Hey Lads was having a heated discussion with my mates over who u would rather have on your team, me being a newcastle fan am delighted in having gordon and think he has been exceptional for newcastle at the start of the season and really had a breakthrough u21’s euros with england and was arguably their best player in the tournament. However haven’t seen enough of cole palmer to really intrigue me is a great talent for sure and my friends were adamant he is better than gordon but want to get second opinions on it.
It’s a question if you prefer the fast and direct or calculated and slow approach. I’m a biased Newcastle fan but I do prefer my wingers direct. Wish we bought both lol
Tbf Palmer doesn’t have the physical speed of Gordon but he’s actually been really direct for Chelsea, He usually does it more with his passing but he can dribble too as that chance he made for himself dribbling through the middle of Man City on Sunday shows.
Think Palmer has actually been more of a central player than winger so far as well so I don’t think they’re the right players for comparison either. They could play together in a hypothetical 11, and may end up doing so for England in the future.
