I don't really care, but I find it weird that footballers in general need to make these statements. I get that they spend a lot of time together, but they probably spend the same amount of time together as people in most professions, but you don't see Susan from accounts putting a statement out on Instagram when their work bestie leaves for another job.

 

Actually, they do, mate. This sort of thing is way more common than you might think.

 

It's all a load of performative nonsense that comes with living in the era of social media.

Sell

We need a game of footy to distract everyone from the post Isak hoopla

Great time for an international break then

Modern day social media culture innit. If you don't make it public, it didn't happen. 

 

Aye suppose so. Just seems to be have done for effect and just inflames things unnecessarily especially at a time where Gordon is hardly flavour of the month himself. No doubt there'll be other players that have dropped him a private good luck text, I'm certainly not naive enough to think the players are as emotional about it as the supporters are, but if we don't know about that then it doesn't matter!

I forgot he’s a Liverpool fan as well, like

He knows what he's doing with his chemistry spiel putting it out there for slot and there fans.

All this does is fuels the fire for next summer when liverpool will be after a new left winger. And the liverpool faithful will be loving this post today. 

I love Gordon, but if he has another season like last one and there’s a £70m+ bid there, we have to sell him regardless who offers it  

 

Just said in another thread about Barnes being the winger sold next season to provide scope for the evolution of our attack, but that’s based on Gordon getting back to 23-24 levels. 

[McCormick]

If everyone was so fucking cool with nice guy Alex then why couldn’t we have tried to reintegrate him instead of capitulating? 
 

He let the whole club down ffs. A congrats message just vindicates that twat sabotaging our summer. 
 

I’m not as chill as some of Fonz’s on this forum apparently…

It never feels right having die hard super fans of other big clubs like, I sort of feel the same with Ramsey although he's probably not thick enough to suck Villa's cock Infront of us all. I imagine it's how Forrest fans will feel about Anderson seeing him at Wembley

Yeah it's always something at the back of your mind with them.

[r0cafella]

Bet Isak is absolutely loving this like.

Never had Gordon down as a die hard super fan like, More Lewis Hall than Lee Clarke.

Agreed. Footballers really are detached from the reality of being a supporter like. As much as they might use 'getting it' as part of their PR, that's really all it is with the majority of them and it's all about number one. 

 

In a way it's good because they're mask off moments

Aye I don't know how much he actually supported them tbf, exaggerating a bit, but he'd drop us for Liverpool in a heartbeat.

 

There's nowt wrong with it, we'd all do the same in a similar situation, but it just makes for an odd relationship.

Not even remotely the same like.

[Wallsendmag]

Think it's also a generational thing. Players/people are different nowadays. For example I doubt someone like Roy Keane or Tony Adams would have felt the same as Gordon and Botman do. I'm going to try hard to not get too wound up about it 

[Zero]

That’s why we all shouted that we shouldn’t let Isak go to Liverpool. See? The precedent case was set. Being a cunt is the way to go.

 

the club probably deserves this.

[OoOGazOoO]

"Great person and a great teammate" 

 

Is he actually that thick to say those words on social media to a large, public audience? Crying out loud, it's that bad, it's almost trolling and baiting!

A great teammate doesn't down tools and basically rile staff and fellow teammates.

 

Absolutely ridiculous choice of words in that sentence.

[Smal]

“great person and great teammate” is an active attempt to defend Isak in the circumstances really isn’t it. It’s beyond thanks mate/goodbye.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Gordon just loves being the centre of attention. Needs to focus on consistently performing to a decent standard, first & foremost.

[Shearergol]

Bruno is surely gonna come out with a "get fucked you judus cunt" story on his IG? It's the only thing that is acceptable now.

[Pilko]

He's absolutely thick as pigshit this lad. Both on and off the pitch. Shut the fuck up on social media for a while and maybe start actually contributing some positive end product. And get a fucking haircut while you're at it.

Needs to stop losing his head and all. Whether it is needless red cards or just sulking. 
 

Starting to get Joey Barton vibes from him with all the faux-intellectual stuff. Which is rarely backed up by his actions.

Apologies to the Everton fans.
