The starting point of any new signing should be vitriol until they prove themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up right where he left off last season and is scoring for fun in the friendlies. Edited July 27, 2023 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can ask that question at any point, with increasing certainty in our answer. I think this was a miss, but don't know and want to be proven wrong.

Think Big Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 7 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: Gordon seems like he'll be able to play left, right, behind the striker, most advanced of 3CMs, emergency striker. Going to be a huge player for us. I want to choose my words carefully, but I can see him being to Howe what someone like Bernardo Silva is to Pep. Gordon lacks Silva's technical quality, but he's versatile, industrious, and direct on the ball. I've also been very impressed with his movement in preseason. He finds spaces very well and is very rarely static in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finds spaces very well and is very rarely static in the final third. My issue with him last year was his lack of movement at times. Seemed to just stand there on occasion. As Eddie said early "No move no good". That said, I think it was Tripps in an Athletic article that said it will take Sandro a bit to acclimate to Eddies style, similar to Gordon. I'm paraphrasing but I can find the exact quote if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds daft but he’s (Almiron) arguably our best and most important player defensively but I think Gordon is learning that if his comments and preseason are indicative. I’d love him to make me eat my words from when signed him like Big Joe has done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid has been here for half a season and has still been bedding into our style. Way too early to be asking questions of either him or the club. This questioning of him is all really weird and I wasn’t even a particular huge fan of having him here because I didn’t like his character when he played against us. I think he’s starting to look really good for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Some cracking runs from him and build up play. His finishing needs a lot of work though, should have scored 2 or 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s in his locker though and will hopefully come in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 We are starting to see what an intelligent player he is with his movement off the ball. There was a feeling when he played for Everton that he was a head down and run type player but he has so much more to his game than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) He's a livewire for sure, and we've seen some really positive signs over the Euros/pre-season. Today though his decision making in the final third was lacking too many times. Don't think that he is someone we can depend on in terms of end product right now, in terms of a position in the starting XI, IMO. I think that Howe might well start the season with him on the LW ahead of Barnes however, and I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong.
