Anthony Gordon

[ElGato]

It's probably more to do with this style of play. Rashford is direct as a player and Gordon is probably even more so. For whatever reason barca must feel they need someone very direct as a player to run and commit people. It's the only thing I can think of as such a large fee from club whose finances have been under a cloud for years, for a player who isn't top tier seems mad.

Gordon very good presser off the ball - different league to Rashford in that respect. Suits Flick's hire wire act. Think also had a good game against them in the champions league? Possibly put himself in their eyeline from that

took me a minute, "high wire" act.

gordon was the first English u21 euro's player of the tournament. There is a player there, and the left footer premium applies. So he's a twit*, reminds me of the Portuguese character, thoroughly unlikeable. With all their money they can afford a better class of sycophant.

newcastle have to start getting a tune out of all those replacement players they got in last summer, and if gordon and tonali are the sacrifices to try to steady the ship this summer so be it. For us as we stand, I'd have Tonali in our midfield before el gordo.

I'm just repeating what other people say. I think it means high defensive line and press high. High risk and high reward. You've supposedly got to be smoking something to play it, too

What's he gonna do in his unveiling? Toey the ball down the line and run dead fast after it

Shows that we CAN develop players who are worth a chuff if we actually try to do it like

This man says ¡Hola!

he makes Koeman look like Wesley Snipes

£45 million Newcastle paid.
€70 million to Barca, so £60 million.
Everton get maybe 20% of profit max.
Maybe 3 million quid. Meh.

 

[FCBarça]

The Athletic reporting £70m rather than €70m

Athletic are not reliable nevermind Ornstein

What are the reliable sources saying now?

 

[GoldenToffee]

Most wtf transfer ever. My prediction: He'll be back in the Premier League in loan within 18 months. His agent has played an absolute blinder.

How much do we get out of that ?

Bought for £45m

Sold for £70m so that’s £25m profit

£3.5M based on 15% of the profits

Should pay for Barry’s big toe

It's about 80% of Michael Keane's salary next season.
