Mistake ridden Gomes does it again
A former goalkeeper more interested in picking up his wages than playing football hardly has the winning mentality to tell the club they have failed Erik Lamela, Paulinho and Roberto Soldado.
The outburst of 34-year-old Heurelho Gomes to ESPN Brazil upon his return to the Premier League with Watford, demonstrates my point about a winning mentality exactly. This is the keeper who refused to move, happy to not be in the squad and collect his wages. A winning mentality is to work every day to be the best you can be, clearly Gomes doesn't want to do that.
Paulinho has publicly stated he can't be bothered to learn English, 'can't be bothered' is that the attitude of a winning mentality? Roberto Soldado had a long run in the team and flopped, he has continued to flop. Harry Kane grasps a chance and forces the coach to pick him, Soldado hasn't. Which has the winning mentality, which mentality do you want playing?
Erik Lamela is an expensive Andros Townsend, but with added effort. It is up to him to improve his game and adapt, the club can't do it, he has to do it himself, he has to want to do it himself. If it is a burning desire he will achieve it, if it is just a desire he won't.
Gomes bottled it at Tottenham, after one good season he made mistake after mistake after mistake. Quite clearly his mental approach was wrong because he had the ability but his outburst shows how footballers blame everyone else instead of looking in the mirror.
An individual makes his or her own choices, nobody makes decisions for them, your lot in life is down to you, nobody else. The players themselves are to blame for flopping, mentally they have been found wanting.

"It is the club. I would not recommend anyone [to join Tottenham].
"They paid £28m for Soldado, and they don't play him. Or look at Lamela, who was great in Europe, but today you watch Tottenham games and he looks like he can't play football at all."
