# Everton: Fans react negatively to Andre Gomes’ tweet

**Many Everton supporters have reacted negatively to a recent post on Twitter by [Andre Gomes](https://twitter.com/aftgomes/status/1173988343912325122) directing them to an interview he carried out with the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7464271/DANNY-MURPHY-Swapping-Nou-Camp-Goodison-step-forward-insists-Andre-Gomes.html), where he suggested his move to the Blues was a step forward from his time at Barcelona.**

Gomes joined Everton on a permanent deal in the summer, when the Goodison Park natives struck an agreement with Barcelona to turn his loan transfer into a full-time arrangement for £22million ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48764807)).

The Portuguese midfielder has since featured in four Premier League games for the Toffees ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/118123/Show/Andr%C3%A9-Gomes)), but missed their trip to Bournemouth at the weekend with a [rib injury](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1173209712021712897?s=20).

He has now spoken about his move with Danny Murphy for the Daily Mail, where he hailed the Goodison Park faithful as a leading factor in his decision to continue his career on Merseyside.

“The fans were 80 per cent of the reason I signed for Everton from Barcelona this summer after a year on loan,” Gomes [said](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7464271/DANNY-MURPHY-Swapping-Nou-Camp-Goodison-step-forward-insists-Andre-Gomes.html). “They made me feel wanted. It was a really good connection.

“Coming to Everton meant being in an environment where I’m comfortable in myself. I’d say last season was a big step forward for me, personally, and now I’m an Everton player full-time.”

Everton supporters were not as welcoming when Gomes shared a link to the interview on his Twitter feed, though, with many slamming his decision to speak with former Liverpool midfielder Murphy.

Here are a selection of the messages shared…
