3. Heurelho Gomes
Gomes must be wondering where his downfall came from. One moment he’s the club’s first choice, and now he finds himself behind France’s preferred custodian and a man fast approaching middle age that can still outperform him.
A short loan spell to Hoffenheim last season proved fruitless as the club narrowly avoided relegation, and he was once again displaced by former German international Tim Wisse.
At 32, he’s how entering his prime as a goalkeeper, and though he had displayed all the characteristics of a headless chicken at times, he is still a goalkeeper capable of making some world class saves.
There was talk of a move back to PSV over the summer, but hand surgery over the summer meant that any switch was sure to be delayed. Expect him to move on in January.
