I think it certainly would, can you imagine the likes of Trippier if that happened. Totally disagree there mind. Expand Trippier and Gordon already got up in each other's faces once before as well.

LionOfGosforth Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Time will tell but this feels like one deal that might be drifting towards him staying after all since Everton want too much and we're not as stupid as Chelsea.

Expand Never said he would destroy the dressing room, we have too many no shit characters to allow that to happen. He's totally unprofessional though to miss training, which then makes me question whether he's the right character when the chips are down. If he signs, then you have to trust Howe, personally I hope he doesn't though as I just don't think he's good enough either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Miggy doesn't do the mad man bit any more.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We'd better get him now after all this, for as much Id have never have chosen him. I now want him chasing and chopping down defenders in the final 3rd and pelting towards the goal for the second half of our season. I'm all for that injection.

Expand I agree, my post was to a reply that implied we have miggy closing down so we don't need Gordan. I was just pointing out that the more players we have who can hold an intense press for long periods will make us even stronger at winning the ball back. This is why Howe likes Murphy so much and I feel Gordan is an upgrade on Murphy so signing him would definitely make our squad and options stronger.

Expand Kane did the same thing and he's generally considered to have a really good character. IMO Gordon was one of the only Everton players who showed heart in their relegation battle last season. This season he seems to become the boo boy for their fans, getting chased through streets in his car and abused. Can't get a game for one of the worst sides in the league but the club are taking the piss by trying to ask for £60m for him. So I can understand him trying to force the move a bit.
