2021/22 Anthony Gordon

Not open for further replies.
Can’t believe some people are actually wanting this transfer. He’s still raw yes, but when someone like Carlo Ancelotti puts faith him in, then you know he’s got to have something about him. If he goes, who comes in? This Lewis-Potter lad. He’s the replacement for Richy isn’t he, so is there somebody else out there? Our youth teams are garbage, there’s nobody in his position that we can fast track through to the first team. Genuinely, who is the replacement for cheaper or what we’re selling for? If that player’s out there, why aren’t Spurs looking at that player instead?

We’re a far weaker team without Gordon in it. Selling him would be one of the biggest mistakes we’ll make in recent history.

Thats been often said about him ,i looked again at the Chelsea and Palace games.And seen two established Premier players loose their heads with him both should have been sent off because he is so difficult to mark.Graeme Souness said in pre match talk he is a Scouser and if you give him stick he will come back for more ,next season i can see lots of players getting booked and sent off marking him thats what he does [HE WILL BE IN THE WORLD CUP SQUAD ] he as something that no other player has he is not scared of any thing or any player.

Chelsea away, United at home, Brighton home, Leeds home as well mate. Our player of the season, and one of the best young players in the league.

They are the facts.

In you're extremely humble opinion Catcher... Now if you'd care to dig out the actual official Motm award for each of the above games and show me where its says Antony Gordon then this would indeed be fact.

I'll go and put the kettle on, open some hob nobs and wait while till you gathered the facts ha.

I havent checked, but how many of them are younger than Gordon?

Or play in a team as bad as ours was. I doubt Smith Rowe et al gave us what Gordon did (including fantastic defensive work).

Defensive work and attitude are important and will take him far, but he does not have the ability of the other top young players. I do not think he will leave but if he does, he will not go for the £40m some suggest. Spurs are good negotiators and his value is not there yet. Maybe it will be one day. He is important to us as Dwight McNeill is to Burnley, both similar ages, but is not the level of the top young wide players in the PL.

Whoscored has him on 2, the Leeds game and the Leicester game.

Im sure the Everton website gave him more.

It depends what source people consider "fair".

Hes had 1/2 a season mate, and showed glimpses of quality. Hes likely to get better. In terms of ceiling hes as high as any of them.

I like McNeil, but Gordon has a higher ceiling.

I’m not desperate to sell him but I don’t agree about how difficult he is to replace, in terms of right footers who primarily operate off the left we have Gray, and could bring in KLP with change left to strengthen another position and in terms of youth teams there is Dobbin and even Okoronkwo who can play that role. Again, not desperate to sell but if the number is right and we operate the sell one to buy two model like we did with Digne we’d still have plenty of options in his position.

He made 40 appearances in all competitions. In fact he almost played as many minutes as Richarlison. He was a vital, first team player and very important for us. I really like him and hope he stays, I will be surprised if he does leave, it could only be a bad sign for the club.
