Anthony Gordon

It’s a huge indictment on our academy if they suck. We absolutely must become a club that can churn out talent that can be sold and enter the first team with our current financial situation. I do think our recent culture plays a part in so many failures but the truth is we haven’t done enough to prepare players for the league. We need to become more cutthroat as a club and drop the coddling of our players. Too many of them come out rotten eggs.
The Moshiri era has been largely one in which we haven't managed to bring in players from either the youth team or from unfancied clubs and improve them. Instead we've gone down the road of buying in names for big money and them underwhelming. We kind of had the right approach under Moyes and should have used the money to a) keep our best players, and b) add one or two stars. The club has gone very wrong now for years and I can't think why any decent player would want to come to us now, whether senior or junior.

Yep. We’ve got it wrong from top to bottom. Sometimes having more resources at your disposal isn’t a good thing if you don’t know what to do with them.


We had that one season under Koeman where we looked like we could hit the next level. Icarus football club. The second we sold Lukaku things were always going to go horribly downhill with Moshiri at the helm.

I think back to that 13/14 season when we had such a lot of good, young talent and played some great football. It seems a million miles away.
 
He's an overrated player, not even in Barkleys league. He's yet another Ped failed prediction from toffee tv, along with Davies. Ironically we get rid of players like Nkokonko and Cannon, granted they aren't perfect, but at least we could of given them a chance. Yet effin Davies, DCL and others get multiple chances. I've realised that your ability to succeed as a player is just about luck.

Both still contracted to us mate?

Said the same for a while. Our academy structure is awful.

I mean...look at Simms. Bet we have no clue what to do with him...keep or sell while his stock is high
