It contains EVERY player in Europe who is realistically attainable and ready to start for us on the wing in the fight for top 5.

Shak Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 FWIW I've a friend from Turkey (named Emre, funnily enough) who is hugely into football and he's been of the opinion since last summer that the Madrid move was too early for Guler. Top talent but a couple of years of having the team built around him would have been better than going to Madrid and trying to work his way into one. Anyway, hard to see any way that Madrid let him go. Maybe a loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 If we really don't have enough money to buy the CB, RW and back up striker we need as a minimum to progress, maybe we are looking to move Gordon on. If we could get around 80m it would give us the means to spend some serious cash and we already have an excellent player in Barnes who plays in AG position. Thoughts? Sensible ones preferably.

gbandit Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 The issue with that is that Gordon is already an extremely good LW but has the potential to become top five in the world due to his pace and his improvement in finishing last season. Barnes, while he can improve, is a lot more limited. Gordon will be worth more next season as well than he is right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different dynamic. Barnes is arguably better at scoring but offers very little of everything else Gordon brings to the team. Personally wouldn’t touch this.

People are just not prepared to entertain losing a crown jewel. It’s bound to happen sooner rather than later though. Guess Bruno would be more likely considering age and profile.

McDog Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Just now, Away Toon said: I was hoping this might start a measured intelligent nuanced discussion, however apparently not. I'll bite. While selling Gordon for 80M has it's upside, the squad morale and dressing room dynamic may take a dive. Gordon can play RW just fine although some on here just don't agree which is reasonable. I like Barnes alot and since I do not know the budget we have I'd not make that move unless the budget was zero. Flash will be a center piece next year.

Might suit all parties if Guler was interested. Ah, who am I kidding? No chance whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Sell Gordon. The idea is not that far fetched it sounds like we considered it already. Upgrade our CB options with a high class eventual replacement for Schar. Buy Raphinha or Madueke or someone similar for RW and replace Wilson with some young high potential striker. Probably still have some money left to avoid having to sell someone we don't want to lose next June. Not ideal for sure but we do appear to have serious PSR issues and will continue to do so going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not against that option at all, however Howe doesn't appear keen on Gordon playing RW and Barnes apparently can't play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good players that you are having to convince to join your club tend to say no if they see you selling your better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
