomes to even greater heights. His form now is absolutely outstanding. Some of the saves he is making are breath taking.

He does tend to show his age a bit after he makes a save, as he doesn't spring back up very quickly, which always makes me laugh......as I absolutely know the feeling.

He has always time for everyone and is a great ambassador for the club.

Make the most of him now though, as I'm not too sure he'll still be with us next season, sadly.

 

Imagine an alternate reality where we signed Marek Stech instead of Gomes. Terrifying.

 

I have to say I hadn't noticed the date and now look an utter fool. I'm just popping outside, I maybe sometime

 

Why not?

 

Didn't he sign a 3 year contract at the beginning of the season?

 

Personally don't think how we can keep him if he wants European football next year. He is certainly good enough.

Think he is the best keeper in the league and probably our best acquisition Pozzo era.

 

I think his distribution let's him down but he's up there with De Gea and Lloris for shot stopping.

 

I hope at this stage in his career he just wants regular prem league football in front of a bunch of fans who appreciate him, and with whom he's earned a few credits to know that we won't be on his back if he makes a couple of clangers, like Leicester away. I doubt he'd want to go back to a champion league team and risk sitting on the bench or being berated by fans after a mistake. I suppose a twilight career move back to PSV where he's also loved might be a risk.

I agree he's been a fantastic acquisition.

 

The best keeper in the league is pushing it. De Gea, Lloris and Cech have all been consistently better than him for a number of years, he's only had one year at the top level recently. I'd certainly put him on a par with the likes of Schmeichel this season, though. Comfortably top five in the league at the moment.

Of course, if we could choose any keeper in the league, I'd imagine there would be more than four others we'd choose ahead of him, pu

 

Not his season they haven't according to the stats ... and previously is subjective as HG wasn't playing PL football.
