Got injured again - then lost his place to Barnes.
He had a kid in late 2023 - which means this season he has had to deal with all the trials and tribulations of a 1-year old.

Yes the Liverpool linked didn't help but it wasn't by any means the only thing.

Would I sell for ?80 million, only if he wanted to go and I'd want more on top of that to be honest.

Would I look to sell, to replace with Gittens - no I wouldn't, I'd rather have Gordon who knows hte system.

Sancho was meant to be a generational talent at Dormund but look how that has gone.
Indeed Jam-a-troniko!

This is what I'm wrestling with. Is this Gittens lad a player who will be levels above Gordon? Is the upheaval worth it?

I just don't know.

I concur with all your points about Gordon. He's a very cerebral player and no doubt all those points have had a detrimental impact on the young lad.

No doubt he'll come back stronger, fitter, mentally and emotionally stronger than ever.
