It genuinely frazzles my brain that EFC thought it was a good idea not to accept the offer from Chelsea for him in the summer.
I said at the time that we should have bitten Boehly’s hands off when they came in with that offer. He was new to the league and desperately throwing crazy money around in an attempt to make a statement. We won’t get that opportunity again.
As we’ve seen a few times in the past, Gordan is just another totally bang average (at best) player, who is still only anywhere near our squad due to the fact he’s scouse.
He does still have it in him, somewhere, to firstly be dangerous, and secondly to not be so thick on the pitch.
He does have pace, which he doesn’t know how to use, but that’s exactly what we say we need. He also seems to score tap ins. He does get himself around the keeper for scraps, something which Dom and Gray don’t do. McNeil is still lumbering his way over the halfway line. Iwobi has clearly been banned from entering the box.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t find him likeable, and he’s experienced enough to not play the young=inconsistent card. That’s a cop out.
My main worry is we are about to spend upwards of £15m on some young winger from somewhere who will take 2 months to settle, could end up being worse, and thinks Wales is in England, never mind having any idea about Everton. Slapping some sense into Gordon would be quicker and cheaper.
