2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[TheNinja]

I am a bit annoyed now, Gordon is darn near hinting he would like to move. So much for club loyalty.

Upto a day ago Chelsea hinting at including a player exchange, Batasuyahi but also said to be offering 40-45 Mill caxh .

Has Gordon commented on this yet?

Well Gordon is going by the look of that interview and frank probably not happy or confused. Another player not playing tomorrow. I’m trying to be positive but how many times do we find ourselves in this position, regardless of finance.

The answer is sitting in the directors seats and has been for 20+ years

 

[ToffeeTim]

Fair enough, but so far then, they've done all you could ask for.

I support them holding out for as much as possible but we need to have a deadline and a figure, and stick firmly to both. If that means keeping the player, then fine by me.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Depends if Chelsea want to go that high. They've offers in for other players and may wait before coming back depending on what happens elsewhere.

My feeling is we either need to sell before this weekend, or not at all this window.

They've gone to 45m. If 50m is the number reasonable sides get that done

And we might, when they offer it ?

Not as far as I am aware but one never knows if he just is keeping quiet, or is it just the rumour mongering. But Chelsea are not keeping their interest quiet.

I think people are overstating how gutted Lampard would be by selling Gordon. Yeah, he's spoken very warmly about him but I thought that press conference sounded more like he was ramping the price than determined not to sell.

Lampard's been around world class players all his life, he knows what one looks like, or what world class potential looks like. And he sees Gordon at close quarters every day. He is well placed to objectively judge the good and bad in Gordon, what is a good offer and to compare the quality we could get in to replace him.

But again, it seems to me that's exactly what they've done so far. We don't know if there's a deadline, or if there isn't. ?

We don't, but I think the game tomorrow should be the timeframe. If he starts tomorrow then I think he should stay.

Unless he is very unhappy and wants to leave - in that case I would sell. But I've not heard that mentioned.

To be fair it's not likely to be mate. At least not until a decision is made and they look to fix the PR around it.

I think I counted 8 times Lampard used the word 'value' their today.

Tells its own story that.

He was practically talking directly to Tuchel.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Have to say if Gordon has told him he wants to stay, or if the club was adamant he isn't being sold, then Frankie would have answered those questions very differently. This must be like Christmas come early for Bill. If you're gonna go, Ant, at least put in a performance that shows why Chelsea want to sign you.

Shouldn't be risked till the moneys' in the bank.

I didn't take that from the press conference at all

I thought Frank was very pragmatic, and if we lose Gordon, he wants a fee commensurate with if MGS just went for 44.5 million, Gordon is certainly above that given his PL experience. He's an important player, and if we lose him and are well compensated for it, then so be it
