Angel Gomes to Chelsea?

from reports it sounds like it's more money than game time. United want to use Greenwood as the cap on youth contracts, but Gomes team are pushing for higher salary. Which makes sense a little if he is in high demand, but it's understandable that United don't want to break the pay structure/benchmark. Specially when Greenwood has firmly broken through to the first team and Gomes hasn't.

Could be the case. If it is about opportunity, the clubs he's been linked to offer that same in terms of first team opportunities.

Would be a bad career move. Once Chelsea sack Lampard and return to their successful model of ignoring the academy, and youngsters, he’ll be farmed out on loan.

That ain't gonna happen Mason .

Obviously none of us know what the sticking points are in the contract discussions but ideally we'd be signing him up to a long term deal and getting him out on loan for a season or two. He needs to play regular football now against men at a good standard. There's no doubt at all he has the technical ability and intelligence to compete at the elite level. The big question is whether his size and physicality will be an issue at the sharp end of the game.

I think we’ll see him move overseas this summer.

It’d be a great shame to lose him, but at this stage, of the Academy graduates/players, I’d be more concerned about any of Greenwood, Brandon, Garner or McT leaving.

Other than Lingard, I agree. I love watching Gomes play but I just think his size will always hold him back making it as a top player in the prem. And with Bruno, and Grealish coming in, he won’t see any game time anyway.

We need to pump him with growth hormone like Messi.

I’ve not seen child negligence like it since Home Alone 2.
