AyeDubbleYoo Posted Monday at 08:25 Share Posted Monday at 08:25 Are there a lot of midfielders in a 3 who also play on the wing? I would more be looking to sell Willock and get a proper midfielder in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Arsenal or Liverpool fishing for not far off that price. We're in a position where we already have a very good LW and could go for someone like Eze who is also very good and who I think could be as good as Gordon was for us last season. Can get a Brazilian international, more CL experience, similar age, much more technical ability for £60m is it? You mention Eze - his price point would be £60m too. He’s older but Rashford would be available for peanuts although the wages will be high. Think Gordon is a £50-£60m player unless Chelsea want him again. But yeh he’s a great fit for us and this is a squad game. we need 5 top quality options for our front 3 - minimum. 4 isn’t good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted Monday at 08:26 Share Posted Monday at 08:26 The Grealish £100M signing was an anomaly imo - I don't think anyone pays £80M or even close to that for Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted Monday at 08:32 Share Posted Monday at 08:32 cannit knee-jerk and sell a player every time they drop a bit of form. was barnes - now he's great, we have to sell gordon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted Monday at 08:34 Share Posted Monday at 08:34 If PSR wasn't a thing I don't even think it'd be a discussion would it? I know it sounds like we're in a good position this summer but if you can do a bit of juggling to get 1 or 2 in on top of what we would be able to otherwise, then I don't think it's a worthless discussion?

Yeah, exactly. PSR dictates that you should sell & then replace at the same value or for less if you can. It's fucking stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearerlegend Posted Monday at 08:43 Share Posted Monday at 08:43 (edited) Unfortunately he has those stupid moments in him, he lost the ball as well against Dortmund unnecessarily when we were on top of them. Very poor season Edited Monday at 08:44 by Shearerlegend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted Monday at 08:48 Share Posted Monday at 08:48 (edited) You expect your wingers / inside forwards to lose possession every now and then, otherwise they're not really attacking. It's the manner of it, losing it in his own half, the head down and slight jog after the ball as if there's something going on. Hopefully just fitness related. Weirdly I think his explosive start with us is now doing him no favours as that's the level we know he can operate at, and he's not been there for a few months now.

Erikse Posted Monday at 08:48 Share Posted Monday at 08:48 (edited) Who would even be in for Gordon this summer, after the season he has had? Not sure Chelsea need him. I think the likes of us and Villa are the best teams who would start him quite often. Most of the top teams seems to prefer different attributes in their wingers. Was honestly surprised about the Liverpool links last year, I wonder how much they really wanted him. I don't think they do now.

Optimistic Nut Posted Monday at 08:49 Share Posted Monday at 08:49 Yep, it's shite. Even if we could only get £60m for Gordon and sign Eze for the same, isn't it worth something daft like an extra £40m we could spend this summer? Someone with a better understanding of PSR could explain it better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker Posted Monday at 08:52 Share Posted Monday at 08:52 It's the needlessly throwing himself to the ground with very little or no contact. It's the protesting on the ground for too long while play carries on. It's the running into blind alleys and attempting to drop the shoulder one too many times. He's really frustrating to watch at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted Monday at 09:21 Share Posted Monday at 09:21 This is going over the top FFS. Are LW a cursed position? Gordon is fine. He is just not in exceptional form like last season. You guys need your head checked if you think the starting left winger for England doesn’t worth 60m on the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted Monday at 09:28 Share Posted Monday at 09:28 (edited) We already have a thin squad and a few players i would much rather replace before Gordon (Willock, Longstaff, Wilson). We dont want to bring in too many new players, so lets keep the good ones we got for now. Dont need help with PSR this summer I think.

jackyboy Posted Monday at 09:41 Share Posted Monday at 09:41 Opposition teams work out how to stop certain players. Look at Palmer at Chelsea, Foden at City. They haven't become bad players overnight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably on three times as much money now as he was a year ago. Going to any club that could afford him he would want more money and I can’t see him anyone paying him it.

Add a newborn in there as well and it's no wonder he's starting to look knackered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
