Pretty sure Barca doesnt have the money.

 

Aye probably pay £5 million a year for 20 seasons, dont they still owe Leeds £40 million for Raphinha ?

Wherever he goes he'll have a good year or 18 months and then realise outside of the occasional CL games or Clasicos that he's bored not being on the telly playing against Augsburg or Leganes and want to go somewhere else.

Shows the state of attacking players currently in the game that half of Europe's elite could all be after Gordon, like :lol:

Or the state of our fanbase when we decide to turn on a player on some random made up stuff

I have no doubt Gordon could go to either of those clubs and kill it like. His problem here has always been about his application and consistency rather than his talent.

 

At those clubs it's clear what the aim is every season so it wouldn't surprise me if he was fired up for every match like he was here in 23/24.

 

Either way his time here is up and has been for a while.

I think he will do a lot lot better at Bayern than Barca.

He's a good player, one of our better players for sure, but i don't see him ever reaching that elite level.

 

I'm not too disappointed to sell him, particularly given we're going to get a good fee for him

 

Can see him being an in/out player for both Barca or Bayern who does well in spurts but never reaches the top numbers.

 

Good impact sub for either with his pressing and pace on the counter but his ego would despise that tag.

He'll look one of the best players in Europe playing for the best team in Germany or Spain. His Champions League performances will likely be the norm as he's against worse opposition every week.

I think Gordon’s really underrated by some of our fans, honestly. Replacing him would be far from straightforward imo; players with that combination of pace, work rate and relentless pressing in the final third are pretty rare.
 

Even when the numbers aren’t quite there, he still stretches teams and suits the way we play down to the ground. There’s a reason why top top clubs are high on the guy.

Spot on.

 

He'll be able to carry on as he was here, getting highly motivated for the really big games and England but coasting through the others. His coasting through will be more than enough to register decent numbers.

 

Think overseas refs will be more sympathetic to his erm, slippery feet than some over here are.

I agree that he's underrated but at the same time I'm frustrated by how his career here has gone. If he could somehow consistently play his best and maybe play for the team more he would be brilliant. 

 

He'll do well in a team that dominates ever game and plays a lot of poorer opposition.

He's not interested in doing that for us anymore though, seems to think he's above it, he even alluded to that himself.

 

Can't wait to see the back him.

Rashford has just scored 14 with 10 assists for Barcelona across all comps. Could easily see Gordon beating that without much effort.

Yeah, it's quite funny seeing the reaction now these sorts of clubs are after him, after all the heat he's received on here [emoji38]

Disagree. I don't think he has a *great* deal in the way of actual pure talent. His ball-striking in open play is quite poor measured against other elite players in his position. I think he's intelligent and quick and that Eddie loved him because he grafted and was able to deliver his tactical instructions. Not trying to downplay his best form, but your description better fits Rashford imo.

:lol: cannot fathom why Barcelona and Bayern would be interested after the last couple of seasons like but I'm all for a bidding war

Probably because they only see him playing in the CL games, where he tends to turn up. Can't imagine either Barca or Bayern scouting or watching our league matches.
