2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[MACCA75]

You can probably guess who does. Someone who chats absolute nonsense and a lot of it.

I’ll almost certainly have them on ignore.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

He's started the season as if he thinks he's off. £25m would not be enough for the club.

I honestly don't think he has. One thing this boy can never be knocked for is his effort and endeavour. He's just not all that good at footy.

I think most people will have them on "egnore"

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Considering the first bid came and got rejected in a matter of, what, 2-3 hours last night then I’d expect an improved and acceptable offer come in either later today or tomorrow

If the Turkish fella’s correct then we’ve bid on Guirassy already so we’re jumping right in to bring a forward in early this week for the weekend

Quite right. Rejecting the first bid right away is all part of the dance in these matters. Good PR for the club. "We are committed to keeping our young star!", when chances are well all know £45-50m will get the deal done if Tony G is asking the club for the move to happen.

If we got a proper striker in, and him being played in his correct position I don't see why not.


Some people are allowing recency bias to creep in with the Villa and Chelsea games as well I think.

Say he becomes a top level player mate - he'll likely want off at some stage so how much would we get? £70-75 millions tops?

Say he doesn't improve and is the same level he is now at 24 - we would get what £20-25 millions if anything?

I think £50 millions is a gamble worth taking in our situation - no guarantee he'll progress to a figure above and dont think he offers us enough at present to be turning down that kind of offer.

I was sick as a dog seeing Richarlison go for £50 millions but we'll replace Gordon easily imo.

I know he's out of position but he's floated through both games, peripheral at best. Head is elsewhere.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It's very possible that he is yes

I refuse to believe this, I'm sorry.

To believe this you'd have to think Gordon, today, is at least an average PL level player and that's fantasyland.

Iwobi has just been to Belfast. Is he being sold to Linfield FC?

There’s been times when people would have been happy he was.

There is absolutely no guarantee we could attract someone better. Our recruitment is extremely poor, and our standing in the game is extremely low right now.

 

[Axlswhk]

How about Jordan Ayew?

Can I at least expect the player worth more than 42m to contribute to more goals in a season than Jordan Ayew?

Any legs?

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Lies. Every manager has a say until a certain point.

They sold hazard the season he took charge, why? Because he wanted to go

Do you think lampard took over and went nar sell hazard??

If Gordon goes it's because the board have decided to cash in on him ( rightly so at the figures mentioned )

It's almost as if the owners of a business have a bigger/final say on such matters moreso than current manager employees, isn't it. Crazy concept......

 

[Axlswhk]

What madman said that?

Mad isn’t it. Can’t be arse to quote, it’s in his thread if you bother to look.

Personally I think you have to take the chance.

It's a very scared to compete attitude to not go for it here. I'd like to think Thelwell backs himself.

 

[blueblue]

Some dopey Evertonians thinking thinking Gordon will be anything but bang average! My point was I know we’ve been offered 40mil but I would also take 20mil, that’s how much I don’t rate him

I am guessing from that you haven't had a call from Chelsea asking for your opinion?
