£50m for Gordon is unreal. If that‘s mean we can reinvest on 3 established attacking players we have no choice but to accept the offer.

Not exactly, but it would allow us to dramatically swell our spending beyond the £50m in. For these things apparently, the figures for transfers out go into the FFP accounts as £50m straight away (even though that fee will be paid in installments), whereas transfers in are amortised (so divided over length of contract). So we could arguably spend £50 m this summer, but it could be on several deals whose sum total is hugely in excess of £50m - the £50m would just cover expenditure this year.
Obviously, there are other factors- wage bill can't be above a certain % (and we are struggling with that ), are our accounts good enough to just reinvest that monet completely on the team etc.
But that's how I understand it.

Take both but do them separately. Gordon out for £50m plus sell-on clause. Gallagher in for £35m and Broja loan with option to buy with the Moise Kean money.

£35m for Gallagher is mad. Same with Gibbs-White for £40m

The point is that he is the type of player teams want to buy, the rest you mention, not so much.

Yeah, it might be technically Thelwell’s decision to make but a move this big shouldn’t happen without Frank on board, not with the season underway. That just risks fracturing the club entirely.
Lampard is also in the best position to judge the merits of the deal: he’s been around elite level players all his life and will know deep down whether Gordon is on that level. He’s been publicly full of praise for him but he won’t be unaware of his flaws.
