nemtizz Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 He wouldn’t be my first choice either but he’s young, great work rate and has a decent eye for goal. Not saying every play we sign will be a success but you’d be insane not to trust Howe and co. Understandable not to like him before joining us but to genuinely be upset at this you’re a weirdo.

LiquidAK Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Trust those in charge that they know what they’re doing. Would be lying if I wasn’t a bit concerned about the fee and that tying us up in regards to future spending mind. Hopefully a few weeks with Eddie will leave this looking like a masterstroke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Not sure Ashworth would have a lot to do with identifying Gordon as a target ? He doesn’t actually scout the players does he ? More negotiation of fees, contracts etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 REMINDER - you cannot know what it means for our FFP situation without knowing the contract length. 5 year deal - 8m/yr in FFP 6 year deal - 6.7m/yr 7 year deal - 5.7m/yr 8 year deal - 5m/yr Wait until we see the contract to know for sure.

SEMTEX Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 He's a tall, young, energetic shithouse who knows how to win free kicks and roll on the ground. He's basically the prototype for what Eddie is turning the team into. Sounds like he can't finish for toffee either, so he'll fit in perfectly.

Ste Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 He'll come here with a massive chip on his shoulder for the way it's ended for him there, and with a big point to prove. It's all up to him, he's going to get some incredible coaching and join a team on the up, I'd be buzzing as a footballer with any kind of potential.

Chelsea level spend, I'm fine with the punt, but if its going to cost us a Maddison down the road or a reasonable priced forward now not so much.

Ameritoon Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Nothing to do now but hope Howe can help him see his potential. Would've never thought about us signing him, let alone for that price. But there's obviously something there people way smarter than me see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're delighted he's gone and think its sensational business for them. Guess we'll find out if he's as mediocre as they say.

Looking through an entirely different lens now, all that tells me is that he's going to fit right in. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if "is a proper cunt" is toggled 'on' when Howe is filtering. Just look at that Caleta-Car business at Southampton, we're a team of thoroughly dislikable people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Christ almighty, we are signing a player that was a nightmare to deal with for a large part of last season, when he was being well coached and only seemed to go down hill when fat frank took over, have people suddenly forgotten the last 15 years?

But the evidence suggests Gordon is our main man for this January.. ahead of other business. We could have a Isak or Bruno type breaking news I just think we have players we like, across lots of different positions and across different levels of team importance i.e. first team, squad player, young prospect etc. I think once a deal becomes feasible for any of them we make a move. That's how I see things working anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
