2022/23 Anthony Gordon

£60M is bonkers

£40m is bonkers
£50m is bonkers
£60m is bonkers!

 

[jamieni]

The £60m depends on what the add-ons are. I'd personally hold out for the full £60m.

Sky Sports reporting its £50mill up front and £10mill add-ons. But it’s Sky Sports so take with a pinch of salt.

You HAVE to be accepting that I’m afraid. From a P&S point of view, that’s pure profit and gives us far more leverage to re-invest than selling Richarlison for example.

BUT, losing both Richarlison and Gordon and with ongoing injury issues to our main striker, that leaves us incredibly short in forward areas. Clocks ticking but this could be the most exciting end to a window we’ve had for years..

 

[GaryM]

£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 DCL. He'd keep us up.

 

[Nymzee]

Can't imagine watching him play and thinking "yep, £60m"

 

[nick_waters]

We would waste most of that 60 mill on dross, agents fees and silly wages.

 

[4737carlin]

This is silly, if we pull this off Kenwright is a legend

Can't imagine watching him play and thinking "yep, £60m"

But you wouldn't have thought that watching Cucurella at Brighton either, so it's possible with the new Chelsea owners. Especially with Tuchel already throwing his toys out of the pram like a baby because he had to take a bus

 

[Simon Buttle]

Spurs possibly ready to join in

 

[Aries]

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?

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

 

[flibbyflob]

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

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Hold out for 70 Ev.

And then tell them to do one.

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.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Can't imagine watching him play and thinking "yep, £60m"

In fairness, he’s very energetic. And look at the cost of energy.

 

[Death]

If we dont have the appropriate worth while players with pen in hand ready to sign. Then I dont care if its 100 million. If we can't get 2 or 3 ready to slot straight in to the first team and improve it. Then I dont care about the money.
