I think it’s an odd comparison, as you say, they’re not the same style of player and sit in different roles. Palmer seems to be more rounded quality already, but Gordon is starting to get a more reliable end product on top of his pace. With those two, Bellingham, and Saka the England squad could be very tasty if we ever get a more attack-minded manager.
Plus if people think the Everton lawsuits are bad, imagine what will happen with the teams City beat to win trophies over the years.
