2022/23 Anthony Gordon

I like Gordon and think he has potential, but £50m has to be accepted in the real world. Even if he turns into a top player at Chelsea that’s an incredible fee for an academy graduate.

50m is a fantastic fee which we have to take. It doesnt matter what happens after that. He will be one of the few things the club has done well over the last 5 years. We need to be more ruthless.

who? stick gray upfront?

In an ideal world we would reinvest the fee wisely.

That's my whole point. Think we've recruited well this summer and would hope it continued.

 

[catcherintherye]

He's English so is worth taking a chance on.

Elite/World Class. ???????

You dont pay over 40m for a player unless you think he will become elite mate.

They're not a charity.

The only way I would keep him is if FL insists on it.

Its not a good look for the manager and club only weeks ago do a PR piece stating he's not going anywhere and then sell him.

Just wait until his Dad sees the massive signing bonus Chelsea will give the lad and his cut of it.

everton and an ideal world is a bit worrying

we still can’t find a striker i don’t hold much for trying to find a player to fill the gordon role

This new yank looks nuts. He thinks he's playing with toy money by the looks of it.

Indeed. 50m player isn't on peanuts.

This is Chelsea likely investing nigh on 75m in fee and wages over say 5 years.

As soon as that story came out, I know he is gone, and honestly I knew it was a much bigger plan.

It was utter nonsense as well, that a lad 3 years on a deal not signing one means he has to leave. It's just nonsense. It's been put out by a journo close to Kenwright deliberately. It will be done quite quickly from here.

I always felt we would sell 2, and felt it would DCL but his injury has seen to that.

It's sad how quickly people turn. Hes yet another young player who will have brought significant funds into the club, which is more than Bill has ever done.

This is going a bit deep like, but I do wonder if all the jobs for the boys stuff is a reflection of the guilt Kenwright feels at his shady antics. Always felt like overkill.

Another Kenwright conspiracy. Lol you lot are embarrassing

I'm not sure it's a conspiracy to say he will sell 2 key players, then try to put the blame on them. It's exactly what's happening, and has happened multiple times previously.

Its 2022, clubs regularly spend around £40m+ on players who are not elite.

 

[trueblue84]

It's not forcing a player out. It's accepting a ludicrous offer for a player that at best has potential. He hasn't shown that he is going to be world class so far.

You have proof of this don't you
