Player Valuation: £80m
We should have sold Barkley earlier. We have not got a good track record of turning very talented 18-22 year olds into world class players. Theres obviously a number of structural reasons why (mainly terrible culture from top down filled with losers) but that's where we are at. Theres nothing wrong with taking a fee, even in the acceptance that he may go on to be better.
What we have done with Gordon feels a sweet spot for us. We got similar with Barkley and he sort of stagnated. Not sure if Gordon will, but I'm happy cashing the 40-50m insurance policy now that says he doesnt go on to the next level.

Like they've come in with their first bid we go the other way we meet in the middle with a fair wedge and Broja. Unless we try it we'll never know how desperate they are for him.
There are an awful lot of other players we really needed to move on so its disappointing that there's no movement on that and instead we may lose Gordon.
We are dealing with Chelsea so we need to push them as far as we can. We need to be prepared to hold out for the very best possible deal and use the precedent they set this summer in our favour.
I think we've put ourselves in a bad position with the daft McNeil deal. That money needed to go on a goalscorer. Now we have no goals and may need to sell ANOTHER important first team player to fix it.
Its pretty depressing stuff. Especially the fact our future would then be in the hands of the recruitment team and I have next to no faith in them.

if only the former Barca and Bayern man - I mean, Preston and New York man had a bigger rolodex of contacts eh... Imagine the possibilities.
it sends out all the wrong messages mate as an actual club. sell your best players not build a team around them
Everything
I think generally he has performed well all things considered but ultimately his end product has left a lot to be desired.
But, of course as you rightly say, that's been in a struggling team with other poorer players (although we've downgraded from last season as that's when he was playing with Richarlison and now he's starting with McNeil)
were going backwards

I meant permanent for Broja loan for Gallagher

We are a club that makes bugger all money, Richarlison fills last year's hole - Gordon could do this year and Kean the following one. Else we are selling DCL with our trousers down as everyone knows we need the cash.
Might mean we can shift others like Allan from a position of strength too.

Theres an FFP fiddle to be done, and partly why it alarms me to see Batshuayi mentioned (who has no value and is not someone I want to see on a long term deal). I hope that is just Chelsea's end though.
One issue with Gallacher/Broja is how we value the. I'm not sure we value either at as high as 20m. Maybe we do though, and it becomes quite easy to conclude.
That's fine, I see the point.
But he's not actually that good. So if we got an offer of £50m, it could be too good to turn down.
I like Gordon, he'd be a miss and we'd need to replace him quickly but we would have money to do it and frankly, you can get far more productive players (and talented) for much less than £50m.
