I had to look up Boavista, never even heard of them. It sucks for Gomes, I feel bad for him, because he was the linchpin in a highly successful youth team but he just doesn't have it at senior level. If even Lille has loaned him out it shows that pretty much everyone but Gomes agrees with the assessment that he isn't Prem quality. Good luck to him.Angel Gomes signs for Lille after leaving Manchester United, loaned to Boavista
If no other clubs are in for you then you have to take what you can get. He can’t just rely on waiting for a big club because that offer may never come in. Personally I think it’s a good move, he always needed that loan move to a smaller league like Holland or Portugal.Couldn't agree more but Lille?? Maybe they are just not a glamour name that I would have associated with a decent up and coming player.

It's only in very recent years you would have said that though. The standard was very good up until a few years back.I dunno about the standard of the championship I don't think it's that high but what it provides is a very level playing field the gap between the best team and worst team isn't massive so teams can quickly move up and down the places which brings excitement.
Teams in the championship wouldn't last 5 minutes in the Europa league for example.
France is different because you have 1 mega club then 4 or 5 decent sides they normally get 4 or 5 sides through to the knockout stages of the European comps normally 2 in CL and 2 or 3 in EL. Hard for any club in that league to sustain anything though as apart from PSG if you have 1 good season your teams gets ripped apart by European clubs buying up all your players.

Never. He'll be lucky to ever feature in a top league again.He might be a 100m player in 3 years time now that he's left if he'd stayed then it's unlikely he would have fulfilled that potential.
