lovejoy Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Man Utd won’t be spending £100m on a nearly 29 year old Bruno. They may come for Tonali though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d riot if we sold Bruno for any price tbh. Although you have to wonder why he would want to stay he may not get another shot at CL football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 On 03/03/2026 at 01:00, Wallace said: Well I’ve read in different reports that Man Utd want Bruno, Tonali, Anderson and Wharton and they are not going to get all of them. I can see us selling 2-3 of our big names but not all of them as the press seem to want to happen. I’ve seen Hall, Tino, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon, Woltemade, Willock, Miley, Botman and Thiaw linked with moves plus there is Trippier, Schar and Krafth out of contract. They are not all going to be leaving - just hope that doesn’t leave us with some unhappy players. I don’t think Villa have this problem as I can only think of one of their players (Rogers) that is sought after by the cartel clubs although they have other issues to deal with. One of.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I feel like if we lose Gordon we effectively have no elite level attackers in the squad. That would be hard to put right in a summer. Edited March 4 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Even with Gordon in the squad we don’t have any elite level attackers, if we want one we’ll have to buy one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until very recently, Barnes was the best attacker in the squad, and Barnes has been better than Gordon overall for the past season and a half.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Yeah his level is debatable but I do feel like he’s the one with the highest ceiling. And in football generally I’d say he’s considered top level, albeit by people who don’t watch him as closely as we do. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if he went to Arsenal and absolutely tore the PL up. Edited March 4 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than he’s scored that’s for sure, I mean we were all laughing when he said he wants to move more central as his career progresses. He may be good at getting the ball forward, but his overall end product leaves a lot to be desired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he frustrates us with his lack of goals and assists in the league there will be a number of clubs looking at his output in Europe with envy. I'd also add that his lack of assists could be put down to him having no fucker in the box to pass to in many of our games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 FWIW I still think he's a very good wide player, but if he's our best option as a striker, then that's more of an indictment of our actual strikers than an endorsement of Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 There’s a touch of the moussa sissokos about Gordon. Similarly an important player here with a low output in terms of goals and assists. Gordon stretches teams, pins full backs back and carries the ball well at pace. He also helps a lot with our press in the final third. Everything feels very ragged at the moment, all well and good selling players but selling our best players (of which Gordon may or may my be one but the fee be he goes for would suggest he is) whilst expanding and improving the squad seems hard.

Woltemade is the best striker signing this summer after a good start and now he’s useless and should be sold. Not just us like this though, that’s football. Except Gordon doesn’t even get the swing. He just gets dunked on regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Gordon is a very good player, albeit out of form, and will go up another level if he were to join Arsenal. However, for where we are, if we need to sell someone to help fund the new players we need, then for me it is him. However, this transfer window is going to see us need to buy a GK, CB, RB, LB and a new attacker as a minimum. Then you have the potential for needing to replace any of Tino, Bruno, Tonali, Willock, Gordon, Osula or anyone else that potentially leaves. My main concern then is due to how slow we move and the lack of upheaval Howe wants in the squad, we will neglect positions that for me need more quality that we already have the quantity of players in (mainly RW, ST and a more creative midfielder). A huge summer and if it goes like last summer it really could set us back years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I think we should only sell one big valuable player this summer TBH. It's very hard to judge who it would be based on this season only. Tonali has been quite poor, Tino has been injured, Gordon has been alright but inconsistent. Personally I would like to see all our best players retained unless it's absolutely essential for PSR. Then go through a process of upgrading the other lesser players. The club will have to think about a lot more than just who seems disposable based on this season's performance. I backed the approach of raising our floor last summer (even though it didn't work) but I think now we definitely do need a noticeable improvement in quality in some positions.
