If anything look at the full picture, wanted to know why he wasn't involved, was told why, went away and worked his arse off to improve on what he was told, came back and became central to the team.

Me too, if they are prepared to offer the £35m upfront then take it. Gordon is just potential at the moment and could develop into something or he could quite easily sit here for 3-4 years like Davies and become a nothing player.
I'd be absolutely furious if this happens.
Take the 35 mil and run
It’s that mentality and drive
You look at someone like Iwobi, big improvement last season and still young - do I have faith he’ll kick on again? Not really.
Gordon though, I bet he’s spent all his holiday working on things, watching videos etc. to be the best he can be. He seems the type, a winner.

I wouldn’t not to Newcastle anyway losing one of our only players to come through in recent years to Newcastle would depress me I believe he has the ability to be a good squad player if nothing else I’m also hopeful he can have another good season and reach that next level. Imagine Richarlison and Gordon both going arguably are 2 best players last season apart from Pickford who’s crucial performances also saved us.

Uhhh.....that would require good scouting and recruitment tho...

This is very well said. The lad was one of the better attackers in a team that almost got relegated. He’s also not some incredibly young player either. Hes 21, if we were after Dwight McNeil for £35m there’d be uproar, riots in the streets type of reaction, yet he’s only a couple months older than Gordon.
All I’ll say is people couldn’t wait to have a midfield headed up by Tom Davies after a decent few months, now he’s easily overstated his welcome and is worth a fraction of what he was just a couple years ago. It’s very rare that a young player comes through any academy to be good enough to play for the first team of a club chasing Europe, unless they’ve got mega academies like United. Players can come through and play for poor sides far easier.
It’s another case of bias in favour of academy lads, if Davies and Gordon weren’t acadmey players they wouldn’t be wanted near the squad at all. Even Kenny who was objectively not up to the level got offered a sentimental contract after having literally less than 5 good games for Everton is his career.
You, nor I know the lad.
You, nor I know exactly what happens at Finch Farm.
A very credible report/journo claimed it happened, which Ancelotti then acknowledged, followed by a PR spin piece on the official website.
That's what I commented on at the time, and commenting on now because it was bumped.
Long time ago that though, the more pressing debate is the apparent £35m offer on the table for the lad.
Even if Everton wanted to take that offer, if I'm him I stay because he's guaranteed the game time here. He could be sat on his arse within 1 transfer window there.

Brain dead.
Because we think he’ll get better
His fitness and strength will continue to develop because of his age and the right coaching
His skill is there
His pace is there
What he needs is experience and a bit of calmness and awareness to pick the right pass or finish first time.
These are coachable, the raw talent he has is already there.
If he plays most games and doesn’t double his G/A tally next season I’ll be disappointed

Pay just a wee bit of attention to our recruitment for the past few years.
