2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Bigduke1234]

Ok.
I grant you that Gordon is not as good as Ronaldo, Ronaldo or Messi. 2 of them are amongst the best to ever play the game.

Lots of players get called world class, who are nowhere near that level. Kanchelskis was world class here for a season, but was not at that level.

At 20, Pulisic was a world class talent. It hasn't worked out at Chelsea, but he was very highly thought of. Again not as good as the 3 you've mentioned, but we could probably go 20 years and not see a player of their ability.

We managed without Rooney and he was the most talented player we’ve had in a long time. No room for sentiment, sell the lad and go get the firepower we need. I wish Gordon well and look forward to him returning on astronomical wages and a 5 year deal when he’s 32

Save me reading it all, what’s the general view, Twitter blather or genuine interest?

As with most things opinion is split.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

You're welcome

If he joins Chelsea, he'll suddenly stop being a 'horrible cheating, diving get' and instead become a player who 'draws fouls from the opposition' amongst the media.

 

[catcherintherye]

That’s just a lie though?

It's not mate.

Haves been here 3.5 years and scored 13 league goals.

Well Gordon plays a bit deeper really and contributes a lot more defensively.
He got 4 goals last season, which according to some is woeful, yer Martinelli averaging less than 4 a season across his time is wonderful. Strange how people intepret things.

And it doesn't matter what I think Gordon is worth. He's worth what somebody is willing to pay. People far brighter than me and you have dictated he's worth at least 42m. That holds far more value. These people are professionals, who know what they are doing in this.

They're not people on an internet forum who think they are being clever for making trying to split hairs between a winger, a wide forward and a striker.

Hmm, this is a bit a spoon bending.

22/23 - 2 goals in 2 apps
21/22 - 6 goals, 7 assists in 36 apps
20/21 - 2 goals, 2 assists in 23 apps
19/20 - 10 goals, 4 assists in 26 apps

Far better numbers playing the same position as Gordon.

His first two seasons were massively disrupted by injury.

Here’s the facts for you - Martinelli has scored 20 in 86 games for Arsenal. Gordon has scored 4 in 60 games for Everton. They are the same age.

He is absolutely rubbish at winning fouls but I see your point

But he will be a horrible cheating diving get to us !

 

[hktoffee]

Chelsea can do one. Batshuayi and Gilmour ?

45 for Gordon and sell. What if he goes the same way as DCL our other home grown threat good for about 7 goals and 20 matches a year.

That won't keep us up.

 

[Oasis1878]

If we get £50m for Gordon we can easily improve our team a lot. I don't see why you wouldn't take the money. Why gamble on his potential?

I think the clubs gone in waaaay to early giving him the #10 shirt and the whole 'starboy'? thing

I agree mate.

I've said openly I'd sell him and we will be fine.

Hes a decent player, but has the potential to be an excellent player. I'm much happier with 50m quid though!

 

[Wat Tyler]

SELL

Technically no but it's a pretty dishonest portrayal

That’s my point, the term “world class” gets bandied about all the time

When truthfully, you know when you’ve witnessed world class. And again, Pulisic was not
