2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[the golden visionary]

This thread sums up evertonians, here we have a young player who newcastle are looking at as they plan to build a squad to challenge and have identified him as a part of it, and Chelsea who are alot closer are interested, and instead of looking at it and thinking we might have a player we can build a team around, people here want to sell ASAP because everton lost a couple of games and he hasn't looked good being played out of position

Who?

Way above my pay grade, thankfully. I'm talking about the funds it would unlock.

If you judge him as a young player leading the line in the hardest league in the world for the first time, then yes, he did ok.

But as a player leading the line for Everton, I thought he did poorly and along with the majority of our attacking players failed to build attacks.

The first bit is more important than the second bit

Sorry, but we need to be more detached about this stuff sometimes

 

[Mosh Pit]

All I am saying is be fair and don’t massacre players for average performances, especially if they’re young

Young players should be graded on a curve, because they are still developing, so if a young lad goes in there and plays fine then that’s not grounds to slaughter them

Gordon has entered two average performances and people are going on like he was awful

There’s WAY more of ultra negativity than there is of OTT positivity

I don't understand how people are making out that this is all being based on TWO performances.

As a collective, our opinions of Gordon are based on everything we saw last year with him constantly in the starting 11.

As try as I might, I can not detach myself from Everton.

Don't you think the fact 2 clubs trying to break into the top are trying to sign him, this view is a little short sighted

 

[the golden visionary]

Ive supported Gordon fully.

I have doubts concerning his end product, but ive never said we should drop him, nor do I think we should sell him cheaply.

But every player has a price and we cant be turning down 50million for a player who MAY never become anything more than a hard working player.

Thats a good point and a proper counter to my point, even tho you never responded to it

Spot on

No, I really don't. We don't have the luxury of holding onto players because they might be really good in 2-3 years, we need quality now. The clubs after him do have that luxury.

 

[blulouie]

Think it's too late in the window for this

It defo isnt mate
2 & a half weeks to go , and there will be lists of players lined up.
There will be players we want but cannot afford , but a massive sale like that opens it up very quickly.

I didnt see your point mate, sorry.

What was it?

That's the club's fault, not his...

 

[catcherintherye]

…I agree. The thing for me is he gets himself in situations nobody else can do in our team because he can exploit space behind the opposition. Defenders won’t like facing him.

His issue is not exploiting the situations he creates for himself. If he did, we’d have some player on our hands.

I agree with you.

There is a world class potential player. Hes quick with and without the ball, goes past players easily, got a good spring, finds space in the area, has a reasonable shot. As you say, he doesnt put it all together yet. That's the gamble for anyone. It's not automatic.

As a centre back, I'd hate playing people who can time runs and get in between players as he does.

 

[Mrk]

That's the club's fault, not his...

And who's suggested otherwise?

 

[Mark barnett]

Like his attitude and willingness to keep on getting into those attacking positions that being said his shooting needs to improve drastically along with his passing
