I had him down at 5ft 10 max! 39 minutes ago, London Blue said: Playing striker he has been less involved, but I have seen him do quite a bit of tracking back and challenging for the ball. Infact it was praised by commentators in both matches. We have to be careful not to look for fault where none exists, especially in young players. We dont want to drive them out. I haven't seen it in him either. No different from last year as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 He should be able to play his own game today and won’t be saddled with the striker role, against Forest I’m expecting him to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t great today, big period of the game where he lost the ball a lot but he looked our most likely to make something happen. 20 year old lad, let’s give him a few games in his actual position.

Bailey Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Its just a case of whether he ever turns those good runs and feints into actual goals and assists. If he doesn't, he is another Demarai Gray. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 For the period of play at the start when we dominated I thought he was fantastic. Caused problems, looked like he wanted to go past people. I turned to the fella next to me and even commented that he looked a lot happier playing a wider role. But when he was bad he was very, very bad. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 If Man U are about to pay 100m euros for Antony then £50m is nowhere near enough for our Anthony. Should the Man U deal go through, it SHOULD give us a strong negotiating position. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 He'll be gone for that, no doubt about it. Unless we already have deals lined up ready to go with the money then I don't see us spending it well at this late stage though. Considering we had nothing sorted when Richarlison was leaving, despite knowing he was going for months and months, I don't hold out much hope of that being the case. I can't see this move working out well for Chelsea or Gordon and, while it will sort our FFP problems out in one move due to it being pure profit for us, it's going to be a big gamble on our part doing it this late and could be bad for us too (at least in the short term). I'm very nervous and will remain that way until I see what we do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have a week so if he goes now (which I agree will be a mistake for him and Chelsea), then we still have time to get the right players in. I think Kevin Thelwell, Lampard and the Team have done an ok job so far, I trust them allot more to get the right players in, I think they have targets lined up. We have been fucked over by PSG and Ajax in those two deals, not really their fault. Lets just see what happens, its going to be interesting.

StevO Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 The only way I see this benefiting Gordon is the prospect of his £5m loyalty bonus and his signing on fee from Chelsea. For a lad of his age who’s not yet signed his first big deal having someone wave the best part of £10m in your face would be very hard to turn down. In terms of football, I don’t see him playing very often. Not with the talent they have in that team. Fully expect him on loan somewhere next season.
