Lush Vlad Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Do not want Gordon. Feel like he could be another flash in the pan. He’s looked good playing for a shit side. Because he runs around a lot and is direct and fearless. Seems like an absolute wanker on the pitch and a diving twat. Which I’m sure we suddenly wouldn’t mind as much if he signed. But would rather the money was spent on someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Fwiw I'd be happy and confident with whoever we went with because we have good people in recruitment now - just personally don't feel Gordon has shown enough to justify that fee and wouldn't feel confident of him adding significant end product in the immediate here and now (which is what we need).

Mattoon Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Happy with all the wingers we've been linked with. Admittedly Gordon is a bit of a deflating option after being linked to Diaby, however I do like Gordon's ability, I watched a lot of Evertons games in the run in last season and he was outstanding and a core reason they survived the drop. Yes, he's a diver and dirty player, but that was Everton's modus operandi last season and he bought into it. That's something that can be trained out of him. He's fast, direct and not scared to take a man on. He might not be the glamorous signing we all want but he is a good little player with untapped potential, plus we plunge Everton further down by buying up the only other decent player they had last season.

Chris_R Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I've only really watched Gordon against us, but he looked decent and quite threatening. Abhorrent cunt though, which I'd really struggle to overlook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 He's obviously better than him but he reminds me a bit of Callum McManaman when he broke through at Wigan. Eye catching because he's direct, fearless and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Struggling side so everything goes through him. However there's a lot of work needed in terms of end product and it really could go either way long term imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Seems like mixed feelings on Everton board. No one saying he is shite mind, simply acceptance that need to sell players other teams want and speculation of who/what they could get with the money vs. those who really rate his contribution.

When they get things right, yes.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Seems a bit mad going from Diaby to Gordon like. One's a left footed, goalscoring wide forward, the others a right footed, hard working winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 He’d add a bit of bite going forward but I kinda had my heart set on Diaby. Look at us though, getting picky over which £35m+ signing we’d like. I am absolutely here for all of this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Thought he looked annoyingly effective last season (he's the absolute feral epitome of Everton) but £35m would make me pretty nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I really like Gordon. Tenacious and a very talented young player. Doesn't hide, good close control just needs to improve his end product. Would like to see him signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Seems very coachable this lad, and looks like he has a great attitude and work ethic. I like him as a ball-carrier but he would need to improve his end product (the kid’s 20 so that should come). 35m seems on the high side but you’re paying for potential and PL experience. The fume from Everton fans would be delicious too. I’m in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 From what I saw of Everton last season, Gordon was literally the only threat they had in attack and the only one willing to bust a gut, he always seem to be the one making things happen. He's young too and has room to improve. Not against the signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
