Deuce Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Really hope this kid comes good for us, if for no other reason than to be able to tell so many of our supporters to shut the fuck up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I remember the same arguments about Milner. Doesn’t offer much, runs around a bit, no end product, etc etc etc. The constant sniping at the lad is ludicrous. Loads just didn’t want him in the first place - fair enough - but this all looks like a desire for him to flop so that they don’t feel daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should give him a chance solely because of his age? 1 hour ago, BonesJones said: 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! Yeah, I really hope Eddie's right with this one, I just can't see it personally. Regardless of the player and what anyone thinks of him it's great that the club went for it based off the EH's say so.

Could you see it with Joelinton/Murphy? Idk, I'm not bowled away by any means, but it feels like we're flogging a dead horse at this point. And the negativity around him in the fan base is just going to increase the chances of it being a self fulfilling prophecy which benefits no-one.

I'm still very intrigued to see what progress he makes over the summer. As Gordon said he wasn't as fit as our players when he signed and was playing catch up in terms of fitness. I expect him to shine once he gets a full pre season training in. Plus I wouldn't be surprised to see him report early for pre season!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFAFWISP Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 He's with England U21s so won't get a full preseason though. Guess we'll have to wait another season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure anyone saw it with those two tbh, but it's a good point - maybe it's just a slight positional shift that he needs to become more effective on a regular basis. Hopefully it doesn't take AG near 100 appearances and a Championship loan though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t know why Gordon provokes such strong feelings. It’s a little weird. We bought a young lad because he obviously has great attributes and potential to do well, then people are immediately onto him for not transforming the first team immediately. I know everyone thought he was a tosser before he signed, maybe that’s why. Edited June 15, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Interesting to watch him. He really makes some good moves in bursts but is quite static the rest of the time. I definitely think he needs to be fitter. Edited June 22, 2023 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
