Another way to look at the fee is is really 25 million if we are getting 15 million for wood

Still wouldn’t be shocked for a last day move for Tielmans, surely Leicester would sell.

Is this the former Ando who was a fake ITK ?

Never was this month imo. Was always more likely in the summer.

One of the most positive things for me regarding him coming in is that it will surely mean Joelinton moves back into midfield?

We certainly hope so but it’s no guarantee

Caulkin suggesting in his piece about Gordon that we will leave the signing of a number 6 and RB till the summer.

He’s going to get some welcome on Tuesday night if he is at the match, assuming he will be introduced to the crowd ?

Not sure Ashworth would have a lot to do with identifying Gordon as a target ? He doesn’t actually scout the players does he ? More negotiation of fees, contracts etc?

And ? He’s not playing for them currently.

He’s not even getting a game for them currently, they will be delighted with this deal.

Im not, he’s absolutely shit

It was the priority until Wood left, then it changed imo.

I reckon we have asked Rafa in detail about him.

Be interesting to know what the incentives are, not that we will ever find out but I assume a lot will be based on European qualification etc.

Would certainly think so

Fair point, English tax is insane.

Had our pants down for that price.

I thought it was Tiote ?

Agree with most, however I do feel Gordon once up to speed and fitness will play instead of ASM. I just don’t think Howe really trusts him and he will go in the summer.

He’s not the one constantly making the Bellamy comparisons in fairness.

? if you can handle listening to him talk…

I disagree, I think we pulled out the Pedro deal after the Wilson injury, pretty sure that’s what was reported anyways. I may be wrong with that mind just what I remember reading.

I think it’s more that we would be buying Gordon in a position we aren’t exactly blessed with real quality in and he isn’t proven. If we already had a winger or 2 of real proven quality then signing someone as raw as Gordon would be more accepted. It was the same with Pedro in the summer I was against signing him at the time because I felt we needed someone more proven and in the end the club agreed and went for Isak.

Fwiw, Edwards saying Gordon will be the only signing (assuming we agree a fee).
