Anthony Gordon



He's a very good player.

If you couldn't/can't see that maybe football's not for you.

Like every young player, he had a dip in form - playing for a terrible manager in a struggling team.

We didn't 'pull Newcastle's pants down', in fact the opposite is probably true.

Some of our fans are clueless.
I hope he gets the big move he wants. Seems a very sideways move from Everton to Newcastle. It worked initially with them finishing 4th but they are level 7th and Everton without the points deduction are level 10th. Very strange move to Newcastle tbh.

Ignore the fact it's Gordon, it clearly skews people's view.

Any player with a bit of ambition would choose Newcastle for career progression over Everton based on the turmoil of recent seasons. Newcastle are in a far stronger position than Everton who continue to circle the drain. I have no idea if Newcastle will challenge at the very top in the next couple of years but they're 100% a better option.

It's galling to type that. They're number two on my rancid list, only just behind our neighbours.

I didn't get the praise Gordon got in his time at Everton and it didn't bother me in the least when he was sold. As usual, certain sections of our support pinned their hopes on a youth player. A couple of deflected goals to boost his otherwise poor total, he went down way too easy and poor decision making. He was still hot and cold when he first went to Newcastle but you're seeing a far more consistent player this season who's contributed really well to the team.

One would hope our former Chairman (who insisted on being chief negotiator) had a sell on clause inserted in the deal but he's certainly worth a lot more than the fee he was sold for.

It's not just by accident he is the first England u21's player named player of the tournament, awarded at last summers u21 euros. There's a mild irony here, we got about 50% more in fee than we did for Rooney, now if Gordon goes on to have 50% as much success as Rooney he'll have gone very far indeed.
This summer will see some of the usual full england internationals bow out, and then a new era of england players is born in full.
English player, stand out for his age, left foot, lots of ability, earned a bit of experience? I'm happier with Branthwaite.
