    Apparently Gordon has just signed a new long term contract. Get in.

    He's not been very good this season, but I think Howe's desperation to fit in one of his pick in Barnes has been partly why.


    It's good news.... Howe is going to have to sell one of our best players at some point.

    He can't hold the ball up..... I don't see him as a striker.... I'd like to see him play with one.

    Howe is not going to play two strikers

    Yeah, how would he fit 6 full backs into the team if he also starts with 2 strikers?

    Well I’m positive about this if the usual suspects are busy spinning their negativity.

    He is an absolutely cracking player when the style of play suits his. Running at people and a looking for a shot on goal. But I agree, sometimes he just looks lost playing as a traditional #9. If he starts up top then our style needs to play to his strengths.

    Isak isn't a striker

    Agree completely- the way we set up completely isolates him.

    Isak is better with a strike partner.

    Gyokeres and Isak for Sweden is something.

    Howe will probably drop him rather than formulate a different system.

    A thread about Anthony Gordon signing a new contract.

    Within one reply we've gone to the subject of selling our best players, within two replies apparently Isak is being sold and within a couple more it's already on to another anti-Howe thread.

    This is why it's boring posting here now.

    If you want everyone to play ring a rosy and blow smoke up your phony arse then you've come to the wrong place buster.

    No just want a place of actual on topic conversation.

    This was a thread about Antony Gordon, not our players being sold, however Gordon was only talked about in the first post.

    Gordon has confused me this season, more miss than hit. Did the Liverpool thing really distract him that much? Or is he another one who has ability but it only comes in patches?

    I think he would have been better off having a summer break instead if going away on England duty and only getting about 5 minutes on the pitch.

    It's ok charlie nothing is going to happen if people branch off... isak is in contract talks so it's kinda related.

    Nobody has woken up with leprosy because of a shift in topic.
