It's all semantics really.  To me a flair player is someone who will pull out tricks and wild skills.  A creative player is one who thinks differently and will play a pass or make a run that others wouldn't attempt - but perhaps thY is vision?  Football manager has a lot to answer for!  

 

 

 

 

 

I was literally about to post that  I can see where everyone is coming from, basically.

 

Although, if that pass he put through in the five minutes of football he got against Slovakia(?) wasn't creative, I don't know what is.

Starting to get concerned about this, feel like we should have had some kind of emphatic statement if losing him is a definite no.

No news is good news, we are no longer in the Ashley era 

[morpeth mag]

I think the first thing we hear is that he has signed a new contract

So you don’t think being that constant outlet then often gathering the ball, driving down the left putting them on the back foot before making space to either get a shot off or assisting someone else isn’t being creative. What do you want him to do, stop and bake a cake whilst doing it?

 

I just see that more as being effective than creative. As I said above, probably just me who has a more narrow definition of what creative means 

[Whitley mag]

Just the scouse media in full throttle to unsettle him, I’d me more worried about Man City offering us stupid money for him.

If he is back and has not felt the need to speak out and rubbish all the speculation about him possibly going to Liverpool . . . what does that tell you??

He's told @Shadow Puppets just to get him away from his house😉

Just seen on SkyBet, Gordon is odds on to join Liverpool before the window closes. Make of that, what you will.

Means some money has gone it. More likely that than insider info imo.

Sandro has been busy...

If he does go, and I really hope he doesn’t, would the club feel like we’ve got enough cover on the left with Willock, Joelinton, Barnes and even Isak / Osula? The money would go on a starting centerback and right sided forward I guess?

Hypothetically, yeah I think that's the way to go. Not ideal, but our right is weaker than our left.

Yep, not sure we would have time either to replace him with top quality.

Aye it'll be this. I remember at one point earlier this summer odds on Ramsdale joining us were very short.

Or even Sky trying to bait people into thinking something interesting's happening so they jump on the bandwagon.

[Miggys First Goal]

He’s probably already signed the contract extension. Nee fucker knows anything about our business these days. 

[McCormick]

There’s definitely something going on; the Liverpool links are incessant. No smoke without fire etc. The reported 2 years left on his contract is a worry (as well our our PSR position next June) but still fairly hopeful we can tie him down to a new deal soon and all of this goes away.

Thats not definite at all though

[McCormick]

What do you mean?

[Guest]

Personally think if he was leaving, he'd have left in June and Minteh would still be here, probably Anderson too. Don't think we'll sell now.

I've a slight worry that Liverpool haven't signed anyone yet, however I'm convinced Gordon wants to stay.

Athletic article about Gomez' future;

 

 

Liverpool discussed selling Joe Gomez to Newcastle in June. His future is still uncertain

 

 

Negotiations were so advanced over the proposed transfer of Liverpool defender Joe Gomez to Newcastle United in late June that payment terms were discussed.

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes had agreed to sell Gomez for £45 million ($57.6m) based on winger Anthony Gordon heading in the opposite direction for £75million — two separate deals but each dependent on the other.

 

Newcastle CEO Darren Eales wanted the bulk of the fee for Gordon up front as Newcastle sought to raise funds before the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) reporting deadline.

Tentative enquiries were also made with the England camp about holding medicals for Gomez and Gordon during the European Championship in Germany.

Newcastle had initially wanted to sign Jarell Quansah but were informed that the 21-year-old academy graduate, who made 33 appearances during a breakthrough season in 2023-24, wasn’t available at any price.

 

However, when Newcastle turned their attention to Gomez, Liverpool were willing to negotiate. The club’s longest-serving player also made it clear during discussions that he was open to joining Eddie Howe’s squad. Newcastle were offering him regular game time in his preferred role as a right-sided centre-back.

 

At the eleventh hour, the deals were shelved. Newcastle backed out of letting Gordon leave when the £35m sale of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh’s £30m move to Brighton & Hove Albion gave them the £60m they needed before the PSR deadline on June 30 without offloading one of their biggest assets.

 

A month on, little has changed but the landscape could soon shift, with Gordon and Gomez returning to club duties next week following an extended break after their England commitments at the Euros.

Liverpool remain big admirers of Gordon, who had his head turned by the interest of the club he grew up supporting. However, Liverpool also appreciate that Newcastle, who intend to offer Gordon a new deal on improved terms, are no longer under the same financial pressures.
