2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Dougie]

My other reservation with this is the rate of squad turnover. We’ve already got 5 new players in, and even without this sale we’d be looking at 7 with Gana and a striker. If Gordon goes, surely we’re buying a winger as well as a striker and CM at a minimum.

Pretty rare any side signs 8 new players in one window; there’s always concerns about the team gelling, and I doubt selling Gordon would be popular among the team.

With all that said, I hated so much of our squad last season that I don’t mind a factory reset. Most of them are proven failures. But it does come with risks attached getting so many in.

Yeah agree with everything you said. It’s risky to get some many new players in at once. Can go badly wrong getting them to gel all at once. But as you said the squad and most the first 11 last season are not good enough period. Pickford is good Patterson and myko are good. Coady and Tarks good experienced pros. They will fine settling in. It will be the forwards and midfield that will need to settle in.

The word "character" is what Lamps et all are using.

Coady, Tarko, and even seeing a glimpse of Onana seem to say they're looking at the right type

Talk Sport talking about this soon. Jim White has spoken with Mosh who said they have had no bid for Gordon from any club.

That's a lie

There have been multiple bids

 

[Nymzee]

What if, you know, he just wants to leave?

If we were going to be comfortably mid table this year I’d never entertain selling him. But as we look to be in another relegation battle due to some gaping holes in the team, it is certainly worth considering.

Would hurt to see him go but if it lets Frank bring in some forwards and get us away from the bottom three, well, I couldn’t argue. It would hurt a lot more to see us relegated.

Hopefully we can address the gaps in the team without losing him though. Onana came out of left field so maybe a new number 9 will too…

Do agree with you there, even McNeil seems like a grafter with a good character. Perhaps this is one of the occasions a full reset pays off. Might help clear the weak mentality we’ve had as a squad for years too.

Moshiri giving more info to talksport?

Thought we were supposed to just wait on Moshiri to speak through official channels?

Oh, here we go.

Piping up again is he

 

[Austrax]

Considering the amount of stick he gets on this forum. Can’t say I’d blame him if he does leave us.

Nothing to suggest he is the main threat unlike Richy who can score and assist.

 

[Jebus_lives]

I’d pay 10m just to never see him pea roll another shot or hit the first man/float a ball to the goalie on a corner

Going to need to start seeing some evidence you have this sort of financial commitment, if you want to be taken seriously, Paul.

Who would blame him?

 

[chicoazul]

There’s a school of thought that some Evertonians have chased him out through their unreasonable scorn and that these same Evertonians are the ones who cry NSNO and produce the most bile towards their own club, when THEY are the problem.

They are also the most thin skinned so cannot take any criticism well. They are true Brexiteers of our fanbase, self centred and deluded, the emptiest vessels shouting loudest and unable to recognise their damaging traits in the mirror or even admit they called things wrong.

 

[PhilRegan]

Why? Brighton knocked back multiple bids for Cucurella before they got what they wanted.

Why would we be so soft?

They’ll be rejecting it.
