So, he Has to be there to tap them in, when does gray score tap ins? That says to me Gordon is more switched on around the box and looking to follow things in and get to the back post, how many city goals a season are in the 6yrd box.

Yes, but I don't think it will come as a shock to anyone that other teams have better scouting networks and recruitment teams than we do.
leeds paid about 4 mil rising to maybe 10 for this guy

everyone hits the buffers with us. I cant se him doing much at Newcastle though. But I am often wrong.
They seem to be getting a tune out of the likes of Almiron , Joelinton & moreso Longstaff.
So it could be a good move for the lad.

Switched on around the box? How many tap ins has Gordon scored? One? Doesn’t really suggest he’s that switched on around the box.

Each day we pick out a player and cut through the noise to give analytical, objective insight. Friday's focus is on Anthony Gordon.
Seven goals and eight assists means a goal involvement every 0.19 games. An attacking player contributing in less than one in every five games is often a cause for concern.
While a look at Gordon's numbers on the surface leave a lot to be desired, the context of Everton's struggles are key here when making judgement.
Only Demarai Gray (1.9) sees more shots per game than Gordon (1.6) in the Premier League, while his 0.26 xG average per match is also the leading figure of any Toffee in England's top-flight.
Direct scoring is clearly an area where he excels, with creativity falling on the short side of expectation. His 0.6 successful dribbles per game is lower than four starters for Everton and he finds himself way down the list for times fouled (0.9 per game - 7th among regular players).
Just 0.5 key passes per game is less than a third of what his team mate Alex Iwobi is producing (1.6), but Gordon deserves huge credit for defensive metrics that surpass those of players in any back line.
He's seeing 2.1 tackles per Premier League contest, while his 1.3 fouls number is the third-highest in this group.
When it comes to attacking players in the tackles metric, only Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister (2.8), Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes and West Ham's Lucas Paqueta (both 2.2) have seen more - but a reminder here of that trio's more central position on the pitch.
He sits in the 99th percentile on FBRef for tackles won, tackles in the mid 3rd, blocks and passes blocked - highlighting the significant attributes he can bring in a forward line that plays to these strengths.
From a direct goal perspective, Gordon needs far more production, but his defensive work rate and desire to press from the front makes him an attractive prospect for many clubs.

I think he’s scored the majority of his goals inside 12 yards. Unlike gray

He has scored 7 goals in the premier league for everton.
Two of them deflected from outside the box. (United, Brighton)
One - a good finish v Brighton
One where a richarlison shot v leeds just hit his ankle.
2 where he has slotted one v one (Brentford and leeds)
1 tap in v palace
I don’t think he is a goal scorer, certainly not a natural one. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tuchel would have turned him into a decent wing back (as the rumours were at the time).
I hope danjuma is an upgrade on both Gordon and grey. But if an offer comes in for 30million for Gordon now it’s a no brainer.

Each day we pick out a player and cut through the noise to give analytical, objective insight. Friday's focus is on Anthony Gordon.
Despite being just 21, Anthony Gordon has already made 78 appearances for Everton - emerging as an exciting prospect and quickly becoming the Toffees' most valuable asset.

Am I seeing things, or is that trying to make out that him fouling with more than 50% of his tackles is a positive attribute?
So there was no money for new signings...rumours of incomings now that we have rumours outgoings.
I don't see the hype in the lad myself but hope he comes good. If he does, I doubt it will be for Everton, I would imagine he can't wait to get out after being hunted down last week.

Bit like Gray, all the pace in the world and no end product. He doesn’t have particularly quick feet, technique or dribbling ability. He’s a kick it and run meister, that is his one truly elite level ability. Not much to fall back on, he’ll always be a bad hamstring injury from being a greatly reduced player. Same as lots of other roadrunners like Walcott, Townsend. Don’t think we’re in a position to keep him and see how he turns out - sell unfortunately and get someone in for the now.
