2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[the golden visionary]

If you can't nurture your own home grown talent such as Gordon patiently for them to become confident solid performing players what makes you think you could with those?

Because evertonians will always give a young transferee the time to develop, while they expect every kid who comes thru the ranks to be rooney

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Take the offer!
40 mil for Gordon is like paying £10 for a Mars bar.

NONSENSE!

You're guaranteed four quality corners with a Mars bar. ?

 

[MACCA75]

45 should get this done but I think we’ll say he’s not for sale tbh

 

[ToffeeTim]

But we come back to the crux of the matter...

Which is no matter how much money we could get, I do not trust the club in the slightest to reinvest the money wisely, especially not at this stage of the window. They are incompetent, have no plan and aren't capable of running a football club of our stature.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I don't for a second believe this is true but you absolutely take that

 

[Mozza1987]

Hope we can get them to push it to £60 million. Especially when they spent a stupid amount on a left back.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Lampard is playing with fire if he lets Gordon go.

That's a short cut to the exit if we struggle in the first few months.

I expect this to be shut down very quickly.

Doubt Lampard will have a say.

Board and DOF will determine this

If Everton do sell I can't wait to see who they waste the money on. I'm in the 100% keep camp. If he has a great season we can get more next summer.

You can't make a bad decision because you fear you might mess up the next one

 

[Wizard]

Just announced the bid live on sky sports after the match. How is that aloud? It's purely speculation and they shouldn't do that.

I take it you’ve never watched Sky Sports News?

 

[the golden visionary]

There's that, but then there's the school of thought that whilst the manager rates Gordon he thinks that money received can advance the team quicker than with Gordon in it for the next year or two.

To use the moneyball example, we're not replacing Gordon, we're replacing 3/4 goals and maybe half a dozen assists. That's very doable with 45/50m in your back pocket. It can be one, two or even three players. You're looking to replace his (weak) output.

He may go on to be a superstar, he may have already peaked.

If it were me I'd take the silly money all day at our current stage of rebuild.

Good point, understand exactly where your coming from. Moneyball is a great film

 

[Colonel Getafe]

I’d sell him for using hair dye alone, never mind his ability.

Wait til Tom & Britney take him clothes shopping in New York at xmas.......

I hope the Kopite part of Thellwell gets him in the first Uber down to London thinking it's going to break our fans' hearts.

We’ll end up lumping £40m for Morgan Gibbs-White or someone. I just know it.

 

[wainy]

If it’s true that they have offered £40m then I feel we would be crazy not to take it. He gives his all but he doesn’t score or assist, and that offer is absolute madness to be honest.
