SUPERTOON Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 11 minutes ago, KaKa said: Yes, of course, because the manager himself doesn't know what players are good for his own team. The way some folks are carrying on man. Yikes. Everyone on here was losing their minds over getting Paqueta over the summer, and look at the state of him at West Ham. I don't understand why so many think they know what a good player even is. We watch these players (Gordon and Mctominay) week in week out, we can form a very well informed opinion based of that imo.

Where have I said anything towards how shit our players are? You strike me as one of those who overreacts and starts arguing about nothing while being alone in an elevator. I like all our players and think they have done wonderfully well. This doesn’t mean that I don’t see room for improvement. It doesn’t mean that I think our players are shite, neither have I mentioned anything like this. I don't even know what you're going on about at this point My original post was about people complaining about McTominay and Gordon being shit and not good enough and Howe should be aiming higher. But, if those are the players he sees something in for the team he's building, then that's up to him. What they've done at Man United and Everton isn't really that relevant and they'll have to be judged on what they do for Newcastle and Howe. No idea why your claiming I said that you referred to our players as shit! Where on Earth have you pulled that from?! You've completely lost me man.

Yeah, I know that. Much like the opinion so many had on Joelinton. Sometimes that opinion isn't right. All I'm saying is if Howe does end up getting one or both just take a deep breath and don't get too down about it, because I can see that's where it's heading for a fair few on here. I think Howe has earned the leeway to get the players he wants, if indeed he is even in for this lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) We will always be linked with tons of players, and most of them will be mentioned on here. Surely people can air their opinion on X particular player. Whether it’s positive or negative. iF we actually sign X names player then I’d like to think most will give them a chance. Until then I think they can say whatever they think without anyone moaning about them not liking a player for us, even when the player hasn’t even signed.

I won’t, I’ll get behind both 100%, however I think it’s fair for people to not rate either based on how much we have seen them play. Btw I don’t think Gordon is a terrible player, i just feel we could do a lot better for the price mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Shak said: Any chance that Gordon might be a good player and just not suited to the way Everton play? Possibly. But i've never seen it in him. I wasn't overly hot on Paqueta before he joined West Ham. But I think he looks a real talent that is ill-suited to West Ham at best and not suitable for the league at worst. But he wants to get on the ball, pass it forward, nice angled passes to break lines, move and receive it back to build play. Like ok I get what kind of player he's trying to be. The amount of time he spends out of possession doesn't suit him. Gordon? I see a willing runner with a bit of pace. That's it. I'm sure many see the same thing. I trus Eddie and the transfer team but they aren't infallible and we are entitled to our opinions. 13 minutes ago, Rich said: What are people expecting in the final week, then?

A couple of signings to sustain a CL push. I would love someone capable of playing in a 8/10 role, receiving balls from Bruno to play it into attackers. And then a wide forward.

The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 One thing I love about Arsenal. Partey and Zinchenko. Constantly getting on the ball and zipping it between the lines. Then have Odegaard and Xhaka who can play excellent balls from a more advanced position, we lack those players entirely. And then they have the wide players with quality 1v1 or can continue the attack through passing. We have those players but not the level of quality, we need one more.

Weezertron Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 positions aside, I'd take Gordon over McTominay. Ironically, I see McTominay as an Everton type player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager sees something in them though, and we somehow land either, lets back his judgement. In my opinion though, I doubt we actually get either of them, because neither club will ever sell for a reasonable fee, and I can't see us overpaying for them.
