He landed awkwardly did he not? Don't see it being related to match time.

I think it was an earlier challenge that did the damage.

Either way, posted by Lee Ryder a few hours ago…

“Anthony Gordon knee injury not as bad as first feared. Gordon will be assessed at training ground this week #nufc”

Might as well save him for the FA Cup, and a select few EPL games as our league season is done and dusted now. Not going down, Europe seems out of the question. The squad has been ruined this season.
Lets hope big Joe signs a new deal. Tonali will be back, Willock back to full fitness, Gordon not looking constantly knackered. Next season has promise of better things, however I can't help but feel this season is now over. While it's been disappointing, at least we're not relegation fodder anymore!

Opta still have us finishing 7th, and that's based on everyone's league form, so maybe Europa is a possible.

That'd be great if so. I really am hoping we can pull some good performances together for the run in, but recent matches aren't showing that, Wolves being the exception to that rule.

We must add depth to the squad this summer.

Seen Man Utd are supposedly trying to sign Mikel Merino. Surprised, but it would be good to see him back in the PL.

Evening Ray.

Sold off what exactly? They paid a dividend this week of around $100Bn- that’s an income distribution not a sale of shares. Divs can only be paid out of profits, & share price reflect a wide range of factors, profits may not be the biggest driver at any one time. They’re hardly skint.

Gordon gets a call up.

Thoroughly deserved is that.

Really good news on Gordon. He's really deserved it. Such a shining light for us this season.

Excellent news. Means he might not be as injured as first feared.

Super excited. I "won" a seat on the member's draw for Everton. Not seen them play live since 1996!!

Was only a matter of time until the vultures went for Bruno.
Can see him going because of the way the results have gone this season.

Hate to say it, but as a career decision it’s a no brainer. He can probably easily add £100k a week onto his wage, and he gets to play for a team consistently winning titles and championships. At least we’ve been diligent enough to make the buy out clause a significant value. We may benefit more from a couple of £50m players than we would keeping hold of him.

Exactly.

It'd sting, but it'd be a no brainer for him and the club. The money gets reinvested and we get more strength in depth.
