2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[allen]

That's great, he probably will get better. But we need help now and we don't have the finances to risk him not getting better.

I’m not debating whether or not we should sell him.

I’m pulling up the aggro dolts who say he’s as good as he’ll ever be (and according to them that’s not very good).

As far as I’m concerned, we don’t need to sell him. But if we do, we do.

Finishing can be a natural skill though, that's the concern. His attempt at the death yesterday was just really bad

Its 50 50 if he develops in front goal. Some players do but lots dont.

It's a natural skill, but can be improved. Gordon's shots are already better than last year.

As for that chances, he had 2/3 options, had Henderson not rushed out he would have taken the right one. One of them.

I dont get that thinking at all.

1) Hes 21
2) Hes been on a sharp improvement curve over the last 12-18 months.

He may plateau, but would seem very unlikely.

Has he?

 

[Ferguson1878]

Isn't it a shame we need to sell 2 of our big 3 attackers in order to be able to make signings...

I've been very optimistic recently, but starting to realise, we've set ourselves back years with our decisions since Moshiri came in.

Started long before he came in mate

Chelsea be offering Newcastle 600m for Maximan after today.

They wont. Nobody will ever offer 50%of what Gordon has already had offered for him, as hes just not as good.

 

[Saaby]

Only utter clowns think he’s hit his ceiling.

Only utter clowns think he will be worth anymore than 50m in the future.

 

[catcherintherye]

Has he?

Is that a serious question?

12-18 months ago he couldn't get into Preston's team.

Are you serious?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Has he?

If you understand football then the only answer to that is, yes.

Utter clowns, like the pros at Chelsea, who get paid huge money to make these calls?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Is that a serious question?

12-18 months ago he couldn't get into Preston's team.

Are you serious?

Ok the last 12 months though? Is he really better now than he was the start of last year?

I'm seriously asking, for me there really isn't a whole lot different about how he plays.

He’s clearly got the hunger to improve.

Once you’re at his level, dedication (and luck - which there is no accounting for) is basically all you need.

The stuff in this thread is astonishing. And 90% of it gets ignored, while no doubt someone will get the hump with me saying not getting in the Preston team to now has seen no improvement. Just madness.

No one has bid 50 million. We won’t get 50 million if we sell him this window.

Well I wrote 12-18 months for a reason.

I'm bewildered you even ask.

Even 12 months ago, he wasnt even in our team.

But yes, he has improved from the player who couldn't get into Preston's team, quite obviously.
