Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

Gordon has immense potential. Talented, fast, okay he’s a bit of a twat but I have complete confidence Eddie would sort him out. Can’t believe the negs on here for him. If, and I still think it’s a big “if” he comes, he’ll be an exciting addition and in six months he’ll be a popular player for us ….. that’s my prediction and opinion anyway.

Nee idea if he’ll sign or not, but if Howe thinks Gordon’s a good signing for us, that’ll do for me.

 

Besides, Howe is all about balance - and we need some *ahem* normal looking gents in that team for balance.  Wilson and Schar are, as Pete Baynham would tell us, too gorgeous

I think my biggest issue with Gordon is that I wouldnt tire of punching his face.

 

Everyone in our starting 11 plays with a smile on their face and enjoys their football. Gordon plays with a frown and a snarl and his antics on the pitch reflect it. It makes him incredibly difficult to warm to and even begin to appreciate if there is a decent player underneath.

Has he actually done anything, aside from appear to be a bit of a worky ticket twat on the field, that would suggest there is any kind of problem with his character?


Don’t think so, comes across as a fairly normal scouse kid in the limited interviews I’ve seen him give.

All the comments in favour of Gordon seem to be about his speed and attitude, nothing about his technical ability. I don’t see us being in for him, I think the agents of certain British based players at shit teams are using desperate journalists(who lack foreign contacts) to drum up interest in the clients.

I reckon they may sell him for £25m-£30m. May be worth a punt. If Howe can work his magic he becomes a £60m player in 12 months, if not then we’ll probably get our money back from West Ham.

Add 10m to that and I think you are right. Problem is they turned down a 50m bid for him less than 6 months ago. I don't see them being able to sell him for too much less than that, undisclosed fee or not!

On a wider issue, part of me wonders if the club has actually been leaking stories about players we may be "interested" in, as a way of disguising our real targets. No one seems to have any clue about who our real targets are.

The thing about all this Gordon talk is, if Howe and I suppose Ashworth and our clearly mint scouting team think Gordon is worth going for now, from what they've done so far I'll change my stance on him if we sign him. I mean from what I've seen I absolutely dont want him, last season there were sparks and he's extremely direct so there's probably a player there, but he's not excelled to me. But I'm no where near as clued up as them. So its a weird one, I dont feel like I have any right what so ever to question things atm. But I dont like him :lol:
