2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[jamieni]

Spurs possibly ready to join in

Some Twitter rumours City are interested too but haven’t seen anything concrete.

For that sell. Buy Watkins and try and buy Gallagher.

I'm sure villa would also rate Watkins at £60m if Gordon is fetching the same. Seems we're breaking the transfer window again...

 

[ToffeeTim]

I mean, this doesn't go against what I'm saying does it lol

Nope, not at all. But we've been right to keep pushing the price up given who wants to buy the lad.

I couldn't get over the people all getting upset we didn't accept 40. Everyone knew they would come back with more, it was basic negotiating tactics from us.

A-hahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahaha!

A-hahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahaha!

There is surely no chance Spurs offer over 60m

Watkins is a lot older and not really wanted by Slippy though.

Honestly have no idea who people think we are going to get at this stage. We’ll be getting fleeced for other teams scraps.

£60m for AG, we have to bite their hands off. If we get that money then we have to go for Ollie Watkins who can play up front on his own or he can do a job alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He'd keep us up.

Villa would be demanding too much for him. He'd definitely cost £40m.

Take the £50+ 10m and shop abroad for three players.

 

[Langster]

You would hope that we already have deals in place once if this goes through. But then again, this is Everton....

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

For the love of god, please have decent people lined up if we agree to the sale.

Be arsed selling him then waiting to deadline day before we pay £90m for Harry Winks s as md Scott McTominay

Agreed mate, given that it looks significant bids are coming in, as mentioned earlier, I think we might be better putting all of the money off the debt to address FFP. It would be sickening in many respects but we need to address previous failures or we will be caught in the FFP trap everytime a transfer window comes up. Get shut of the debt and start looking at what we need and serious options, not panic buys with a couple of days of the window left when most of the decent players have gone.

If they do, it would be borderline negligence for us not to take it & run.

 

[ToffeeTim]

In defence of the board and director of football, they’ve surely known this was going to happen and have rightly refused to buckle to fan pressure to get a forward in that they probably weren’t totally convinced by. Why sign a Brereton Diaz for 10 million when you’re 99% sure you’re getting 50-60m in before the window closes and you can then go for a far higher quality striker?

We need 2 forwards. If they think Brereton Diaz is good enough, then the fee being <£15m shouldn't change that. We can now spend bigger on a forward but we won't be able to spend big on two of them.

 

[roy vernon]

The daily fail are saying new bid of 60 mill including 10 mill add ons. If true, I'm afraid its bye bye Anthony.

 

[Papa Shango]

Online sources are suggesting that Spurs are about to come back with a bigger bid than Chelsea! Man U monitoring the situation. Anything less than 80 million this late in the window is robbery.

I also agree with Michael Balls comments that the danger is we will get fleeced for a dud if we have to replace him now. It might be better to just put any possible sales money off the debt to free up FFP wriggle room in the next window.

I get the concerns as we have hardly covered ourselves in glory in the past but we can not keep thinking that way, if you did you would never do any transfers.

Just need to hope there is a plan in place.

Time for Chelsea to change from “prepared”, to actually submitting a formal bid.

It’s Tuesday, we need to get the wheels in motion on signing a striker before Friday.
