2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Eggs]

Just don't play him upfront ffs. Drop Mcneil, get Gordon back out wide and put Keane upfront as he's quicker than Rondon

….funny using ‘quicker’ to describe Keane.

Suggest; ‘…put Keane up front because he’s less slow than Rondon’.

And one of the best finishers at the club (so they say)

You might be onto something.....

….ha, ha not my idea & I certainly wouldn’t support it.

Please don't get injured tomorrow and forfeit your move to Chelsea ffs

Is this how desperate we have become talking of putting Michael Keane up front.

I cant take much more ?

 

[BlueToff]

I'm much less indifferent to it. He's got to be so much better if he stays and I'm just not that confident in it.

That's not really fair on him though. Chelsea bidding £45m for him doesn't mean we should expect him to suddenly score 15 goals.

But he does need to be much, much better with his end product. We also need to not be so reliant on him, and start playing him in his best position and not with Gray, because playing them together gets the best out of neither. That's on Lampard.

What's Steve Watson up to these days??

Problem is we don’t really have a great track record for improving youngsters once they get into the squad, infact they often seem to get worse and regress.

DCL being the obvious exception

We do have a good record of selling our best talent and watching their careers vanish in a flash.
Jeffers, rodwell, Barkley take a bow
(Rooney and stones have coped I guess)

Steve Watson started as a forward at Newcastle tbh

Steve Watson says hi.

 

[twoblue]

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.

Also surrounded with better players so it makes comparisons ridiculous.
Not as ridiculous as comparing any youngster to one of the best player to ever played the game.
Gordan is good… but where we are he is not irreplaceable.

 

[twoblue]

We should have known when he dyed his hair blonde

Agreed. He is definitely a player that should concentrate on football… he is not going to getting many modelling contracts

Please play against Forest Anto G. And get another motm. Give this people something to think about.

….thinking £50m+ is a good deal doesn’t mean you don’t rate Gordon. i’ve posted lots how he could get to the next level of elite footballers but that transition is open to debate & at this point in time the monies on offer seems more than fair, especially if invested in quality that secures our immediate future.

I’m sure we’ll all de delighted if Gordon wins the game for us tomorrow.
