All this talk about buying and developing a young attacking player , I’m thinking we probably have that player on our books in Young Gordon, I could see him if at Dortmund been already getting much more first team football and them having another Sancho or Bellingham on their hands
Are we to cautious with his development
Jude played 2694 minutes in the championship at 16 then 1697 minutes in the Bundesliga. Reyna played 355 minutes in Bundesliga at 16 then 1976 at 17.
Sancho played 690 at 17, 2461 at 18.
Before injury Harvey Elliott looks on his way to 1000 plus minutes at PL level at 18.
He is 16 and likely to start vs a PL team in the League Cup. He playing vs the u23. He going to get practice time with the
Dortmund a team is one build to buy these young players and give them a platform to develop them they are a little less focused on having the squad to win a lot of Bundesliga and CL(Im sure they want too but it hard to win young players who are unlikely to stay). Liverpool is a club competing for PL and CL. If they good enough to overtake somebody or get into the starting XI they start but going have earn a spot vs world class Prime age talent.
Im sure they are looking to put Gordon on a path to the first team but I wont expect him in the 18 on a more consistent bases at the earliest next season turns 18 oct 2023 but this getting him to dominate the u23 and comfortable with the system and practicing with the first team to earn a full time promotion.
