Gordon, a good signing?

I thought he was not quite sharp enough at times but incredible weapon overall, the assist for Raph’s goal was really some fiesta football
 
I always liked that Barca ignored those overrated bums from that talentless island north of EU but everything changed with Deco.

So you think Kane, Bellingham, Palmer, Saka, Gordon, Rogers, Rice etc have no talent? Lmao!

Silly little clown. Also, I’m sure if Deco forgot 99% of what he knows about football he would still know more than you.
 
England is not talentless. They just produce different players. Not most technically gifted or flashy with their dribbling. But effective, disciplined and athletic.

I don't think Gordon is gifted with some enormous natural talent either. But he has the intelligence, he has the technical fundamentals (doesn't lose the ball, good first touch, doesn't panic in tight situations), he is gifted with speed and strength. Overall a pain in the ass for opponents. Especially knowing Yamal is on other side and you have to give Gordon less attention.

I think that’s a fair summary. England players will never be on the same level technically as Spain or Portugal. But they’ve definitely improved generally in recent years. Keep an eye of Max Dowman coming through who plays in a style that’s about as un-English as you can get and is a superb dribbler.
