Of the two of Gomez and Buckley, Id be more hopeful about Buckley, simply because he is an unknown quantity in the Premier League. Gomez had several years playing for Wigan in the PL and flopped hard, was their boo boy along the way.
 
Ithink Buckley will play second fiddle this season.
Mainly back up and a impact sub when Johnson is tired.

But hopefully he will be a good addition to the squad.

Yes, I see him as a decent squad player but not as a first choice. Certainly no worse than the likes of Gardener or Vaughan.
 
This. Massively underrated by many on here, will fit perfectly into Poyet's style. The fact he was a key player under Martinez is good enough for me

I'm not even convinced he will start for us to be honest.
 
Buckley will divide opinion. Some will see him as not involved, disinterested. The first may be true as he is only good going forward, the second is just because of his temperament, more a technique-based player than fiery hard worker type.

At Brighton we used to call him Buckley 66 minutes as it was so regular at one time that fans looked at the clock and expected it. Since then he has refined his game a bit more, but still not very good at defending. I would tend to think it will be the same again at first.

I bet he mucks up his first touch and everybody moans.

Why was he only substitute? Because of Vicente mostly, but eventually he replaced the Spaniard. And because og Craig Noone was playing well (not so good sold to Cardiff) and in a one winger side, Lualua sometimes got the nod. Both were better at the defending bit. And sometimes because he was not 100% fit.
