No bait. If we are genuinely willing to pay the sums rumoured then that is a major concern. Wasting £25m on Wood when we were boxed into a corner is one thing. This is something else.

We just ignoring literally every other thing that the club has done since the owners came in then? As well as the track record that Dan Ashworth had at Brighton?

It says that a deal of £25 million, plus £15 million in add-ons could be done a line later.

 

That's more like it.

Panic over. Puke says we are confident of signing him over Chelsea. Ziyech mentioned too.

So you'd be comfortable paying £40m+ upfront for him?

Its not the buying of him that's the main worry...I am confident that Eddie would get a decent tune out of him......it's the fee that is the issue. 

The people printing the figures don’t know the fee!

It does but people are still reading the £60m and shitting the bed. If the deal quoted is done and we end up paying the £15m extra then we/he have obviously done well from it. We've not long ago paid £25m for Chris Wood and somehow managed to recoup £15m of it, I can't see a Gordon deal going that bad that we can't even get that back in a couple of seasons if he really was just a flash in the pan last year.

I think he'll turn out brilliant, simple as.

 

There's definitely a good chance.

Can I ask, who cares? Transfer fee's are hyper inflated these days. Leeds just signed a striker for £30m from Hoffenheim wo has a 1 in 6 goal return. Transfer fee's are meaningless.

Bruno and Big Joe want him for his choice of hair dye alone!

Yeah, much more reasonable.

Very wise comment, we'll earn it back anyway.

Him and Isak can definitely do a fashion photo shoot for British Vogue.

Tell that to Everton fans.

You'd think some people are buying him with their own money

Obviously lots of truth in that, guess it's just a factor for us to judge signings. Fans gonna fan.

Thats not likely to happen though, the club don't mess around, we'll have a value for a player, and thats what we'll pay, look at Botman as an example. 

 

£25m + £15m in add-ons, which is what it looks like would get him, is probably average to get a 21 year old English Premier League winger.

Perrone had a low release fee.

Well let's hope so, cos anything over the £25m upfront and we are definitely getting our eyes pulled out.

[McDog]

 

I'm surprised Everton would sell before they bring on a new manager. The FFP situation there must be dire indeed.

 

[The Prophet]

That's now the Athletic, Fab, Hope and Edwards reporting negotiations. Either his agent is trying to draw Chelsea to the table or Everton are as leaky as fuck.

Issue for me is that it’s a risk Gordon won’t be improved, and for the money he’d cost, we could buy a better player from abroad without needing to put the coaching improvement in. There will be another Gnonto etc out there. 

I think he has the fundamentals just needs coaching and had obviously been at a shite club for it. 

[Jordan]

Really don’t want Gordon. Will really struggle to warm to him ala Colback when he signed for us. I’ve also never seen anything from him that would indicate he’s worth £35-50m
