2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Jadubsee]

Keep unless the bid reaches £50m and the vast majority of that is up front. Would be a shame not to see him reach his potential here but every player has a price.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Nah he's a right winger, that got used as a full-back pretty effectively.

Ace, bring him into the squad then. Heard rave reviews about him.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I slept on it and still can't see a reason this shouldn't be wrapped up by the end of the day

“Formal offer” “expecting” “welcoming”: there is a lot of wiggle room in the language coming out of the club side.

From Myers, the echo + toffee tv it seems the club wants to portray that we're keeping him no matter what. I'm guessing someone inside the club, prob someone with links to the echo and myers has released this info to them.

Someone shut down the server?

No coincidence that Myers, The Echo and Toffee TV r the ones running with this 'no bid received' and 'he's not for sale' story btw.

Why's it no coincidence?

 

[Dharma]

He doesn't create, he doesn't assist, he doesn't score.
He is however, very good at strolling about the pitch like he owns the gaff.

Getting £40m for this lad is great business. Simple as that.

I'm very sceptical as to why these 3 have come out virtually within a hour and tried to say the club haven't received a bid when every other credible source is saying otherwise?

 

[Colonel Getafe]

No. Just no.
We'll sign a striker without having to sell him. We need to keep players who care about the club and have something about them rather than signing more mercs that will just see us as a stepping stone.
If he was an Italian called antonio gordalini people wouldn't be in such a rush to sell.

Well we're not an elite level club, so in real terms we ARE a stepping stone club, for players capable of going on to the next level.

I'm not saying we should sign 30 year old mercenaries left right and center but look at the likes of Brighton and Leics and Southampton and Brentford etc - all recognise their place in the pyramid, all develop players, sell for profit and re-invest. Isn't that exactly what are fan base has been screaming for us to do for years?

£45m for a lad with 4 goals in 51 apps and very little end product is a no-brainer. Invest that wisely and we could kick on a level. Reject it, and we're just treading water for another year.

Chelsea won't be stupid enough to pay 47.5m for Sterling and then blow 50m on Gordon. It is not happening.

They will. Their new Yank owner looks clueless so far.

Why do you think they have?

 

[The Bobble]

We 100% received a bid of just over 40million (42million to be exact). It was rejected on Sunday afternoon. Talks have not been terminated yet, so the ball is back in Chelsea’s court so to speak.

The club publicly are standing firm with the ‘not for sale’ stance (not sure what else we expect, they are hardly going to to say he’s available to the local press).

Everton are open to a player plus cash deal if the right person was available from Chelsea.

Your move Chelsea…

They spent £63m on Cucurella.

It’s not about what their “worth” is it’s the price the selling club are prepared to sell for.

 

[Jebus_lives]

On the topic of Gordon though, would you sell for £50m?

Sadly I think we the levels of mismanagement we've seen, it's inevitable. We badly need a striker, we have limited funds and we have few sellable assets.

We must be looking to get maximum value for him. Clubs like Chelsea can afford to gamble heavily on potential. I think if they bid £50m+ we'll see him sold.
