Agreed, can see Van Dijk and Gomez being their 2 centre backs next season. No way are Liverpool letting him go anywhere, he's a young English international who could easily be there for 10+ years.
All these prices are mad. De Vrij just went to Inter on a free. He's 20x the player Joe Gomez is. Dybala to Juve was 4 million, Pogba was on a free. There's too much money in the prem that we just throw it about.

Thats because he was Out of Contract though...
He's also 26-years old, whereas Joe Gomez is playing for one of Europe's top club @ just 20-years old
There is too much money in the Premier League (Agreed) yet you have to remember that if Liverpool never sell Joe Gomez and he becomes England Captain etc. then they got a World Class Defender for £3.5m which is peanuts

Just out of interest I know Joe only played 13 games for us, and I thought at the time we’ve got a proper player on our hands here, he seemed to be on a hover board, and just glided over the turf.
How do you think he compares against Paul Elliott or Richard Rufus at the same age?

I think he’s better ... and will become even more so.

I’d put him at the same level as paul Elliott. Rufus always had something extra about him

Gomez is much better than Rufus was . I liked RR but he was pretty hopeless on the ball and relied completely on pace to get himself out of trouble. Gomez is a pure athlete and superb on the ball
Joe was a far, far better player than Paul Elliott and Richard Rufus at that stage of their careers with us. They both improved over time to become great players. Joe is already there. Joe is the most naturally gifted defender that I've ever seen at the age that he was with us and he is still clearly improving. As long as he stays injury free he will be at the centre of the England defence for years to come.
I don't know which game it was but I remember him being up against a really tough opponent and not shirking the challenge at all and then he did some audacious drag back and I thought to myself "This kid is going to be one hell of a player".
I wonder how good he can become if he stays fit, and whether he’ll end up being a replacement for Ramos at Real Madrid, sounds nuts saying it, but it is possible, needs to add goals to his game imo.
Rufus was lighning quick ,i think he would have gone on to play for England if he hadnt picked up injuries.His ball distribution wasnt great. We saw Rufus play agsinst the best in the Prem over a period of years.

I think THAT tackle against spurs in his first game back after a long injury highlights the edge Rufus has over the other two, extremely good footballers that they are/were, when it comes to making comparisons between the three of them.
I’d go as far to say he’s the best young player I’ve ever seen at Charlton.
For me he is up there with the likes of Lee and Parker as the best youngsters I've seen at Charlton.
He is also, in my opinion, the best English central defender right now with the potential to be the best in the world. He will end up at Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Some players you see them live and think they are really good. Bowyer. Gomes is much better than Rufus. Very intelligent footballer, great passer of the ball, pacey. My only concern (and is a big concern) is the amount of time he is injured. I really hope he can limit his injuries and have a fantastic careeer.
Has the potential to be world class. He is only 21 and is playing so well and with such ease at Premier League and International level. At a top club with excellent coaches and players around him, playing regularly, he is only going to improve and it is so exciting.
He will be the best player ever to come out of our academy, I said it not long ago on the other Gomez thread and I mean it, the boy is going to the very top.

Gomez is already a regular at a big club at 21 as well as playing for England.
Rufus was 28 when he played his last season. As good as he was he probably wasn’t going to get to that level.

With Gomez it was “he’ll captain England one day”
Best academy player I’ve ever seen
