Only way I see Gordon leaving is if Howe is to leave. Think he loves it here and loves playing under Howe

Don't think Gordon would even entertain the idea of leaving Newcastle...unless it was for Liverpool.

 

Sorry guys, but that's probably the only club in the world that could turn his head, but it's not out of the question.

No, if City or Arsenal or Madrid or Bayern came in for him he’d also be gone. Think people need to stop taking the “really happy here” type statements as some concrete oath of blood loyalty.

I actually think he really does love it here though, Newcastle as a city probably suits his personality down to the ground. Only his hometown club would be a bigger pull.

 

Obviously if he could double his wages elsewhere, that's a different thing, no one is going to turn that down.

If we can double our money on him in only 18 months, we take the money imo and reinvest. Grow or die...

This. Modern football is totally fucked. It’s virtually impossible to challenge the elite. Newcastle have the best chance to try and break through with PIFs backing. 

If we fail, supporting teams outside the Elite is pointless. And winning something would be a total fluke (see Leicester).

If we wait another year we can triple our money or have an even better player (provided his contract ending in 2026 is nonsense)

Yeh. The original fee only partially defines whether the selling fee is good.  
 

Although I think doubling his fee to £90m would be a decent deal for us.  
 

Anything less than £80m is a steal for Liverpool.  They won’t have to pay him crazy wages either.

Newcastle, though, are in a position to play hardball. Gordon hasn't thus far agitated for a move and, with there no longer a pressing need to move on players, the Magpies can bump up the price for the 23-year-old. Indeed, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe regards the player as "integral" to his team this coming season.

That's the key part of that whole article. Easy for me to believe Liverpool is his 'Bruno to Real Madrid'* destination, but if he's also happy to stay here and playing ball with our club in terms of whatever happens, it doesn't need to be a big deal.

 

*Not that I'm convinced RM is Bruno's dream home.

The Gordon / Gomez swap would have genuinely been one of the worst deals the club has ever done, so I really hope that's nonsense.

 

But I think if Liverpool put £90m+ on the table I'd want us to take it. I'd hate it and I don't want it to happen, but I think the end result is we'd end up with a more balanced and better overall squad.

It's nonsense Liverpool journalism.  Why can't people see it?

Why would Liverpool even need him? He's really good but splashing the cash on him when they have Diaz and Gakpo playing the same position wouldn't make any sense from their squad's perspective. Honestly think it's a load of nonsense and not worth thinking about.

My boss is a Liverpool fan and he said exactly this about Gordon. He said they only ever seem to get linked with left wingers despite having Gakpo and Diaz as well as options like Jota, Elliott and Nunez who could potentially play there and yet on the right they've basically got an ageing Salah and that's it :lol:
