Zen Jambo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Link? Gordon really is one of the good guys. Has career has stalled at Sunderland but i think if he got a chance at a top club then he will become the top goal keeper he has been looking like becoming over the years. Just hope injuries etc haven't set him back too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If he went to Arsenal I couldn't see him becoming No.1 for at LEAST a season or two. Szczesny had a brilliant season in 2010-11, and is still just 21, so will only get better and better. So while everyone wants Gordon to go to a massive club like this, is it really the best move to get him playing every week?... ... I don't think so.

P-Dizzle Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Gordon isn't going to move for more than ?4-5M, despite his quality, because of those injuries. It would be a good move for him and he could easily establish himself as the first choice down at Arsenal. Are we not supposed to get a percentage of any fee he's sold for, or did we sacrifice that for a bigger transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point he's not going to move for more than ?4m or ?5m because he's entering the last year of his contract at Sunderland.

Feeno Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Its not a stick on he'd be number one, Scezney (sp) is an outstanding goalie at the young age he is, he'd be in the mix with him and fabianski but not clear cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Been paid in full, he had a clause but that was for number of games played which he has exceeded.

More to the point he's not going to move for more than ?4m or ?5m because he's entering the last year of his contract at Sunderland. This is quite like the Lee Wallace situation only with far bigger amounts of money at stake. Forgot about that as well, thought he had another year after this.

2NaFish Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 as long as he's fit he'll have a very good chance of being their number one. i just hope if he does go that there entire team doesnt dismantle as it appears to be doing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1874M Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Good move for him.... Even one year as number 2 his stock would rise and would probably be a stick on for a better number one spot than Sunderland who have treated him like shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Did he? That's what I was thinking! Neither Arsenal goalie looks great imo but each to their own. Arsenals defense is poor and badly needs an English spine to show the desire, drive and physical element that Wenger seems to over look, in favour our more athletic foreign types (maybe excluding that Dutch lad). If Gordon was to get back to his best then I think he'd be the number one. But he has toiled with a poor defense at Sunderland (and a sh1te manager in Bruce who looks for an easy scales goat) before so I don't know how he'd fair with Arsenal, unless they bolster the backline this close season with proper centrebacks.

Arsenals defense is poor and badly needs an English spine to show the desire, drive and physical element that Wenger seems to over look, in favour our more athletic foreign types (maybe excluding that Dutch lad).

Benny Factor Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Been paid in full, he had a clause but that was for number of games played which he has exceeded. I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure they're due us a big chunk of the extra cash once he hits certain appearance milestones, as he's only played enough games for us to receive the first instalment of 333k. He's only played 94 games for Sunderland in nearly 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMc Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If Arsenal get either Samba or Cahill then they may have a much better defence next season. Either of those two and a fit Vermaalen would be a good CB pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If Arsenal get either Samba or Cahill then they may have a much better defence next season. Either of those two and a fit Vermaalen would be a good CB pairing. Agreed. Would be a big improvement on some of the gash Gordon's played behind at the Mackems - Nosworthy, Ferdinand etc. Good move for CG if it comes about as I don't think any of Arsenal's keepers are even close to being better than him, although the young lad looks a decent prospect.

kearney19 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Gordon could easily be Arsenals number one. Theyve never had a solid keeper since Jens replaced Seaman. Ok Schenzy is a top keeper but his confidence with defenders is laughable just take the Carling cup into context. Fabianski before he got injured was playing really well but Gordon as number one for Arsenal would be delightful but wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.C Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Don't really get where this Schezny is a great keeper chat is coming from. He looks like a pretty decent young keeper that is still prone to some poor errors in judgement, but generally much of a muchness with Fabianski - i.e., not great, but better than Almunia! Would be a great move for Gordon, and if he could stay fit, he'd easily be the No 1 keeper there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
