Don’t buy the physique thing. Lightweight players can make it as long as they use their body in the right way, look at David silva.

He probably took one look at Pereira and thought "if this guy is getting regular football, I've got a chance here" 😂. Get him to speak to Jesse and I think we'll get him signed up for life!

Yes they can make it. But they are few and far between.

People said Shaw was lightweight when he first broke into the 1st team but look at him now.

I think his comment was tongue in cheek, based on Shaw being somewhat hefty now

And anyway as I used to tell my Dear Departed, size isn't everything, it's how you use it.

Just don’t see where Gomes fits in right now.

Much as it may not be his natural position, I think he could rival James for a position on the right wing in time. He could do a job as an attacking mf, but he's obviously not at Bruno or Pogba's level. Any deeper and his lack of physical stature would be an issue. I'm only 5'5" and he's literally the only footballer I've ever heard of who's shorter than that.

The league isn't as physical as it used to be, so he's got a good chance of making it despite his physique.

Always good to have options, he won’t be a starter for the foreseeable future.

The boot of a Fiat 500? A wheelie bin?

I hope he signs and then gets a good loan transfer somewhere. He needs to play week in week out against men in a fast and physical league. There's no doubt about his technical qualities nor his intelligence and vision - he's PL quality for sure with a ball at his feet - but his physicality is an unknown. A season or two in the Championship could be just the ticket. Same with Chong in that regard.

Do you see Mejbri as more likely long term?

I think you should bring back your youth player articles you did a few years ago
