Liverpool eventually decided not to let Gomez go, only to miss out on the Palace captain when he joined Manchester City in January.In hindsight, that was a costly decision, although keeping Gomez felt like the right call at the time. Nevertheless, Palace are still looking at the Liverpool defender as he considers his future.Speaking to Anfield Index, Lewis Steele said: “I do think Gomez will go, the way he was talking saying he was grateful for his time at the club.

So yeah, I think Gomez will leave.”Gomez has been a fantastic servant for Liverpool.He was part of the teams that conquered Europe and England (twice), and his ability to play centre-back, right-back and left-back has made him a hugely valuable squad member.As Jurgen Klopp once said about him (via Liverpoolfc.com): “People forget how important Joey was in the best years we had.“I don’t know how many games he played in the year when we became champions and how many games he played when we won the Champions League, a lot and rightly so because he’s a top-class player.” Should Curtis Jones keep his place at right-back against Aston Villa?
