Gordon’s Deadline Day Rollercoaster…
Liverpool’s transfer deadline day resembled a dramatic soap opera starring Alexander Isak who signed on, Marc Guehi whose deal collapsed more dramatically than a soufflé in an earthquake, and Harvey Elliott who bid farewell after five years. Somewhere amidst this swirling madness, Kaide Gordon found himself stuck in a transfer hokey-cokey that left him standing still. Known for his explosive debut in January 2022, when he wowed fans as a 17-year-old, Gordon’s shining trajectory slowed like a cheetah who just caught sight of a very comfortable sofa and decided to nap instead.
Back to full fitness by January 2024, Gordon hoped for an EFL stint that would rocket him back into the limelight, but alas, his loans at Norwich City and Portsmouth were less exciting than watching grass grow in a desert. Even though Championship clubs showed interest, none sealed the deal, leaving him stranded at Kirkby. Blackpool seemed tantalizing, but the discussions disappeared faster than your car keys when you’re already late. Now, Gordon plans to impress at under-21 level, catching the eyes of scouts like a magician pulling rabbits from hats before revisiting his options in the winter market.
