Oh it’s hilarious over there…..Jesus they ****ing hate Gordon like! I want him now just so he can score against them and do this in front of their fans when he does!
So the craik is is that Gordon has missed training for a third day - essentially striking for a move. But wasn’t he attacked by Everton supporters last week? It mitigates bad behaviour but still doesn’t exactly look good. If the price is right, and Maddison and Diabi aren’t arriving I’d have him.
It really does depend on many things we cannot know. If we're putting up a front with finances and are still going to be splashing out on £70-120m worth of players in the summer and trying to draw in the likes of Maddison and Diaby then yeah why not sign Gordon as he's a good option. If it means that we'll be knocking £30-40m off anything we'd be looking to buy in a few months time (and you've got to imagine it would do) then I don't think it's a good deal. There's going to be a bunch of better (imho) players moving in the Summer, I'd prefer to wait.
Judging by what a lot of their fans have said on their GOT forum, he doesn't seem to have the stamina to last 90 minutes and that's playing in tactics that don't involve constant pressing like we employ.
All depends if that's from the system they play. If he's not getting the ball to play with then you can see him dropping off in energy. However getting Gordon this window then Maddiaby next and you have ASM / Diaby on the last, Gordon / Almiron on the right , Isak / Wilson Up top and Maddison / Willock in the middle and you see a full squad with rotation options...
Pre-Howe ours couldn't do 45 mins. I think if you look at someone like Bruno, we bought him and had him in training with us for weeks before starting to drip feed him into the team. I'd expect the same.
Another great signing incoming Totally destroying Everton .. kicking them in the balls while they're down Lovely stuff
I'm pretty sure everything these new owners have done had been criticised . From Howe getting the job to player recruitment, but the results speak for themselves . They know what they're doing
