Anthony Gordon (now playing for FC Barcelona)

[Pablo]

I think he will have a good career whether he stays or goes.

I also think he will have a poor end to the season. With a possible big move and a world cup on the horizon I just don’t see him focussed or willing to go for 50/50s. He’s actually more likely to get injured backing out of challenges and being halfhearted, which will ruin his possible move.

 

get the maximum money possible and reinvest and go again. Let’s not talk down the price of every player we sell.

I just can't see him going for 80m unless he has a good WC. I think teams will rather shop and find other alternatives. I can't think of any team that needs him.

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Might not have specifically pushed for the move but he certainly isn't interested in putting the effort in on the pitch.

Everyone bar City will have good use of him.

[Yorkie]

If we have any agency at all in deciding who stays or goes, the thing with Gordon, Tino and Bruno is that none of them are going to be in a position to complete a transfer until the end of June at the earliest. That's problematic to our summer planning.

 

This doesn't apply to Tonali of course and you wonder if we might search for a deal to be made in his case, thereby: making at least one sale broadly on our own terms; kick-starting our own recruitment; and strengthening our position for any future negotiation for the likes of Gordon. 

 

So if Man Utd turn up in the first week of June with a competitive offer Tonali, I wonder if we just take the deal.

 

The presence of a saga completely neutered us in last summer's market and you'd expect priority number one will be to avoid that happening again. (Impossible if players are going to behave like Isak, mind.)

 

People will say we need to buy early, well we probably need to sell even earlier, if possible.

Gordon's not exactly Lamine Yamal, but he will give you pace, some goals and win you some pens. To get better, you really have to spend a lot of money, or have very good scouts. Otherwise you end up blowing your wad on Anthony Elanga and wondering where the money went. 

Transfer market doesn't lie

And quite obviously sulked for most of last season over the Liverpool situation.

Or just hold players to their contracts. If we really want these players to stay, then we only really need to sell Tino as he is out of contract in 2028.

 

If we want to sell players who aren't sold on the project any more, then we should do so on our terms. I think we bottled it with Isak because Jamie Rueben bent over by going to his house to beg him to stay.

Gordon will apply himself at his new club and have a good first season then as soon as things don't go his way he'll revert to type I.e. getting in his own head, thinking he's elite when he isn't (by footballer standards), blaming others, kicking off, not tracking back, being greedy, etc.

 

You can count on one hand Gordon's "Good" games this last year (from the Carabao Cup Final) to now. He's by and large been average to poor.

 

 

 

Yeah. I’ve got more time for him than some, I think, but I expect this is how it will go. Looking forward to seeing him attempt to shoot and fall over without making contact wearing a different club’s colours.

 

My primary issue with this is that it basically leave us with Barnes as our only effective attacking player.

[AJ9]

Of all the players I’d take leaving to fund a rebuild Gordon would be the one I’m most ok with

[J7]

I’m not sure he even sulks. It’s just like he finds it hard to get up for some games and he needs the pressure of a big game or stage to perform. You sometimes see in the ‘lesser’ games where he’s performing terribly, then makes a lung busting back track and strong tackle to try and prove he’s interested. 

[The Prophet]

It'd be a shame to lose him, but it's felt on the cards since the PSR farce.

[SUPERTOON]

Hope we got for Nusa to replace him.

I think Nusa will have many suitors. Some who can probably blow us out the water on wages.

[Chicken Dancer]

Probably in the minority here but I’d be quite gutted if we lost him. We’d really miss his output, including penalties.

Sorry; who was the bald cunt on twitter who claimed just yesterday that Gordon thinks he’s ’outgrown the club’?

 

It is one of the wonders of the age that the gaslighting cunt is listened to by anyone

Selling in June would be crackers given how PSR works

[Ketsbaia]

Gordon has a high opinion of himself, like  

 

Hopefully we can fleece a club for £80-90m, before happily waving goodbye. 

 

Apart from the Champions League - where the anthem is like a dog whistle to him - he's been underwhelming for a long, long time.

Can you define technical ability please?

 

(That isn't meant to be arsey btw. Just curious...)

 

Cause I completely disagree he is a technically good footballer. His passing and shooting and crossing are all average at best - which are elements that I consider to be technical. Even his dribbling isn't exactly that skillful. His best tools are his acceleration and his penalty taking.

 

 

 

I think Bayern fans should be expecting a style of player, and person, they are familiar with. Gordon to my mind is a slightly worse version of Leroy Sané. Five years younger, following a similar, slightly lower level, career path, leaving a similar whiff of underachievement (relevant to their apparent attributes/personal potential) in their wake.

I also think that the pair of them in developing a thick enough skin to deal with the inevitable hot and cold fan reactions to their style of play, have lost a bit of their true selves along the way, their self-protective ego creating a callousness and distance which makes them seem, and probably feel, unauthentic. 

[Whitley mag]

Our best winger despite his faults and would leave us with Elanga, Murphy and Barnes.  Ideally we would be adding to Gordon and letting one of the other 3 leave this summer.

 

Those 3 wingers reek of a team fighting relegation, dangerous times ahead if summer trading doesn’t go well.

 

Unfortunately, the players look stale and it’s another reason should these last 6 games go badly, a new manager is a must in the summer for me.

 

The whole club feels stale and needs a major shot in the arm through a change in direction.

Totally agree on the new manager, I personally just think it's time for a new chapter and when the new manager comes in then I feel then anyone who wants to go should go as far as I'm concerned.

I’m not attached to him as a player really, but our attack looks awful without him. At least 2 attackers needed, ideally 3. 
 

Also selling our most high profile player 2 years in a row isn’t a great look.
