2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Simon Buttle]

Chelsea let Hudson Odoi go and don’t seem to have moved onto any other target so it does look like they’re still expecting a move.

They also look like they are moving Ziyech on as well.

I think we’re in a win win situation. If he goes we make good money and reinvest in a couple of players. If he stays I think his outputs will improve as he settles into the side. His finishing is getting better.

Yes probably mate. And weve kind of established his value, a bit like with Stones (who actually had a worse season but went for more money).

 

[catcherintherye]

And if he doesn't?

Well we will probably get less for him, but not dramatically so.

Top sides will still be cuing up to get a guy with Gordon's talent.

If there is any truth to 25mil plus Gallagher and Broja we'd have to entertain it surely?
Gordon is great, would hate to see him go but that seems a great deal doesn't it?!

There is no way that rumour is true. It's too easy for journalists once they latch onto the clubs sellable assets.

I doubt it ... His latest insta story is his highlights from the Brentford game and him with his fingers in his ears . Then did the same emoji

Frank Lampard has warned that Chelsea target Anthony Gordon would “see a different side to me” if the winger refused to play for Everton.

Wesley Fofana has been absent from Leicester’s squad amid interest from Chelsea and Wolves’ Willy Boly refused to play against Newcastle at the weekend in a bid to force through a departure, but Lampard insisted that was not Gordon’s style.

The Everton boss said: “Anthony wouldn’t, shouldn’t, couldn’t do that with me. If he did try and sit out a game he’d see a different side to me. No doubt about that and I think he knows that.

“I’m not playing the hard one, it’s just that it would be so alien from what I’d expect from him. I just know that’s not him.

“At the same time he’s not a robot and all this attention is difficult. I understand that, I was that ambitious young player.

“That’s the beauty of Anthony. Hard-working. He wants to be better. He wants to do what he did (on Saturday), which is score goals, run for this team, and that’s why he’s a delight to work with. So there was never any idea that Anthony would act that way.”

Lampard remains hopeful of retaining one of his prized assets, who is expected to start in Tuesday night’s Premier League game at Leeds.

“He’s in the squad Tuesday for sure,” Lampard said. “His character’s great. He’s in the squad.

“He’s a huge player for us. We’re getting towards the end of the window now and Anthony’s a huge player for us and will be this season.”

Gone up tenfold in my estimation

I was all for selling him, but have changed my tune.

He is very important to us, it sends a great message internally and won't diminish his value next summer.

Never in a million yrs is this true

Frank has apparently warned him about downing tools to force a move through.

More bowel gas mate ?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Heard tonight that the club view AG as Richy's replacement. Put this in the context of our seeming transfer rumours (from the club) then you can understand Franks comments about what we are looking for.

Fingers crossed it works out this way. You could argue his morale/performance could go on a downward spiral after his dreams of more money, challenging for honours and european football were dashed. I don't think it this will happen but a small part of me is wary about it.

If anything players tend to play better and work harder to improve when big clubs are showing an interest.

No, Chelsea never offered 50M + 10M add-ons too
