2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[John96]

The Gordon of last season was a very good player, who worked very hard for the team in a fairly dire situation. He seemed hungry to prove himself and eager to learn.

The Gordon of this season has been a much lesser player, who regularly showed questionable attitude, while offering next to no quality on the ball. Lots of petulance has crept into his game with his back chat to refs and constant yellow cards, and his actions in the last week showed his lack of maturity.

We cannot have anyone in the dressing room who is not willing to fight until May. It's a good deal for the club, but we need to invest the money sensibly by Tuesday night. As for the player, he undoubtedly has a lot of talent, but unless he grows up, he won't make the most of it.

Like the rest of the squad, he wasn't being coached. Telling players to go and express themselves is not coaching.

COYB!

John.

£40m for a bang average player who has about 7 goals in 70-odd games is great business, although it should have been done at the start of the window not at the end.

Wouldn't surprise me if we spunk most of it on Andy Carrol and The Ox at 11.55pm deadline day though.

Zat told me we have 100m to spend, so you can stick your National news service up your bum.

This include the £50m we’re getting for Keane, Holgate and Doucoure?

Even when he was good he would regularly send corners behind the goal line

i've not seen many other top flight players do that

Anthony Gordon has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old forward leaves Everton after having submitted a formal transfer request.

Gordon joined the Club’s Academy at the age of 11 and made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in a Europa League tie in December 2017. He went on to make 78 First-Team appearances, scoring seven goals.

lol lol

 

[Nightman]

Nice of Dyche to personally drive the lad up to St. James Park.

 

[Librarian]

It's £60M by my calculation: £40M off Gordon and £20M the unspent Brereton-Diaz cash.

We need to see that spent on three players in the next two days or we're finished.

Minus about 10 down the sacked manager sinkhole

Was he, really? This isn't some form of post-departure slight on him or whatnot, but rather (as I've stated previously) I think his performances were overstated.

He worked hard, scored some important goals and became a focal point for the fans, but his performances weren't stellar - he was just better than most of the rest.

He has raw potential and may go on to be a good player in the game, yet there's no guarantee of that; equally, his attitude has rightly been questioned.

I'm not agreeing that he'll be in the Championship in a few years, although I think his £45m price tag will more likely than not be a heavy weight on his shoulders.

I thought he did very well for a young player in a woeful team in a relegation battle. I feel like he stood up to be counted when a lot of senior pros didn't.

This season a complete contrast. He wasn't interested in playing for Everton and his performances were rubbish, and he wasn't putting in a shift.

I'll thank him for what he did last season, but not this season because he let down the club.

I hope he's going to be a Franny Jeffers type of signing, but I dont see it. He'll be moving on up beyond Newcastle in the next few seasons.

I have no idea of the FFP rules as it relates to that. But I dont think it'll count.

I do not disagree with all of the above: his effort and attitude last year were commendable. Yet, my point is to with the overall quality of his performances.

 

[BluePeadar]

In the words of a massive bellend “He will be like a new signing”

Good feckin riddance absolute helmet of a chap

Employment costs, so definitely count towards profit and loss.
