2022/23 Anthony Gordon

I only watched second half, but I thought he was awful. We need standards at this club and that was simply unacceptable. All he needs to do is knock it past the goalkeeper and tap it in and he did that... I have no words for how poor that was
Was much better in the first half to be fair...looked tired in the second half. Unfortunately he is our only threat at the moment with gray...no Gordon or gray, then no goals/assists...
 

Frank Lampard has reiterated his desire to keep Anthony Gordon but admitted the Everton forward’s future will be decided on both a football and business level.

Everton, who are close to signing attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus from Ajax, rejected a bid of around £45m from Chelsea for the 21-year-old on Monday and maintain the academy graduate is not for sale. “We are not looking at it as ‘Where can we go with this deal?’” insisted Lampard

“It has to be a joined-up say so. When you’re talking about the level of player Anthony is and the value of the player, we know what those kind of players go for in the modern day if there was ever to be these sort of transfers.

“It’s a serious situation on a football level and a club business level, simple as that. If you can join those two up and make the right decision, I will always consider the football one the most important because that is what my job will be judged on. Anthony Gordon is a fantastic player for us and that is why my answer is what it is.”

Gordon has not pushed for a move to Chelsea and represents the kind of talent, and character, that Lampard wants to construct a team around at Everton. “I did it at Chelsea,” the manager said. “I brought loads of young players into the team and now they want to take one of my young players. Maybe there is the irony of it.

“The reality is, if you play at a high level as Anthony did last season, there may be interest. But Anthony is still a young man, not finding his way exactly as he is in the team now, but he will have ambitions to improve parts of his game this year, international ambitions, all those things.

“That will come for Anthony so I think it is understandable that people may be interested in players like that, that’s the way the world works. But I am here as an ambitious young coach myself, so I want to be able to have the best, strongest team and personnel available because I get judged on that. Every coach does. Fortunately, at times you will be as good as your players and Anthony Gordon is a very good player.”
 
I just wish he was part of a decent team like when Moyes here. He's basically asked to carry the players and he's one of the most inexperienced in the side.

£50m might be a good offer given what he's done but who do we replace him with? More Dwight McNeill type signings?
