Took his goal well against Barca but did fuck all else when he came on.
Far to early to say if he was a bullet dodged, but Haller looks the better player on the little i have seen of Gomez.

Pellegrini was hell bent on signing Gomez so he must have seen something in him which convinced him that he was exactly the type of centre forward we needed.
I think the vast majority of us are pleased that the deal fell through and we ended up with Haller though. He really does look like a complete forward and perfect for us right now. I reckon either one would have been decent for us,

Gomez came on min 72
Yellow card min 78, nasty foul, studs down achilles heel / ankle of a defender
Scored min 90+, last min of the game, tap in, but very well taken
Really did nothing else, but looks a nasty piece of work that can score a goal.

Who would be surprised if Haller, Lanzini, Anderson & Diop (maybe) would be in their respective national team lineups come end of season? Personally I hope night in case they get Payet syndrome!

...because let's face it, this is the Premier league and every defender will be told to kick him up in the air as it's all they've got against him.

Let's not gloat just yet. Haller is one awkward tackle from being out for the rest of the season, as all players are. Gomez has an entire season ahead of him.
I think Haller is a great player but don't tempt fate.

Early days, but not going well for Gomez
Valencia just sacked their manager and need to appoint a new one. Valencia have played 3 games and have won, drawn and lost to have 4 points, mid-table. Gomez has not played an entire game, missed the 1st, started the 2nd and was subbed and came on as a sub in the 3rd. No goals yet. In the game he started, Valencia lost to his old club Vigo.
Today Valencia are away to Barca, usually an entertaining game and could be good to see what sort of player Gomez is... if he plays!

Haller fits perfectly into our team. I loved his goal where Anderson pinched the ball off him on the edge of the box and he made his run into the six yard box. A real striker’s goal.

I was saying the other day, I’m absolutely delighted we didn’t get him. Haller is a much more complete player and better suited to the prem.

Ah well. I’m happy with what we’ve got in Haller. Not going to gloat if Gomez isn’t working out with his new club. Just glad it’s not us for once.

Yep we had a but luck with the whole process, unusual for us, but ending up with Haller was the best outcome. Not sure I would want many other strikers in his bracket really,
Was reading earlier that Bayern made a late bid for Haller but vaulted the price, thank fuck for that.

Like most I judge these players on clips having not known them from a bar of soap previously.
Once I saw Haller you good tell he was more mobile and had a better first touch than Gomez so Valencia did us an enormous favour by getting him ahead of us.
As we play more with Haller I hope we get better at playing balls across the box as he is good at finding space.
Like the way he works hard to hold and win the ball and gets himself in the box.
Carroll used to drive me crazy by playing a ball and then standing and watching.

Very impressed with Haller. Perfect signing for us, really.
It’s a bit early to say about Gomez. He’s just missed a few games for whatever reason. Could be a clash of personalities or the incumbent strikers playing well. Who knows.
