Not a huge number of games at the early stage of someone’s career but difficult to say what the plans are him for at this point I’d say

Yeah true . Think he’s capable both sides 

 

Think a lot of people will have egg on their face with regards to Gordon. He looks very handy now he’s up and running

The general consensus appeared to be that whilst he started slowly at Newcastle he always looked like he had potential, and people now expect him to somewhat fulfill that potential based on his (rapid) progression over pre-season.

 

Cover me from head to toe in eggs if he helps us win something.

Some people make it sound as if there were plenty on here who said that he will never make it, ever. From what I remember it wasn’t quite like that. Looks promising so far this preseason and hopefully he can deliver this season.

Is it a fair comment to say that Anthony Gordon and Joe Willock are quite similar in what they bring to the team? Direct running, goal threat, laying on assists, breaking from midfield etc. 

If everyone buys into rotation you can see them all fitting in to a style of play.. so no drop off on pace or commitment  when we have to bring the subs on.

 

Think this is becoming a bigger issue with 5 subs as we can now use it as a team strength rather than a weakness.

You'd think he had already had the best season of a newcastle player in the last 20 years the way some are going on

He's still got a lot to prove.

I'm certain Gordon will start the season. It will be Barnes who will have to break into the side.

 

If you are Gordon, Barnes, Miggy or Murphy, you can't afford a dip in form but it's a brilliant situation for Howe that he can bring a player in to rejuvenate our attack.

Great problems to have.

Strength in depth has arrived, in that department at least.

 

Its a cop out but the amount of games, the amount of subs, starting doesn't mean all that much now, a matter of who gets the lion share of the game this game/week.

Never doubted this fella at all. Ever. Always knew he'd be a winner. I remember saying at the time when I first recognised the talent in Lionel Messi, I turned to me mate and I said, this Messi fella is good, but you know who else will be good... Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United. Mark my wards, Trev.

Bipolar N-O at its best. :lol:

 

From a flop and only mistake in the transfer market to player of the season and full international during one off-season. :lol:

Certainly plenty questioning the price we paid and/or why we bought him at all.

Just wait until he misses a chance against Villa.

The price was the main issue. £45m tends to get you fairly close to elite level and he’s nowhere near that level yet

That's been one of the main disconnects the whole time though. He's English and 22 (21 when we bought him). They wanted £60m for him a few months prior.

 

The reaction on here has been "I can't believe we paid £45m for him" and I'm quite certain the reaction from Ashworth, Howe, etc. was/is "I can't believe we got him for £45m." That's just a big gap in valuation and potential -- we'll see who ends up being right.

If Southgate isn't looking at the euro u21 player of the tournament then he needs to be gone. He probably won't though. Sterling will still be first choice when he's in his late 40's

Suspect he needs to put in some eye catching performances in the League, to grab Southgate’s attention properly. Looking forward to watching him do so.

Gordon looked very good against Chelsea. I thought we would bring in a left footed rw instead of two right footed lws. Gordon does play a lot of rw though. Any news on Schar? Does that scare not underscore the need for back cover next? I hope so.

My recollection was there was all of about 3 people willing to give him time of day. Considerably more were worried about his impact upon the club's homoerotica.

I'll be one of many who weren't exactly overjoyed, but clearly I may end up incorrect on this recent form

Nothing wrong with not rating him and changing your mind by the way, that's life :thup:

 

But the first probably 40 odd pages of this thread reached hysteria levels.

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.
