relámpago blanco Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 7 minutes ago, Sibierski said: Barry is cheaper at £27.5m moving to Everton, with plenty upsale. Would rather take one of the many free strikers as an alternative, or even get another young winger and have Elanga play the emergency striker role. There's many different options then paying peak value for someone who's near 29 and won't be a starter and can only play one position. Elanga cant play as CF, Gordon can though. We do need a striker capable of playing 20 games + without a massive drop off. Isak might be fine, some players are. But we need someone that can come in and perform well. Say Isak was out all of last season where do we finish? Im not saying Wissa is the answer and not my first, second or third choice but we do need a back up/ alternative.

toon25 Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 Gordon is very much a square peg anywhere else but LW imo. Never seen him have a good game anywhere else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where the idea has come from that Gordon can play as a CF. He might have played as a false nice for the under 21s but when he's played there for us he's looked terrible.

MagPar Posted July 8, 2025 Share Posted July 8, 2025 Leeds want Pope too. I cant see that happening even if Trafford comes in as we need a strong alternative, and Pope fits that bill. I wouldn't be overly fussed if Pope remains our number 1 for the upcoming season if it means the money can be spent on more pressing matters. How much would Pope be worth? A year left on his contract and 33 years old, 10 million? I reckon (if we get Trafford) that it would be better to keep Pope, as his value as our 2nd option is surely worth more than 10 million? Yes? No? Maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
