The College Dropout

You can’t be a 10 in this era if you can’t engineer a bit of space for yourself. He’s got a load of attributes that he needs to refine with regular game time.

I don’t think that’s ever been Moyes style. Particularly when safe.

Faster than everyone and unlimited stamina?

Aye there would have been a release clause and he would be off anyway. He and his agent have been extremely aggressive in engineering the move away from Bournemouth. We aren’t bringing in those types of characters.

Doesn’t seem much of a dribbler/ carrier

No

Can get a Brazilian international, more CL experience, similar age, much more technical ability for £60m is it? You mention Eze - his price point would be £60m too. He’s older but Rashford would be available for peanuts although the wages will be high. Think Gordon is a £50-£60m player unless Chelsea want him again. But yeh he’s a great fit for us and this is a squad game. we need 5 top quality options for our front 3 - minimum. 4 isn’t good enough.

I don’t think comparing him to a Ballon D’Or winner will do him favours. Let him mature his own game. Let’s hope he gets loads of minutes next season with us or on loan.

I don’t think that alone is enough in the PL anymore. Especially when losing a game. You got to penetrate with the passing. If you don’t, you should be impactful off the ball. Lewis Shelly a couple times tried or pulled off really forward thinking balls. It’s easier from fullback but we need Miley to get the confidence to really impose himself on games.

I’d start Willock over Miley. Willock is better suited to an early high press game

Yep he’s an excellent fit for Eddie and our team. But he’s no better than Eze or Cunha, no reason for a club to pay £20m more for Gordon. Gordon isn’t even consistent with the work rate which is a differentiator from those types of players.

What makes people think a club would pay £80m for Gordon?

He doesn’t

Rather he start Willock against Everton than Miley

I need to see something different from him mentally. Maybe it will come one day.

So frustrating when he blazes those opportunities over the bar and wide. At least force a save man.

That’s where he needed the game pretty much

Moisey is a patriot too. He’ll want us in there instead of those foreigners. Play some kids David.

What’s the point in doing that? Moyes is a cautious manager but he’s not an overly defensive one. Last game of the season. Nothing to play for. They’ll try to keep the crowd quiet but they won’t go full lockdown

Think Everton will come to play tbh. We’ll beat them 2-0.

Yeh agreed. He wasn’t any good either

Some excellent crossing and meaningful pressing. Would’ve liked to have seen us chuck it up to his feet or chest a few times and see how he fared. Needs minutes this lad.

He’s great at that. But he needs to show more for me. Neat and tidy on the ball that’s it. He’s a big lad now, sometimes run with it. Overall as you say composed on the ball. Helped tick things over. Didn’t make a Meaningful impact tho

Thought he was ok.

Agreed. We wouldn’t get a crazy fee for him anyway
