Gordon started 4 matches last season, Hall has started 1 in a much more competitive position. Regardless it didn't stop the complaining about Gordon's lack of goals and assists (I remember the amount of times it had to be brought up that he'd put it on a plate for Wilson a few times only for him to miss), and the same "what's the point in signing him if we're not going to play him?" point being made. 

 

And again, no one is being told to keep their mouth shut, I just wonder why they don't in those circumstances, or at least be a bit more patient and open minded when we know what Howe's like now.

 

 

Gordon played in pretty much every game he was available for. Him and ASM off the bench was a common sub that helped us a lot. 
 

Gordon was coming into a winning team so it was hard to break up.

Interested in peoples views on this. If you where given the choice of keeping him this summer for the reported £35 million, or sending him back what would you pick ?

Send him back, not a reflection on him or his ability but I don’t think we can afford 35m for a player who isn’t ready to play.

Keep him, seen bright moments from him so far (Man Utd cup game)

 

I think in years to come he will be excellent for us

Any chance this could be a Baldrick style cunning plan to get his price down?

 

Don't play him, say he is a crap trainer, tell Chelsea he is not worth £35m but we will do you a favour and take him off your hands for £15m and next season he suddenly turns into Maldini mk2?.

We haven't seen anywhere near enough of him to make any kind of judgement, and arriving at anything conclusive re: his potential and value to us in the future is already trickier than usual when he is only 19. 

 

Therefore I'm happy to go with the judgement of the club on this one - they clearly identified him as someone who could be moulded into a CL level left-back in time. Unless they have real reason to overturn that judgement, I'd like him to stay.

The fact he doesn’t get any minutes would lead me to feel we could use that money more effectively.

It’s a lot to tie up in ‘a project’.

Don’t think we’re financially at the level yet where we can do that given how thin the squad is in other areas. 

That’s not meant as a knock to his potential. I’ve the same level of an idea as to his potential as everyone else on the forum. None.
