2021/22 Anthony Gordon

[Eggs]

…getting selected for representative football is a confidence booster, scoring goals will make him feel like he belongs on the same stage as other top young players.

Can only be good for Everton.

Oer, was Wayne after Franny? I doff my cap to your perspicacity, after I pick my addled brain off the floor. As the years pass.............

About 4 years between the 2.

The last time we produced a decent goal scorer was Jeffers. Good luck to Gordon.

….I don’t think he’s that type although I’m sure he‘d have been a more effective central striker than Rondon.

'Perspicacity'. Cracking word. Excellent work, pal.

Anthony becoming part of the first team squad and progressing with England is really important for us.

It's been well covered in the Youth team thread since the 'Thierry Small debacle', how many of the talented youngsters in our system don't see a way into the first team squad.

Having lost Cho and Small recently, and with our best prospects including Simms, Dobbin, Welch etc. all out of contract this summer, Gordon shows there is a way to break through.

I'm hoping it also begins to make us a bit more appealing to talented youngsters who are getting courted by premier league clubs.

He desperately needs to add goals to his game.

And a bloody good stylist to sort his mop out

Can’t be messing with the scouse trim

 

[BigBlueConk]

He starts every game for me. Bags of talent.

His haircut is the result of losing a bet with Tom D.

Just trying to start a rumour.

had a lively game by the look of it

Villa's Ramsey looks solid

 

[Scally1878]

Let's hope his talent is inversely proportional to his looks

 

[davek]

When he shows me talent, I will hold my hands up.

As said above, I would be putting him in the side ahead of Iwobi, he has a much higher upside.

Mate????

Palmer looks a player.

 

[Saint Domingo]

He’s given us a very decent wide option for free. If only other academy products were like Gordon with pace and aggression rather than like Davies Kenny Dowell Connely none of whom could run.

Everyone was surprised when he was punted to Preston on loan.
And as previously stated his aggression, used in the correct way,is a major plus.
Streetwise, comes to mind.
