£75m for Gordon? Errr... nope, need a bit more than that thanks.

 

 

 

Don’t forget we would’ve got a decent stop gap until Botman is back fit though for a mere £45m.

Liverpool Echo claim the move could be revived and the Newcastle winger could still move to Anfield this summer.
 

They report:

It had been known back in late June that Liverpool were offered Gordon by Newcastle with the proviso Jarell Quansah moved in the opposite direction, a deal the Reds swiftly dismissed given Quansah is seen as a key tenet in their future team at centre-back. But that they subsequently agreed a deal for Gordon makes it unequivocal - they want him and the player wants to join.

Of course, long is the list of players who came close to completing a transfer only to ultimately never make the proposed move. It happens regularly.

But there's a sense Liverpool's interest in Gordon - and Newcastle's private acceptance the winger wants to go to Anfield - isn't going to dissipate any time soon. The prevailing mood suggests there would be increasingly little surprise should the player end up with the Reds sooner rather than later.
 

Gordon's previous career at Everton is unlikely - well, Merseyside derbies apart - to cause much of an issue, given the Scouser was a boyhood Liverpool supporter and has rarely hidden his admiration for the club.

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.

Grim as fuck if he leaves for Liverpool this window or ever

He'll have a new contract very soon IMO.

Hopefully with a release clause so people can still spend the season needlessly shitting themselves

Personally I don’t see people shitting themselves though. 99% that even talk about it they more or less mean hypothetically (imply) at how shit it would be. Myself I’m 90% certain that he’ll stay. Even if he did go then so be it. I only want players that genuinely want to stay (which I think he wants).

Gordon is good and a key part of the team, but I'd be less concerned at losing him than Bruno or Isak. 
Good left wingers are readily available, and would have faith in buying an as good if not better. 
Would struggle to do that with the other two.

£75m for Gordon is low if we have him on a long term deal.

This is based off an opinion piece from the Echo's equivalent of Lee Ryder, fwiw.

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.

[Paulinho]

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.

[huss9]

Rather sell Bruno to citeh.

[Nucasol]

The Liverpudlian press agenda on this is minging. Client journos assemble…

[HawK]

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

That's what she said.

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.

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.

I feel like if people are going to keep bumping this thread now every message should either start with 'NO NEW INFO, DON'T PANIC' or 'FUCKING PANIC LADS'

[Decky]

Can't see Gordon leaving this window but if he keeps improving and we don't start winning trophies and being in Europe every year then it'll happen at some point.
