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 depends on what your team needs.
For Newcastle I think Gordon is a much better fit because we play with that high tempo high press system that suits Gordon perfectly.
For England, I can see why Palmer’s been selected ahead of Gordon, because we need someone who can slot into that #10 type role in the absence of Madison and Bellingham. If those 2 were fit and the injuries had been to wide players (especially on the left) then we might have seen Gordon get a callup instead
Palmer is one of the best pressers i’ve seen. he’s not that athletic but he seems to create a chance solely through his own pressing intelligence at least once a game.
But i do agree they’re different players and this is kind of a silly comparison
