2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Trublue12]

It's 3 years left.

I'm starting to get cynical over this because I've saw 2 reported incorrectly in a few places. I think this is a deliberate error to fit the narrative.

Yeah if he has 3 years left, we can say we don't want to sell and see when Chelsea stop bidding.

 

[Ferguson1878]

This is officially the most confused I've ever been since I started following this sport

Still think paying 40 mill for siggurdson beats this

 

[bluestevon]

We sold Richy a month and a half ago, we made no effort (tangible) to replace, now people are buying the line we have to sell to buy again.

Utter bs.

Let's put it in plain terms, the club had to have factored the 10m fee for Dele into the budget - that will have ALL had to be paid up front. We also know there is money to spend just not much up front, well Dele leaving has just added 10m to up front payments straight away, and also frees up around 5m in wages, not counting any possible loan fee we receive.

That's circa 15m up front that the club wasn't counting on.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It's ok, but some discount for France has to be factored in.

Two years ago he was 15th most G+A per 90 for players with 2000+ minutes. Last year was 5th. He was at an age where progress would be expected.

He also looks the part. I'm sold up to about 30m.

 

[BlueToff]

I worry he has only had 1 good season.

Terrier?

Nine goals, 8 assists all comps in 20-21, following Raphina's departure too.

6 goals, 2 assist for Lyon in 19-20.

He's a wide forward not a striker. I maybe biased because like I said I rated him while he was at Lyon but he's been superb at Rennes.

 

[Perseus]

Like I said, the lads I know who have this information get it from very good sources at City. The 'openly published information you refer to' (which can only be reports, btw, as no transfer details are really exposed much in 'public' other than through reports), may well have been documented by one of them.

That assumption was not true either. Word for word quote from press conference.

I could at least explain that I think. This is hard for me to explain tbh.

We absolutely don't HAVE to sell Gordon.

But if we get an offer of £50m+ the debate is should we, because that money would completely change the landscape for us not just now but also over the next few windows.

I agree but if we sell him and sign the likes of adams maupay would we be any better off ?

 

[tommye]

Thanks, now I've got that tedious dirge of a song stuck in my head! Ha

And images of Mickers.

That's fair enough, like I said it was an assumption, so apologies. If you believe everything you hear in a press conference though then fair play!

Look, I trust the people I got that info from. I don't have any contacts for Everton, not really bar the ones well documented that everyone shares on here so I'm not gonna try blag any of that info as behind the scenes stuff, but for this I trust the lads I got it from. They're both journalists, both very good contacts at City.

 

[larbert toffee]

Oh so we're clear I would definitely not pay 40m for MGW

What has Michael Van Gerwen got to do with it?

I think we have to at that price. He's a big talent, but you never know how he will develop and that is a huge fee.

 

[TheBigIguana]

What has Michael Van Gerwin got to do with it?

I'd stick him up top over Rondon even

 

[Jcr1878]

Pep likes Gordon, might cause a bidding war?
