2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[buddy]

YouTube scouts, we should sign this promising talent… oh wait ?

Note: should have had a lot more assists!

In those clips he didn't just create 4 or 5 chances ,he put them on a plate ,any top six forward line would of eat them up.

I remember Ronaldo doing a lot of tricks, beating people for fun but contributing similar returns to Gordon. We can all agree he improved

This is what some on here are missing. Some cockneys are trying to have the next Ronaldo off us for a relative pittance.

I can't believe I need to make a post saying Anthony Gordon isn't Ronaldo but whatever, Ronaldo had 4 goals, 4 assists in his first PL season in which he was younger than Gordan and actually played a lot less too.

Go ahead, make the actually Gordon is Ronaldo case

Big Frank.

"He's going nowhere. He's our player, and that was a hugely important thing to me. He's the sort of player we want to build to go forward with.

They're not saying Gordon is as gifted or is gonna have the same trajectory as Ronaldo. Just that there's somewhat of a stylistic crossover so there's some validity to using him as a comparison. Ronaldo was a talented player with pace and liked to beat his man who's game became immensely more well rounded.

I mean he was also playing in an elite team with Beckham, Giggs, Van Nistlerooy, Scholes etc.

lol are you serious? 'need' to what now?
And in Ronaldo's 2nd season he played more than Gordon and got 5 goals and 4 assists.
The point wasn't Gordon IS Ronaldo, obviously (which I can't believe I have to include in this post), it was in response to someone posting that top players more often than not start off without end product and ( though I can't believe I have to include it in this post) Ronaldo is one of the greatest ever players, and he started off slowly, with limited end product, but with obvious skills and talent.
Has that clarified the obvious for you? Is your 'need' satisfied? Are you able to put your 'need' away now and understand the context of an exchange between two people specific to a certain point made? I hope so, I really do

Just as if Everton will get a good deal out of that lot.

It'll be £35M and a load of ridiculous add ons and some no mark tip of a player like Gilmour.

@TheBigIguana , anything to say about these two posts or are you just going to deflect?

Can’t blame him if he’s playing with garbage.

I've said repeatedly down the years that I don't love trying to deflect from individuals by saying x would be better in a better team. So no I don't really have anything to say.

You can also go back to any player ever who doesn't make the cut. There is no guarantee he will develop and improve his output. A chance, sure, but enough of a chance to turn down 50m this window? When we have arguably the worst attack in the league? Not for me.

Of course there's no guarantee but there's decent evidence that he will. Conte, Tuchel and Guardiola know a player when they see one.

Oh and... We haven't turned down £50m. We turned down £45m which is what a player less talented with a similar profile went for today.

5m is just not enough of a gap for me to believe we'll get it done at 50m but we shall see.
