Hank Marvin Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Newcastle United would be the making of Anthony Gordon. I saw it in the Merseyside derby last year, despite it being a draw, I saw him skin & shithouse his way right under Liverpool's skin. It made me smile. He's a terrier. He never shuts up and he never stops. Not until recently. It's testament to Everton & Frank Lampard's incompetence that they've failed to direct his latent potential. Channelled in the right direction, under a smart & tactful manager (know anyone who fits that bill eh?!), he'd be vicious little weapon. Our weapon. He's 21. He has pace coming out his massive ears. A venomous tongue that would make a mamba blush. He's talented. And he has drive. A prophetic vision or perhaps a wild, miserable failure of a prediction it may be... But there's something about this lad that I see flourishing into a great player under us. Whatever transpires - And nothing may come of it, I don't think anyone should be so quick to write him off because the genius that is Farhad Moshiri and Frank Lampard have failed to bring his promise to bloom. A lucky escape from a sinking ship for him? A lucky cut price deal for a young, homegrown, potential gem for us, while other previous potential suitors have moved on? Lucky me, lucky you? Maybe. ?

Not going to lie, despite Almirons form this season, having Gordon and Almiron as our wingers is a pretty depressing thought for a side looking to really challenge.

The Prophet Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Gordon would depend on the price. He's quick, decent off both feet and grafts his bollocks off. There's definetly a good player in there under a decent coach. He's probably not worth any more than £30 million though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 18 minutes ago, Andy said: Think Howe could turn Gordon into a good player personally. He has something, but is never going to look a player in that Everton team under Lampard. It's like judging the likes of Miggy under Bruce. Pretty much agree with this, he’s 21 and already a first team regular. I think there is definitely a player there. He’s having to be the talisman for a side in constant chaos at that age. Better coaching and getting away from that toxic mess could be just the tonic for him. Im a bit worried that Everton will still want ridiculous money.

Playing in a crap Everton team under a useless manager are not making it easy. They are clearly looking at the potensial. Also going off what my Everton mate is saying, said he'd drive him up here tomorrow and that Gray and Onana are the only two players with any credit in the bank from this season for them atm. Should be avoiding Everton players like the plague. Obviously if Howe wants him then I have to trust him, he's done more than earn that. But going from talk of Maddison, Diaby, Trossard et al to Anthony Gordon is incredibly underwhelming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 You'd want a Maddison type player for £50m really. Especially when looking for someone to impact the remainder of the season. Gordon could be shaped into a decent player but he's horribly out of form and is extremely raw at his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The reason Howe put "If it's in Gordon, I'll find it" is, if he wastes good time and money looking for it, and he sees it's definitely not in Gordon, the Howe doesn't wanna be sued 'cos Gordon hasn't got it. So the PIF aren't gonna get him on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
