I somehow missed that Nat got a deal in the end. I saw lots of debates about what a deal might look like, but not confirmation anywhere that one had been reached then all of a sudden I see him wearing a Bourmouth shirt. I assume this is a loan?

Yes.
Did we get some cash? Presume itās 100% wages too? Hopefully we can get a decent price in July. Still not sure why a premier league side wasnāt prepared to pay 10m for him.
1.5 million upfront and 250k if they get promoted. Usually fine clubs around 500k if they donāt play most games going from previous loans out.

I have not watched one single minute of him at Bournemouth but Iāve read similar, that he hasnāt been good and is struggling.

He has played just three games. Itās natural if he struggles a bit in the beginning.

Itās Bournemouth, They probably have never seen what a class defender looks like

30 Million and heās theirs. Ake got sold for 40M , Maguire got sold for 85M , Ben White for a little over 60M.
Heās English, has experience in playing in champions league for a top club and is a dedicated player.

Seems appropriate price compared to those listed

If Gomez goes for regular football , I wouldnāt mind him as the 4th choice CB and let the likes of Rhys Williams get more loan time.
Slabby Maguire makes atleast 3-4 mistakes a match. I will be hard-pressed to find Nat making more than 6 mistakes the second half of the last season.

Ake and Ben White are much better than Phillips.
Just because Maguire is shite doesnāt mean weāre getting 30 million for him.

This is in case gomez pushes for a move. Hes too good a defender to be #4 in the pecking order for liverpool where for any other team(bar city) he would be starting injury permitting and would be the #1 defender for england
This is what I have a problem with. I think even if he were starting regularly and dominating teams, it wouldnāt matter. Look at Alexander-Arnoldās situation. Southgate is just a terrible manager.
How difficult can it be to select the back 4 for england. The only real decision is who is going to be LB.
Trent gomez stones probably pick themselves easily. And southgate persists with maguire
