Gordon's a very effective wide player, and if he's a Liverpool fan, at some point he probably does dream of playing for them. We will have to look at the possibility of selling him while we can still get the best fee possible if we take emotion out of it. It's a shame because I'm sure Gordon loves it here, and Liverpool are probably the only club who could turn his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) Just had a browse of the article: "One source has described the saga as “a lot of hot air” but it has destabilised Gordon and Newcastle are worried about his state of mind before he returns to the club at the end of the European Championship for pre-season training." Makes sense. He goes onto say we didn't offer him to them to him, they were just being opportunistic. Edited July 1 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 2 minutes ago, captainhaircut said: He’ll sign a new deal in the next 6 months. Deserves one anyway. Was really strange to discover that he only signed a 3.5 year deal. I think this is all a play to get an improved contract which is valid, coming off the season he had. Currently on £60,000 a week. Also tend to see players use interest from other clubs to justify a new contract too, which is fair enough. If when he returns contract talks are difficult, can see a scenario where he does move, because next summer he will then be in the last year of his deal.

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Gordon still has plenty to prove and he knows it - his next challenge is to show last season wasn't a one-off and he can at least match it. Of course he'd be tempted to go to a team in the CL back in his boyhood city but I've no doubt he'll be all-in at the start of the season for us.

Mattoon Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'd be gutted if he did decide to leave, but he's not as untouchable as Bruno or Isak and we would only let him go for c£100m and we could do a lot with that. Saying that, I hope it is hot air and I don't think Liverpool will pay that money for him and we won't let him go on the cheap so iyam this is a non-starter, just hope it doesn't affect his season. He's proven to be a professional with his head screwed on though so I don't think it will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I think it is just a matter of time now before he leaves. - if not this season then next. I think Liverpool need to get rid of players so they couldn’t justify the outlay for him at this stage but if they manage to sell a couple they may come back in for him and he would probably then agitate for the move.

Regarding the fee, the issue is when his current contract runs out. All the info available is saying 2026. If that is true he needs a new contract pronto, otherwise by next summer, which would then be his final year, we would have to accept fees way under his value.

Yorkie Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 If we sign a significant upgrade at RW then we're looking at one of the deadliest attacks in the league, so naturally it would be heartbreaking if he left. There no onus on us to sell now, by all accounts, so it would come down to the player itching to move. I'd be very disappointed if he was twisting due to whatever happened over the weekend; he's worshipped by the fans and has all the trust and loyalty in the world from his manager, so I don't think he could convince me that he doesn't feel valued here.

STM Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 "Gordon considered Liverpool move", is the same story but without the cunty headline. Luke being Luke. He's going nowhere and will likely get a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
