I had planned to watch the Stuttgart-Wolfsburg game today, but I only had time to see the 2nd half. Although I mostly wanted to see Dzeko of Wolfsburg (who scored once) Gomez obviously stole the show. I know many have their doubts on Gomez because of his disappointing show at the Euros, but I feel he's has just about done enough to merit a move from Stuttgart. In the 2006-07 season where Stuttgart won the league he scored 14 goals and was named German footballer of the year. The next season he scored 19, and this season he has already scored 23.
If he was to be our big CF next season, I for one wouldn't mind. He would be expensive, sure, but so would Adebayor, who IMO isn't much better. Gomez barring he Euros hasn't had the chance to shine at the highest level (no offence to the Bundesliga) other than Stuttgart's sole CL campaign where the entire team was completely off-colour. Adebayor has constantly played in the CL, where he's had some brilliant games but also a lot of bad ones.
