Aye, I've seen the pics.

Not the first time they’ve had a 15yr old in an illegal position- never learn do they?

Gordon turning up for training on Monday…

I think he'll be good for us. He'll fit the pressing style well, he's high intensity too. The guy has been a detestable twat every time we've played them but I imagine a few of our current players are viewed in a similar way. This deal doesn't shake my faith tbh, I think once Howe is done with him he'll be a better version of an already decent player.

So are we saying stats are a waste of time? 😉

Of course you did 🙄 (obsessed)

he wouldn’t have been my first choice but I can see why we have gone for him. From what I’ve seen he has the energy, pace and work rate that suits Howe’s system. £40m sounds like a lot but we’re signing a highly rated young Englishman with his best years ahead of him and that’s the going rate. Arsenal paid £12m for a 16 year old Walcott and that was 20 years ago. Gordon’s goals and assist numbers aren’t special but he’s 21. This recruitment team have got everything right so far, we have to trust them. Remember when we weren’t sure if pope would start ahead of dubravka.

He’s comfortable on either foot as well. Hard working, rapid, has an accurate shot on him, as well as being an out and out cunt on the pitch, while I’ve personally not rated him when I’ve seen him in the past (not a big sample size) I completely trust our lot so I’m excited to see what he’s like under Howe. His lack of goals/assists have been highlighted by some but he’s playing in a side where he gets fucking no support, they’re rarely high up the field, and they don’t retain the ball well, now he’s in a side that are the complete opposite in every regard. If we play Gordon, Isak and Almiron as a front three a lot of defences are going to have a fucking nightmare against the pace and directness there.

What a pair of tits.

Think you're mistaken, that kid's a reich whinger.

Spotted on @Alex's bookshelf at home.....

CT knows what he is talking about. He has the hang of this football thing now.

an absolute clinic in setting yourself up for disappointment.

Google it you thick cunt.

What’s red & white and can’t walk? Ross Stewart

Agree to disagree but who will get the last word?

Another reputable Wykiki source

That's at least the second thread on him. There was another long one which was removed to the compendium. Like I say, I pity the admin there.

The lads who’ve resurrected the Vaux name should bring this highly appropriate brew back.

this is stupid mackem cunt starts an anthony gordon thread a manages to misspell both parts of his name. it's not even like they're complicated ones to spell either. anyway, the gist is, as can imagine, gordon is fucking shite, they've got loads of better players and that one in particular, somebody called clarke whoever the fuck he is, is worth a far higher transfer fee. they never let you down! https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/antony-gorden.1599015/page-3#post-37658846 moron's had it pointed to him and corrected it, beaten by the link though!

CT owning this football lark

Well done for remembering one of their 100 managers over the past 20 years

If they want overpaid examples then I refer the morlocs to a netflix series called Sunderland till I die and the episode where del boy trotter goes all in to buy Will Grigg.

Very considerate of Flybe to have the decency of waiting 24 hours after I’ve given them £340 before going into administration. The absolute CUNTS.

It’s missing the word United, so I doubt he’s a much of a fan….

In other news, after months of delays we finally got the keys to the new house today. You'd think with all this extra time we'd be more prepared to move but it's opposite. Totally blindsided by it, came from out of nowhere. Half the shit we'd packed up months ago and put in the storage unit is already back here and unpacked. I'm currently only two cans deep and I'm already wandering around what has been castle blastronaut for 11 years shouting "how the fuck did you get back here?." at inanimate objects.

Agreed. Feel quite sad for the lad, he's at the peak of his career and this will be quite devastating I'm sure. I've got nowt against any of the current crop of mackem players or their manager, not that I know of any of them.

Like a pair of smoker’s lungs.

Emmmm… going to Peppa Pig World.

Two of these are flukey wins against a shit Fulham side, one of them is a free flowing Sunderland side proving can beat anyone in the PL totally not scoring against the run of play. Who the fuck are half these Fulham players btw

Playing their full strength team to take a Premier League scalp and end up banjoing their promotion charge you love to see it

Ross Stewart must be the best striker the world has ever seen if you go by rtg. Forget that he’s 26 and in a purple patch of form he’s never produced before. If I was him I’d be wanting to upgrade clubs asap before it ends. Not least because I would be fucking sick of them calling me the Loch Ness Drogba when he’s from fucking Irvine.

Straight red while warming up next game

See Madison starting for Leicester City today so my inner ITK in me is saying that transfer isn't happening this month and we will definitely revisit in the summer 😂

What were Almiron’s (left footed right winger) stats like before Eddie?

In a more organised side and getting the ball in more dangerous positions, rather than having to carry from deep, he’ll come good, I think

The "concrete offer" wording is from an Alfonso tweet. I still Maddison is not happening this window. If it does, we are properly going for it.

Hopefully Trippier will stay on in a coaching capacity after he retires if that's something he's interested in, at least until he completes his badges if he isn't already doing them. He's clearly an immense influence on the team with his professionalism and general attitude.

We could have got Stewart for that, what are we thinking?

Looking forward to seeing him in black and white
