prefabtoon Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Yeah liked the Schar meeting face to face, Schar we look after our own here, Gordon you going to look after me then. Schar no chance you got to earn it. Edited January 31, 2023 by prefabtoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Anyone make out specifically what Howe and that have got on the screen? Think it's analysis of the So'ton game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think he's come across fantastically well in these two videos. Enjoyed the one from his Everton days at the food bank, too; seems like a sharp but grounded lad. I love that our 'no dickheads' policy is in fact the 'no dickheads off the pitch' policy. Because - Ernst Scharvro Blofeld aside - for all our guys are fucking arseholes for 90 minutes on a Saturday (Gordon now presumably included), they seem like such a canny fucking bunch during the day-to-day. Compare Joelinton's babyfaced smile with his contorted, growling matchday face, for instance. I would've paid to see the entirety of that conversation between Howe and Gordon btw.

The Bonk Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 You could tell he was switched on, happy, engaged with the medical, players and coaching staff. I bet it feels great to feel a few hundred miles away from the hot mess that is Everton and the gobshites chasing his motor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeting new people can be awkward enough without someone filming it and putting it all online. I agree and he handled it like it was absolutely nothing, 21 years old.

Agreed, was special, Howe saying he's been following him closely for months/years, I wanted to hear more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 40 mil is a bargain we've signed one of the players of this century, "generational talent" is insulting to his greatness. We've actually pulled off the heist of the century. Edited January 31, 2023 by Mountain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I would imagine the physical and tactical demands of becoming a professional footballer these days are so great than all of the genuine arseholes are filtered out long before anyone reaches the first team. This was still possible a generation or so ago, when players would have five pints on the night before. Back then, there was still enough scope to make it with talent and not so much application. Even the poster child for modern arsehole footballers, the now-aged Christiano Ronaldo, keeps himself in incredible physical condition. On the flipside, players are paid so highly these days that it is reasonable to expect far more of them. Football is one of the few places left for working class people to shine. Former opportunities in pop music and acting/entertainment are increasingly drying up, so we should not be too harsh on the few working class people left on our tvs. Not to the extent that it can affect them mentally anyway.
