Anthony Gordon

[Kanji]

Sooo Edwards posts a crisis email about AG and then later that day the contract is nearly done and the next day Romano says it’s basically done. Never change Luke. 

[r0cafella]

The fact we are giving him a new contract after less than 25 good games kinda makes me thinking the contract expiry date of next summer 26 are true.

Clearly desperate to go to Liverpool if he's signed a new contract with us. Worrying.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I'm still confused by this transfer thing. So the club rejected several approaches while trying to sell him to Liverpool?

Technically we did right? Until we got shot of Anderson and Minteh we were ready to let him go go for Gomez and cash we eventually pulled the plug.

Romano says new deal Until 2029

[Kanji]

I thought Liverpool enquired. We said nah. Then it got more dire and we said maybe? 

[The Butcher]

Cracking news.

Wonder what the release clause is

Agreed.  Isak has been performing better for longer. But we have him on a long term deal.  The 3.5 years for Gordon was crazy and left us exposed.

My understanding was that our PSR position was known and that Liverpool made a proposition at a knockdown price and were told no. They were just trying their luck.

Best sort himself oot then

[Geogaddi]

Hopefully he starts running again and playing like last season now .

[LiquidAK]

Great news, 6 year deal is fantastic, either we keep a top class player or we have the leverage to get a good fee when the time comes. No idea why he offered him such a short deal in the first place, really weird one.

 

Hope this settles it in his head and he gets back to his best. To be honest I'm a bit put out that his head seemingly got turned so quickly and it had the impact it did. This will hopefully draw a line under it for good.

Yeah, I’ve heard almost all the permutations, haven’t been able to follow it. 

[Upthemags]

Time to perform

[HaydnNUFC]

Hopefully this ends whatever has been up with him and he pulls his finger out. Starting tomorrow.

[Joelinton7]

Can’t believe we’re stuck with this head -turned no show for the next six years

I'd suspect his agent will brief Romano next summer no doubt

[TRon]

I wonder if it will include a release clause? I doubt it tbh, but either way it's great news. He's a very good player for us, and this will mean it will take a lot of money if he does get sold at some point. We don't lose either way.
