Matt1892 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 1 hour ago, KaKa said: Great achievement. Only followed this tournament from a bit later on. Did he play as a striker all tournament? Really liked what I saw of him there, dropping in to link up play and then getting into goal scoring positions. Maybe a longer term rotational piece with Isak at striker perhaps? Here is a good video of how the team set up, they play such a fluid system that it was really difficult to stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we wouldn't even be able to get him for the fee we did in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fee was fine, even at the time. £40m with £5m add ons, was it? He’s a rough diamond that just needs polishing. He’s a great age, and the Euro performance has shown he belongs at that level, and will only get better. Hoping he’ll do what MGW has done at Forest, with a full season under his belt.

They’d be well within their rights to demand 60m after today. To be fair, if we hadn't signed him, the way it was going, he probably wouldn't have won the award!

LiquidAK Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 That's so impressive. You have to think if he kicks on and has a good season here he'll be in the conversation for a senior debut at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Just found this on Gordon from November 2018 Its begining to look like a master stroke by Dan Ashworth. And now player of the tournament. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6419869/Borussia-Dortmund-set-sights-17-year-old-Everton-starlet.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenSeagull Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Brighton fan here. A huge part of that U21 success is down to the work Dan Ashworth did when he was at the FA. I don't know if you think he's making a difference right now at your club but it'll be crystal clear in 5 to 10 years and for a long time after he's left. He's the best at what he does. There's not a sporting director at any club, anywhere in the world that comes close. I'm so glad that we had him at Brighton even for a short time.

Serious people with serious football chops have rated him for a long time, like Ancelloti and Benitez. He's had a disrupted development partly because his first club became a basket case, but if someone like Howe is positively beaming about working with him, then I say have at it.
