Viola hit by Gomes injury Thursday 11 April, 2002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fiorentina’s disastrous season has taken another blow as Nuno Gomes was ruled out for the rest of the season.

The Portugal striker has suffered an ankle injury and has been told to rest with the World Cup Finals just around the corner.

The former Benfica star will be sidelined for the final four games of the campaign even if it is widely acknowledged that the Tuscan outfit will be relegated anyway.

Gomes, like so many of his teammates, has struggled at the debt-ridden club this term and has failed to produce the sort of form that made him a star at Euro 2000.

It is also widely expected that Gomes will never play for Fiorentina again. He will almost definitely be sold this summer.

Premiership side Tottenham are one of the favourites to land the international after they attempted to take him on loan for the rest of the season last month.

This is the best news in a very long time! First time a Viola news made me smile this year. I hope he's not only out for the season but for the rest of his life!

Nuno who?

 

[Yacoob]

Sorry to bother all Nuno haters, but I hope he will be back for the WC...

And now that he's injured, maybe you want to see Pedja play in his place.

Nuno was hurt almost from day 1 this season and never fully recuperated according to www.maisfutebol.iol.pt

[kijj]

I am glad nuno is leaving your cheesy team who cant even stay in the first divson. YOur team sucks nuno is god !

 

[Yacoob]

Hey!

Don't insult the team! Nuno Gomes was part of it all! He did contribute to our relegation to Serie B!

YES! He get his fair share of blame as any other member of the team!

 

[Castalia]

Is this good news or bad news?

 

[Fee-Go]

Who?

Listen up woodpecker, you jumped on the 'Nuno Gomes sucks and we would win if we only had a better striker band wagon'. You are almost as guilty as Lips*ck.

Nuno hasn't played in a millenium yet Fiorentina continues to lose without him. Any one else to blame?

 

[Humbird]

Sorry, I can't hear you.

Speak a little louder. Who are you talking about? Louder please!
