He has looked absolute dross this season. Second half of last season he looked like he was starting to understand how to use his pace and constant running to pin opposition full backs back, and make dangerous runs into the box. I do think Howe and his team could turn him into a useful player to have. That being said, the man is a little rat-faced cunt who attempts to wind players up constantly, and throws himself to the floor at the sniff of a challenge trying to win a free kick or pen. If he did sign (which I don't think he will, this is all Casey BS), it will take a looooong time to grow to even like the guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 So a bit of pace and an engine? Decent ability but nothing outstanding. That's all I ever saw in Henderson and Milner at a similar age tbf. Both improved but neither are best as wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 If Howe is happy to push for him then that's enough for me, every signing so far has been from a thought out process and arguably the least successful (Wood) has still proved fruitful.

Mazzy Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Someone's coming, we know they wouldn't have let Wood leave if there wasn't an almost certainty we'd have a replacement. Cant see it necessarily being a like for like positional replacement for Wood. An extra CM or a player who can play across the front 3 is more likely I think. I'd be surprised if we do sign the 18yr old lad from Brazil that he'd be the only signing. We'd need someone who can get into the team sooner than later if needed.

tom1988 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I really can't see there being much difference in the cost of Gordon vs. the cost of Maddison and I know which one I would rather have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I wouldn't pay more than 20 mil for Gordon, but it's also worth remembering that he's only 20 this year. Get him in as a bench player, coach him on focus, concentration and finishing, demand that he cut out the moaning, diving and general cuntishness, bring him in later on in matches, and he'd be a useful replacement for Fraser.

Coffee_Johnny Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Apologies for posting as no substance, but it at least whets the appetite: “NEWCASTLE READY TO MOVE THROUGH NINE-MAN LIST Newcastle have been quiet so far this month but that could all change in the last 11 days of the window. The Telegraph has been told by a ‘well-placed source’ that the Magpies are ‘getting their ducks lined up’ and they have been doing checks on a nine-man transfer list. We already know it includes Ziyech as one of three Chelsea players. Anthony Gordon remains a target despite a miserable season so far with Everton, while their list of midfielders features Youri Tielemans, Ruben Neves and Scott McTominay. James Maddison is also still on Toon’s radar but it seems the Leicester star isn’t quite as keen to move to the North East. Elsewhere, the Daily Mail says Newcastle have submitted a £13.5million offer for 18-year-old Flamengo forward Matheus Franca, while El Nacional claims they are one of two teams eyeing a move for Real Madrid veteran Luka Modric, with Inter Milan also keen on the Croatia star.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I watched last season, there's definitely a player in there somewhere who is suffering at a club that is imploding and playing for a shit manager. I wouldn't pay anywhere near £50m for him mind, but definitely worth a punt for half of that. Yeah, at least if we sign him, he'll be our irritant, not anyone else's, which makes all the difference. I'm not sure exactly what's happened at Everton, but he's a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure exactly what's happened at Everton, but he's a good player. I've never been a fan of us signing Gordon but the thought of adding an another player who seems to excel at winding up the opposition does make it slightly more appealing and like you say the fact he'd be our irritating little cunt if it did happen, i reckon i could get onboard with it if he's who Howe wants.

STM Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I'm well in the minority but I've always liked Gordon. He's always one the better players when we play them. He's young. He grafts his arse off. He's versatile. He's an absolute little rat (good if he's on your team). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be good in Howes press setup, which is why I wouldn't rule it out and see why we're linked, but I don't think he has enough creativity to push us on. He's better than Murphy & Fraser, if we can shift them and condense into him then great, but even with his and his clubs stock dramatically fallen I still think it'll be far too expensive for what we'd get in return. We've just corrected the over pay on wood, let's not do it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
