NE28 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Hopefully he can improve his fitness in pre season. Don’t have that many issues around his talent (even if he was a bit overpriced because of his nationality) but him blowing out his arse after playing for 20 minutes is a bit worrying. Hopefully just due to mismanagement from his time under Lampard, but certainly something he needs to improve on Edited June 10, 2023 by NE28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Any news on a broadcaster for this? Sky usually show it, but they've cut back on their international football. I just signed up to Viaplay today for a month so while it would be very niche and far less eyes on it, I wouldn't mind them snapping them up late and getting more value for my sub.

I just hope he doesn't end up having to play catch up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It's not a situaton he could really 'win'. He goes and he risks injury and missing out on pre season. He pulls out and it's the same attitude he shown in those last few weeks at Everton, with a certain section of fans wanting him executed for daring to disrespect those who laid down their lives to beat Europe in two world wars.

BonesJones Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Hopefully at the very least what he said in his last interview regarding coming back really fit, will be the benefit of the u21 games. He's already had time with the team, so will have a decent idea of what is expected of him. U21 tournament could be done for him by the end of this month I believe, so potentially 45 days before the season starts. Any ideas for when our pre season starts training wise?

His opportunities to shine will be too infrequent for someone as inconsistent as he is. Don't think he's a bad player, he's just not good enough for us. Wish he'd scored sooner than the Chelsea game.

KDT Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Aye I don't think he was bought for what he could do in the 18 months after his transfer it was definitely his long term potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon1892 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Just now, jonny1403 said: This is such a shortsighted comment. Agree. It is likely Gordon will be here for a long time even if just a squad player. He is young and has so much potential. He’s quick and looks good on the ball. He just needs some more coaching and he has the chance to become great. I think some of our fans need to give him a chance and I really don’t get the negativity towards him. It’s bunkers. We really don’t have many first team homegrown players under the age of 30 other than Longstaff and Willock so the signing is good planning for the future.

sushimonster85 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Agree with most of what's been said today. Think he will be a big player for us next season. The way he spoke after the Chelsea game about his fitness and wanting to get better makes me think his season has actually started now with the U21's. When that's done I can see him wanting to join up with the squad (who will be back for pre-season by then) right away rather than having any sort of break. A player with the pace Gordon has matched up with the fitness Howe & coaching team demand could be devastating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on that, I just think we're going to outgrow the likes of him rather quickly. Had we not qualified for the CL I think he'd have had a lot more game time next season. If we qualify for the CL again next season the likes of him will be upgraded I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I think although his overall fee was highish in FFP amortisation terms it isn’t much at all and his wages won’t be massive. If he kicks on and is great then that’s amazing for us. If he just becomes a solid squad player then he’s a sellable assest, if he doesn’t kick on then his wages will probably mean he’s still sellable.

Can't see it, simply due to the way Eddie spoke of him when he first signed. Someone he's been keeping an eye on for a long time, and it sounded like Gordon knew that. I think Howe is actually chuffed to have him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
