LFEE Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 43 minutes ago, Mazzy said: I know £3M is nothing really but we could've got him for free in the summer right? Do we need him that badly right now that we could just wait. Am I missing something. Would’ve went to Tribunal which can be a bit of a lottery at times though more than likely the fee would’ve been a bit lower but on the other hand we’ve more RB cover for Trippier this season so very little difference. Id guess the biggest loss for us is the sell on %. Not sure that could’ve been inserted via a tribunal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Just feel our transfer team are getting the transfer tone spot on, time after time. Trippier, Krafth and Ashby is some tasty selection choices at RB. Ashby could come off the bench against West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 For £3m - we could have all had a whip round on here and bought him for the club, helluva deal by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 From a financial point of view, even if he ends up an average PL player, we will double our money on him, probably treble it. I'd expect us to be all over deals like this, even in positions we have strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Really like these kinds of deals. So satisfying when they work out in the end. Great environment for him to come into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Literally no idea on this. Highly rated but has made one 10 minute cameo at the top level. Very low risk for high reward and another home grown is important. Can't complain at some more depth that will likely have re-sale value if he doesn't make it.

SiLvOR Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Just happy we're targeting young players with room to develop. Never seen the lad kick a ball, but so confident in our set up that I've got so much faith in him being good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He's got a 5 month bedding in period too. The real work for this lad will start in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Good to see the age profile of the squad shifting; Isak, Botman, Ashby and Gordon all early 20’s, whereas the players who’ve left since end of last season pretty much all the other side of 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Surely this is a wind up. Trustworthy Luke already told us Gordon was going to be our only deal this window. Unless we signed someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Can’t see I’ve seen much of this guy but he’s clearly rated by management, this deal is robbery if he even gets close to potential they must see in him.

wormy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Why are we arguing so much about Edwards in both the Gordon and Ashby threads? It'd been so nice not hearing about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Decent write up on him in Athletic today talking about his skill set and potential (fast, strong, good on the ball). Seems like a great understudy to Trippier with Kraft still to come back too. Edited January 30, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keegshields Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 May well be another hidden gem this lad, been talked about for a while as a future prospect and in Howe we trust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 This lad seems to be one to watch; no chance he’s signed for us without a clear pathway to the first time either. So it’s goodbye to either Krath or Manquillo or possibly both in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
