Does he not just mean that we're trying to put out stories like this to show how fucking ridiculous this whole PSR thing is?

 

You never know, once the PL has wasted a few billion fighting legal battles the penny might eventually drop.

Liverpool have turned down a proposal from Newcastle United which involved Anthony Gordon joining the Reds and Jarell Quansah moving in the opposite direction as part of the deal.

The Anfield club did not view the deal as being right for them, even though 23-year-old forward Gordon is a player they admire.

Gordon, who joined the Magpies in a £45m deal in January 2023, is with the England squad at Euro 2024, coming on as a late substitute in Tuesday's goalless draw with Slovenia in his only appearance of the tournament so far.

A player who is also liked by Paris St-Germain, he scored 11 league goals for Newcastle last season and won the club's 2023-24 player of the season award., external

Liverpool did not make any offer and they would not consider losing 21-year-old Quansah.

The centre-back became a first-team regular last season and was in the preliminary England squad for Euro 2024, missing out on the final 26-man squad for the tournament.

In addition, Liverpool are well stocked in the forward positions with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota among their options.

Newcastle have been contacted for comment by BBC Sport.

Fire up that helicopter feels like I’ve been transported back to the Ashley days in last 48 hours.

 

 

Honestly that was the first thing I thought when I read about the Gordon to Liverpool thing. :lol:

I mean the optics of this and what Gordon must be thinking leave so much to be desired, I can’t believe NUFC are planting these stories to create a narrative if we miss PSR as has been suggested.

That is basically a rehash of what Sky said on air (almost word for word on some bits) so either it's lazy journalism from the BBC's part or the media have been given the same statement/brief.

Why would we even do this, makes no sense whatsoever other than to be seen to be doing things regarding selling players. There’s just no way we go to Liverpool and say do you want to buy Gordon for £60m plus Quansah - I just can’t see it

Selling this lad would be every bit as bad as the day when Waddle/Beardsley/Gascoigne/Carrol were allowed to leave. In fact it would be worse in some ways, since we are now supposed to be one of the league’s most powerful clubs.

 

Regardless of whether the story has any truth in it, this is a staggeringly bad look for NUFC.

 

Makes you wonder if these owners are now seriously revising their ambitions and intentions.

Still think it’s paper hype…BUT if the club run with this, there’s some massive questions to be asked of them. Selling your player of the year because you balls up your accounting is tantamount to gross negligence.

Imagine the players are fully briefed beforehand.

Maybe he's pushing to leave? From his point of view playing for one of the big red clubs is the only way he'll get to start for England 😁.

 

....I'm taking the piss BTW!

We would need to sell him for £70m to £80m to make a decent enough profit to affect PSR. Convinced this is paper talk however if not the club have hugely messed up.
