England’s Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

The Liverpool connection is what made me think it was fake, because then you get clicks from three sets of supporters: Liverpool excited about it, Newcastle worried about it, and angry clicks (the best kind of click) from Everton.

 

If you were going to float a fake rumor to get clicks, that's an excellent choice.

I can chime in on this one (don’t have any info on Anderson or Minteh, but do on this).

 

We didn’t offer him to Liverpool. Liverpool did enquire a couple of weeks ago, and again at some point last week, but we said no. No intentions of selling him at all.
 

AG is absolutely fine and perfectly happy here. No issues. No “heads turned”. Just clickbait guesswork journalism. Some of his family have just moved up here too.

 

Shadow Puppets.... marry me.

So they just went with the biggest names to get a bunch of clicks.

 

Cannot stand this click baiting approach all these folks go with now.

 

It's so lazy and dumb.

But it gets the bites! Look around. O0 Journos first to a story, not necessarily the truth.

Nothing wrong with suggesting Gordon COULD have been interested in a move to Liverpool, suggesting he somehow won't be utterly focused on us is an absolute cunts trick.

The generally reliable Chris Waugh even mentioned the head-turned thing a bit too....I mean are people just making that up?


See Craig Hope’s disgusting coverage of the Trippier Bayern link for a solid example of journalistic twisting of words / angle building. He tweeted that Tripps “jetted back from NYC to seal the move”, when in 100% reality he was in NYC with his family and was flying back anyway.

 

I don’t necessarily think they just make shit up 100%… they get told info by certain sources… doesn’t make that info true. They then choose to report it however they see fit… some choose to be conservative with their info, some choose to create an angle out of everything.
 

Anyway, from my usual sources AG is fine. Happy as usual. I think most players will probably be flattered by interest from teams like Bayern / Liverpool, but it’s journalistic stretching to say “head turned”.

That "Will" account on twitter has repeated this info since you posted it.  "ITK" or forum lurker...

To be fair, he didn't say his head was turned, but people in the club feared that it could be the case.

I’m hearing reports he’s away mind - hopefully wrong but he’s on the ball usually - gutted if true 

 

Yes he is, he is away in Germany.

 

BUT he will be back home to Newcastle very soon !!!

The club have already briefed that they have no intention of selling him. They also have no need to.

 

IF and that's a big IF, you are talking 100m + to get us to the table.
