2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Bedfordblue]

We always over hype our yoof.

Barkley was the next Gascoigne
Rodwell the next Gerrard
Davies the next Ball

The truth is Rooney has been the only truly top class player to come from the academy in a long time.

You are forgetting Tony Hibbert.

 

[ProZ]

Anything less than £100 million and we won't be selling.

If you don't ask you don't get

 

[BlueToff]

Every player has a price at every club as well mare as you know, this isn't exclusive to us having to sell.

It's a bit crap because of the situation we are in where we are so weak up top that it seems criminal to even consider selling another player. But needs must in situations like these and they have to decide if its for the best.

I think any club mate, regardless of whether they are financially stable or not, would consider a huge offer for a player like this.

But we were relying on him, and he didn't deliver, which is probably part of the reason that we needed until the last home game of the season to stay up mate...

Maybe I worded my point badly. We shouldn't be relying on Gordon so much, and the fact that we have and do, is probably a big part of the reason we are where we are. Just like if we think Iwobi will actually become a top class playmaker (and I think right now btw he's the best creative player we've got), we'll also end up with egg on our face.

There isn't anything weird about it no. But it is an unusual situation for a winger who was literally on the verge of going on loan last August (would have gone if we got Diaz) then becoming pretty much a guaranteed starter under two managers.

There is a place for Iwobi at Everton, versatile, looking confident. Can see a pass and links well.

He won’t ever be a top class playmaker Ofcourse.

Imagine saying this two years ago.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Ah there it is. The fans are to blame. Was waiting for the fans to cop for it.

Not saying it's the fans fault but I doubt anyone could argue he gets hammered on social media. He does at the match by plenty around me in GT4 and as happened to plenty of Scousers in our team down the years.

 

[Jebus_lives]

50m and he's gone

 

[Stan Lee Park]

You’re joking 40 mil is more than enough. We bought Rich for 40 and that was in a hyped pre-Covid market. Gordon will never be the player Richarlison is.

No, he'll probably be much better.

 

[atypicalusername]

You are forgetting Tony Hibbert.

Also Osman.

 

[Fansince1988]

You are forgetting Tony Hibbert.

Tbh apart from Rooney Hibbert had the best career, regular for us for years he wasn’t the most talented but he was a hard worker

 

[bluelegend]

There is absolutely no shame in developing a player from our youth system and selling them for a boatload of money.

IF we get the reinvestment right. Recent times make me doubt that we will.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Bid is now at 43 mil now mate

Everton transfer news LIVE - Anthony Gordon bid rejected​

 

[stretford blue]

50m and he's gone

Yeah that's my thinking just what deals we have lined up are the worry for me

 

[atypicalusername]

I know you can't judge how much players will improve but in terms of how they perform in the Premier league he's better than Salah was at his age like.

 

[Thomasc]

50m plus Broja or another striker on loan and I’d take that.

Then invest the money back into another forward, get Gana in and hopefully get more of the dross (Gomes, Allan and Davies) out of the door too.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I think any club mate, regardless of whether they are financially stable or not, would consider a huge offer for a player like this.

But because its mid August, and our forward options are so painfully poor, it needs to be a massive offer to consider selling.

We need over 50m
