Shukes Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 SSN saying they believe Everton have not received any bids for Gordon. This is a crazy rumour. If they offer the figures that are being touted…. Then he’s gone, simple as that.  We’ve just paid for potential, it hasn’t cost us 50m and at 20 Onana is showing much more potential and product after just ten minutes of football.

Agreed mate clubs don’t pay 40-50m on potential that’s the sort of money shelled out on the finished article, to say it’s all been fake news in reality make’s much more sense than we’ve been offered 50m on a long shot. badaids and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 If they really want him, and open with numbers like £42m, and Everton don’t want to sell, then we need to be asking for £60m and if they are willing to pay it then let them. They could have had Richarlison for sort of money they are offering for Gordon. I know who I’d rather have. Gordon may take much less wages, but that wouldn’t be an issue for them anyway. Matt, Quinn31 and RuffRob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to do more before he takes big money. dunlopp9987, Wiggytop, MikeO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he won’t be anywhere near the top earners if he does. Likely (hopefully) it’ll be full of increases based on appearances and performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 So Gordon was offered a three year contract three weeks ago and it’s not signed? And his representatives are saying he won’t be signing a new contract as he wants out. Has something happened that I’ve missed? Always thought he was an Evertonian. Unless somethings happened behind the scenes. Come on all you ITKs I want to know!!!!! I want to know now!!!!! Stamps feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then low and behold right at the beginning of the season he is being asked to sacrifice himself once again and this time become the central striker, and that has led to him looking like a below average player, then Chelsea come in and talk a good game with him and he’s probably thinking they get me more than here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 It's the Mirror, hardly the oracle of Delphi in relation to Everton. Would be unlikely to want out as he would not play enough games at Chelsea to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a number 9 they're crying out for. Gordon will barely play, said that last night in here. It's the Chelsea way though isn't it, transfer policy obviously not changed under new owners. They've often bought players who have looked good at "lesser" teams in the league after a successful season, sit them on the bench or loan them out for a few years then sell them off again. From a footballing point of view it surely wouldn't take much for Gordon to see that right now he's much better off at Everton. He will get regular game time, is considered a key member of the squad and is loved by fans so is afforded errors and sometimes lack of end product that Chelsea having paid 40+ million for him wouldn't appreciate. If he is good enough then he'll get that Champions League team move soon enough but the experience he will gain from playing every week for Everton is much better than what he'll get as a bit part player in a top team. If he isn't pushing for the move however and it's just down to an acceptable price then that's different. I think it would be a shame to lose him, we haven't had a player come through the academy and be a real success for some time and it would be a shame to lose Gordon before he's really done much but has shown great potential and a passion to put the shirt on. Sadly football comes so much down to finances and if they offer us a good enough deal then we have to take it. I wouldn't accept less than 50m. How many quality players will you bring in for 40m, 1 maybe 2. An extra 10m doesn't change that much but is substantial enough that it covers wages and boosts our financial position generally.

FairWooney Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Ross Barkley...NO He was a frustrating player when he played for us and besides a few glimpses for Villa he's not anything to show he's really improved.  Has always lacked the intelligence to prove out his potential and I don't see why we'd want to take on a 28 year old in his position. I'd rather we took on someone coming through with potential than someone that has failed for long to reach it.

Matt Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 If Gordon wants to go, then we hold all the cards. That's a massive chunk of money for potential, and unfortunately we need to look at short term rather than mid/long term. That money allows us to improve short term (assuming board don't get too involved) so, whilst I was on the fence, it's becoming a no-brainer for me. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
