England’s Anthony Gordon

Dan Burn has been great for the team, but I think it's significant that we're getting linked with so many left backs. It's our priority position. He looks very clumsy going forward now, and vulnerable in defence.

 

Gordon does look a bit short of confidence, and perhaps is trying too hard as a result. He's still very young, and he's having to get used to a new team and environment. Let's wait and see.

 

 

I know, I was just kidding about Dan Burn's defence force turning up whenever he gets some innocuous criticism

Anthony Gordon needs more time, but he really didn't do anything at Everton before we bought him.

He’s definitely got the feel of “har har what a waste of money” player who in a year under Howe becomes a “should he be in the Euros squad?” player.

 

Yes we’ve paid a lot of money for him but we’ve paid for his potential. He needs a fair bit of refining, but fortunately we’ve got one of the best around to do that. 
 

Worst case scenario we flog him to West Ham for £25m in a couple of years.

He has literally started just two games, and he has never played a full game so far. A bit too early to call him a flop.

Gordon hasn't produced the kind of performance I was expecting, but as others have pointed out, he doesn't get the kind of support from Burn that Murphy / Miggy gets from Trippier. We'll see what happens when that's sorted.

 

Played his best football for us to date on the left against Southampton, and faded away when swapped sides with Murphy, didn't he?

Gordon will become a G R E A T player for us, he has all the qualities and he also has (very importantly) EDDIE HOWE !!!!

Way too early to say that.  He's shown glimpses that there might be a player there.  Gotta give Eddie time.

How to let everyone know that you know nothing about football ^^^^^^^

A bit of a silly signing in all honesty. We over paid for a player we didn't need right now, when no one was wanting him and his club facing relegation. I think we get him for nearer £30m in the summer, and we wouldn't have missed anything he's had to offer this season. However he's here now and gets my full support. Going from what we've seen from Howe so far, he'll get a tune out of him in the next 18 months and become the player we paid for. Needs that moment though, could quite easily happen today off the bench and get his goal or assist we've been waiting for. Would do him the world of good getting off the mark.

But by the time the summer comes he will have had 6 months to settle, get familiar with the team and the coaching staff, he'll know what it is that Howe requires from him in terms of fitness.

 

The club perhaps preferred to get that done now so he hits the ground running for next season.

Can’t really judge him without a full preseason under this coaching team. He’s gone to a brand new environment with a team that plays a completely different style. We obviously overpaid for him, but this always happens with transfers from one Premier League to another

Not worth paying 50% over the odds though. With FFP, we can't make too many mistakes or overpay for convenience. The playing field isn't level.

Its just an assumption we would have gotten him for less though

It's a fair one. It's just an assumption he's going to benefit from being here 6 more months, both are as likely.

I was talking about his hair, you mincers. 

[La Parka]

Shit.

 

No where near ready.

If this is what you get for £40m nowadays the Saudis are going to turn on a serious money hose this summer like.

[Flip]

Offers absolutely nothing.

[La Parka]

Anderson is as good if not better. He's a joke, doesn't look good on or off the ball. 

[David Edgar]

Just a dumb signing.  

[Ronson333]

This guy is shite

[NUFC]

Probably not even worth £20m based on his performances for Everton, no idea why we paid £40m
