Think the point is mate Barkley and Davies both looked like they had that tag but never kicked on.
We could have sold Barkley for probably much more than what we ended up with had we not kept hold for too long and I imagine Davies may have had a few take a look after his breakthrough season.
Gordon may develop into a top player or he may join the likes of Ross, Tom, Walcott, Lookman, Gray etc of young players who burst onto the scene but never progressed into that next level of talent.
£45-50 million and we would have to have a real think especially when its a full profit on the books in regards to FFP which would potentially give Fronk a warchest to rebuild the whole side.
About the players you say mate, none of them showed the attitude and determination that Gordon has.
Barkley yup brilliant talent, but grade D attitude and brainless and always was.bwas never a hidden thing he was a gobshite.
Davies sorry mate but no one with eyes would compare him with the potential of Gordon. He had huge physical limitations from the off.
Lookman, never ever produced anything in the top division to show anything. Same with Gray - they where both lower division players bought on potential.
Walcott - had end product but zero consistency
Gordon has everything at such a young age he needs to add end product to be an absolutely top player now
Or sell him and take two punts on players with zero passion for the club, who are probably already older and who have not shown what he already has.
