This. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen him, but then again, I'd rather have him in the team than play against him.
The Evening Chronicle wonder why people laugh and scorn them. Putting **** like this as a headline and News story shows why..... They signed Anthony Gordon and simulated results on Footy Manager https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...ned-anthony-gordon-newcastle-january-26073120
I don't think they'll sign anyone else other than maybe Ashby. They've got competition everywhere now and Joelinton can play cm. Rb is perhaps the weakest position now in depth..
All mutilation / amputation options aside, I think it's probably too much to expect Maddison in and any other moving parts around that to be concluded before the close of the window.
I think it's an excellent signing and I'm extremely happy that I was wrong about us signing nobody. Welcome to Newcastle, Gordon, HWTL
Still feels like we’re being rinsed for £45m when less than that would get you Gallagher or Ziyech and not much more for madders. I will however trust the process as he certainly has a lot of the attributes that Howe looks for and he will surely improve under our coaching set up and playing alongside players like Bruno/Miggy and Isak etc. Not to mention hopefully squeezing Murphy out of the squad. Who’s to say we may not still be looking at one of the afore mentioned 3 players as well but I’m pleased we’ve finally made a move and hope it’s the start of one or two more coming in before the window shuts. Teams below us are strengthening to push for top 4, we’re top 4 and we need to do everything we can to try and stay there in my opinion.
If this lad hits the ground running and does a good job it will be the most satisfying transfer I've ever experienced. The Toffees will rewrite history ofc and pretend he was a much loved local talent.
To be fair I have picked him an awful lot in the prediction league for first scorer…probably explains why the little **** hasn’t scored much
