But I was told from a person sat at this table that signing him for £30 was a mistake. We’ll keep hold of our player, you keep playing with superstar full back Mazraoui. #NUFC
@Swads29 Remember when we signed 3 players over 50 million, 2 of which came from the premier league, that a lot of Newcastle fans don’t rate anymore? Clearly not.
Anthony Gordon refused to play on the right wing because he ‘didn’t want to play there’.
Anthony Gordon ‘got injured’ at 3-0 vs Man City after ‘pulling a hamstring’ but was fit for the weekend.
The Anthony Gordon you’re referencing hasn’t played for Newcastle for 3 years. #NUFC
🚨🗣️ | Jamie Carragher on Barcelona choosing Anthony Gordon over Marcus Rashford:
“People will look at Rashford’s goals and assists and say Barcelona should’ve kept him, but football isn’t played on spreadsheets. When you actually watch the games, especially the big games, you understand why Barça have gone for Anthony Gordon instead.
Rashford has talent, nobody’s denying that, but talent alone isn’t enough at a club like Barcelona. In the biggest moments, he’s too unreliable. We saw him miss massive chances in crucial games, and for me, he played a huge part in Barcelona crashing out of the Champions League. At the top level, those moments define seasons.
What Barcelona need right now are players who work for the badge every single minute, and Anthony Gordon gives you that. He presses, he tracks back, he fights for every ball, and he plays with intensity whether it’s the first minute or the 90th. Managers love players like that because they make the entire team better.
The difference between Gordon and Rashford is mentality and consistency. Gordon is a proper team player. He doesn’t sulk, he doesn’t disappear when things get difficult, and he’s willing to do the dirty work for the side. Rashford, on the other hand, can look lazy when things aren’t going his way, and at Barcelona that attitude gets exposed very quickly.
For me, Gordon is the better signing for Barça. He suits the modern game more, he’s more aggressive, more hardworking, and tactically he’ll give the manager far more balance than Rashford ever did.”
