2022/23 Anthony Gordon

The sell on clause is interesting for me mate, that’s new from us, that’s Kev I think.

Didn't see we had one of those, but good if so.

Is that a clause on profit, because if so I doubt we’ll see any if it when he’s sold to Bournemouth for £5 million in a few years

He won’t be missed.

Genuinely think he’s absolutely bang average, and I guess it’s down to him to prove us all wrong now.

Even if he still comes good, £40m is outrageous for a gamble and there will be no remorse for me, if he comes good.

He isn't even average right now. This fee is entirely potential and we're not in a position to gamble that kind of money on potential.

We can reinvest that in two or three players with similar upset now. A much smarter hedging of our bets.

However it won't go like this because Thelwell isn't given full control and Dyche will want to waste money on somebody that isn't sensible.

2.5 times his value so as long as the whole lot is spent on the squad it's a great deal.

Its not about Dyche, kopite Kev can waste money without any help.

 

[riddick]

Im curious what his eventual bird(....or.....whatever the male version is?) he winds up with. It'll probably look like Tom Davies.

There's overwhelming evidence to show that, hard to believe he spent actual money putting together the current squad we have.

I still think the right manager can get a tune out of McNeil and Maupay.

You have more faith than I do, I really hope they can do something though.

 

[Rob17896]

It is, but he is definitely capable of so much more if we played him the right way. He is a player suitable for counter attack and quick football, asking him to break apart a stiff crowded backline with slow build is beyond his capability at this point of his career. It affected his confidence and the confidence of the entire team because no one is capable of Lampard’s approach.

Even when he was making an effort I just thought no substance. It is all a guess but never impressed.

 

[john jako]

@blueloon how do you feel that you sponsored the thread of this sausage?

Didn't specifically say profit so presume not.

 

[Goat]

Maybe not both at the same.

I think they are both pretty average players, but so far they havent even been average.

 

[CrustySack]

I'd be amazed if he turned out to be a £40 million player. I just don't see it. His attitude stinks as well so all in all it's a very good piece of business.
