2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Baggzio]

I don't think we will ever be offered £45 - £50m again for Gordon, I don't mind Chelsea making it up with players, but please don't accept anything less than Broja and Conor Gallagher in exchange.
Gilmour and Batshuayi won't improve us

I think Gilmour improves the squad but I also would probably value him at under £10m, especially in a deal like this. Think if £50m is around the magic number we’re looking for then Broja + Gilmour and around £25m-£30m would be very good business on our end.

For what it’s worth Batshuayi also improves our squad at the minute because he’s an actual striker but I’d prefer the money instead and to go after someone else.

Next bid and he is gone. Sad to see but necessary, would put the club in a much better position for future spending

No pace without him could mean championship spending

 

[RomanReigns]

He will say his goodbyes to the fans tomorrow

He will say his goodbyes to the fans tomorrow

Honestly without him and richarlison, we break like dad's army. Give up me

Antwhere near 50 Mill for gordan is absolute crazy money. Football is gone crazy.

 

[Dharma]

The weeks events have naturally unsettled him, shouldn't be anywhere near the first team today.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Expecting a £50m performance from him today. That would equate to a match-winning performance with a goal or two from the youngster.

Zero chance of this happening since he hasn't once been able to do it and can't see it coming at this late stage.
Be great if he does, but highly unlikely

If he goes. in 2 years time his price will 80+.

Could be. His a good player. But also could go the other way.

 

[BlueToff]

That's pretty much my position.

I see him as a higher talent and certainly not the worst winger in the league (christ hes not even the worst winger at our club) but there comes a price where you need to sell. We are almost at that point.

Inevitably there will be animosity towards Gordon, but really he is a success story and should spur on future actions.

To prospective academy signings, you can go from Preston reserves to Chelsea on a huge salary in 15 months. To existing academy players- look what can be achieved. For the club, we probably sacrificed a handful of games, then 1/3 of a season where he had low/minimal output, got 1/2 a season of reasonable output and are getting paid 50m in the process. It makes a tonne more sense than continual short term fixes of say James/Sigurdsson etc.

This is the thing, it's exactly what Everton should be doing. We just have some stupid fans - every club does, obviously - who will think it's about Gordon thinking he's better etc.

 

[BlueToff]

He has to be better, your top attacker can't be producing what he has and that not be a problem

What the club can't do is cry poverty if they turn down that much, as they have done.

It's fair to make that decision if they have a valuation and it hasn't been met, which they do and as of yet it hasn't, but they can't then say 'well we just didn't have the money'.

So if they do keep him they better make sure they've got enough to get the type of players in we need, like an actual striker. There's no excuses if they don't.

It's kind of irrelevant what Gordon wants to me. I dont get people getting wound up over him. I dont care. I'll be glad if he goes as we will have a lot of money.

 

[Bluebonic]

Mustn’t be played today if we are selling him, just our luck that he will do a hammy or something :/ If we have decided to sell him, wrap him in bubble wrap and stick him in cold storage until we have the cheque in our hands

 

[PITA]

Scores tomorrow and lots of body language experts will log on

What? Even more RS?
