He's much better than Murphy but I'm not as convinced by his attitude plus - most importantly - the kind of price I suspect we'd need to pay we could surely get better players. The main thing i can think of is that he's English and young so would fill a quota, to succeed then we would need to start developing or buying some of the better English players and there's a lot of competition for them so maybe getting one Howe thinks he can get more out of is the best bet.
I stopped at he's much better than Murphy.

So £5m loan fee (hopefully they are paying his full wages) with £15m option to buy, so that's a £5m loss. I think we can live with that like. I won't mention the circa £1m he's ****ing rinsed us for in wages. In all fairness he did a job, he's a bit **** and not up to the (our) level but he relegated Burnley and has earned us a few points along the way.
It’s not though. He was on 2.5yr contract and has been with us 1year so his current book value is 15million. They are paying the 5mill depreciation for the half year he is with them so if they do buy him for 15mill we will report a 5mill profit.

I hate to say it but I think Gordon is a good player. He's a proper windup merchant and skilled at diving, so gets few friends away from Goodison.
But there's something about him which suggests that he can progress to be a decent player.

I doubt he'll be wanted here though.
 
Gordon shows glimpses of talent in a team that is absolutely dreadful. He's still young so his bad habits can be trained out, think it's one of those signings that could really work or be absolute ****

Getting a Francis Jeffers vibe off him, I could be wrong though.

The issue Everton have with Gordon is they have made a 21 year old the focal point of their entire squad.

He's the only one at Everton who carries the ball forward, they signed Dwight McNeil to back him up ffs.

Dwight McNeil

Here he would have Joelinton helping, Bruno, Almiron, Isak. We are a whole other beast
