30m is a great deal when you consider that Demarai Gray is a 2m footballer and is on a completely different level to Gordon.

they’re as bad as each other, except one does fancy footwork.
Both brain dead when it come to awareness of what to actually do

Still think Gordon is a potentially CL standard player. No arguments at all that he's been poor on the whole this season and some of that is on him, but some of that is down to poor coaching too. He's absolutely rapid, but the way we play is so slow and never gives him the opportunities to use his pace in behind teams.
I don't understand why we hold players who come through our academy to such a higher standard than others but Gordon is absolutely the latest. Seen people question his attitude and that's laughable IMO - it seems to be based on a perception of his body language.
Having said all of the above, I'd accept that if Newcastle or someone came in with a £30 million offer now, we'd have to take it - he isn't contributing this season anywhere near enough, we have Gray who plays the same role and Danjuma coming in who does the same and we are desperate for funds to give us the flexibility to make the signings which we need.

With our squad full of champions league players we should walk the championship
What makes you think this? Plenty of players have got pace. There are some in the Championship that are faster than him. It's what you do with that pace that counts - i.e. creating opportunities and scoring goals, neither of which he has proven he's capable of this season.

Gray has a considerably better output but I agree that doesn't mean he's particularly great.

The fact that Newcastle are still willing to pay 30 makes me believe that some of those higher bids in the summer were legit.
Absolutely farcical that we didn’t sell.

Sell for 30 and buy Adama for 10. You have just replaced his pace and lack of end product with 20 million to spare to buy an actual good player

Considerably better output? A pl record of 1 goal every 11 games and an assist record of 1 every 13 games and he’s 26, 27 at the end of the season.
Who cares about who has a better output when both would be unacceptable to a team like Norwich. Gray should never be starting games for us every week, neither should Gordon. End.

He plays great for England U21s, and is very fast. A good coach will make him a good player

They gave it to Frank and Thelwell instead which I think hasn’t improved the squad at all.
That is a spot on assessment tbh - though I’m not sure we’ll exactly miss his pace and lack of end product so maybe we just spend 30m on someone really good!

I just look at someone like Mudryk, less than a year apart in age, play in the same position but in ability levels the chasm is vast between them.
