Gomes can at least take solace in the fact that he is unfortunate to appear in this team. There are facets to his game that are very admirable. He is a superb shot stopper, for example. He appears to have a brilliant personality. Actually, thats about it. Signed from PSV Eindhoven by Juande Ramos for a reported £7.8 million in 2008, Gomes overcame a shaky start to put in a series of eye catching performances, punctuated by stunning saves. Injury soon got the better of him and upon his return to the side a number of high profile errors, notably fumbling a Cristiano Ronaldo shot when it would have been easier to have just held the ball against Real Madrid, sounded the death knell for his Spurs career. A loan move to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga offered some respite, but on his return Gomes found himself third choice keeper and his contract was allowed to run down, freeing him up to join Championship side Watford.
