Is it just me, but does he look like not 100% committed?
Does he see himself in NUFC shirt 1-2 years from now?
I liked the lad, but if his head is turned may be the best for both parties is to split ways this summer. His contract is up in what, 2 years?
I made this comment in the group chat during the match - "0 shots on target Gordon doesn't look interested at all"Quote:

Hasn't scored a league goal in over a year, now, from open play, take away the penalties and let Woltemade take them, the lad has contributed nothing.
People complain about Nick not being a No.9, Newcastle United being inconsistent, Eddie should be sacked etc.
The numbers from last year to this from Gordon have fallen off a cliff. As with Murphy. Both have seriously let the team down.
With the Meatball's defection, it shifted to the other senior players to take up the slack. Gordon has failed in that.
We all know his head was shot to pieces over the LiVARpool thing a few summers back.
Maybe he's never really got over that.
Either way, he's not playing like he used to and that does need to be considered.
I just don't know. Howe defends him and points to the stats around team play / off the ball work etc. However, the position is one which assists and goals count.Quote:

I didn't look at a single club and feel any sort of envy or admiration for the way they played.
I also didn't think the like of the filth deserved credit for the garbage, dirty, creative-less, dull negative football those clowns churned out to get the win v a City who were as clueless as NUFC were today.
Credit to Everton for their win at Villa Park today. That shows that this Emery hype is just that. All hot air.
This all adds weight to my "The lack of quality in the Premier League this season" Thread.
Every team is Sh!te, the Prem is a really hype job, the commentary is so over blown these days with their verbose and elaborate sycophantic babblings just grinds on me when their words, in no way, match what I'm seeing with my own eyes.
Pure "IN-GAME" Gaslighting.
I boughtn my 13 year old niece an Anthony Gordon flag for Christmas...he's fucking STAYING!!! >:)>:)>:)>:)
Uncle Zippitys going to have to put his hand in his pocket again next xmas. 😄Quote:

He's not scored in open play in the league for over 1 whole year now.
Barnes has score 11 over the same period.
Anthony needs to get his head in the right place and quickly or summer, I'd not be disappointed to see him leave.
With a superb World Cup behind him a big European team like Bayern Munich could come a calling.
80m quid, double the money. Singed in 2023 - 45m with add-ons, new contract signed 2024 his amortised value in the summer will be
45 / 5 = 9. After 1 year his value was 36m quid
36 / 5 = 7.2. 36 - 7.2 = 28.8m quid
So a sale of 80m would net a PSR/SCR profit of 80 - 28.8 = 51.2m quid
That's good business should Gordon's form remain as ineffectual for the rest of the season
I dont think anyone would pay 80 mil for Gordon. 65 maxQuote:

He's probably not worth 80m but it's not beyond the realms of fantasy to see him moving for 80. Should Woolwich & the Bindip compete for his signature. Who knows.
Each world cup goal could add 10 mln to his price. And hie might pkay his socks off in internatonals. And if England does good, he plays here and there, 80 mln is possible. Someone paid 55 mln for Elanga and Wissa, after all!Quote:
