Ameritoon Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'd worry that a lot of praise Gordon got last season was simply because he was one of two EFC players noticeably playing for the shirt. Wasn't overly impressive to me outside of his effort, but obviously there's something about him that's gotten him to this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's full of energy and looks like a fierce competitor which are both great attributes for a wide player. But it's all about end product when you are a forward, and I wouldn't want to be paying £35m on a player hoping he will produce that year in year out.

kingxlnc Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This whole Gordon thing is worryingly like Andy Carroll who was also coming off the back of one good half season. We all know how that ended up. We don’t know if Gordon is professional enough etc to maximise his potential so it all seems a bit too much too soon. With Ekitike you could make a case for to beat off the competition and also because he plays for a tiny club in France who he is not necessarily loyal to so is bound to move elsewhere. Whereas with Gordon he already plays for the club he loves, is going to be overpriced English tax, plus not enough data beyond a good half season. I know Howe likes his Brits, if so I’d rather he sign Hudson Odoi as we’ve seen more from him over the years. Sarr seems an obvious alternative to Diaby though, not sure why we’re not all over that.

Think someone nailed it early with the Bellamy comparison. Seems a knob but he’s only going to get better. Bit of Grealish about him as well? Would be nice to sign an attacking English player on the way up like that, probably not signed one of that reputation since Dyer, Jenas, Milner… Edited July 6, 2022 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 If anybody has taken real notice of the Diaby youtube videos, and his assists (not all of them great), you can see what an unbelievable finisher Patrick Schick is!! He would be worth lining up for next year or a nice chrissie present Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's supported his homophobic international teammate. Although obviously our owners don't have a great record there, that's probably not the sort of publicity they want.

Cronky Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Gordon strikes me as a versatile player who could do a variety of roles, so I think he'd be a good signing. Doesn't look like Everton will sell though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
