Gwlad Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 6 hours ago, Goodison Glory said: I agree we can't turn this down but we must have Gallagher (loan more likely) and Broja (perm) in return. Then we take a punt on another striker (Che Adams, Breton etc) I don't think Gallagher would want to come to us on a permanent deal but loan might suit. Mind you, who's to say that Palace might be interested again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Christ I hope this doesn't come back to bite us. I understand he's been played out of position this season but he just doesn't look interested and I worry that his head's been turned. Plus that is....so much money to turn down.

It has to be that we aren’t sure we can bring in someone this window on such limited time. That or the deal is structured in a way where we wouldn’t have that much money available this window. In a raw sense I don’t think Gordon is worth half of 60m right now. English, potential etc.. but for what he provides now..def not. It’s actually quite a statement from the club given how much this would do to put our finances right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodison Glory Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Can anyone tell me what the latest bid was - can't see it on BBC, Sky Sports etc. Can see that Chelsea also had their bid for Fofana turned down. Their resolve is going to be tested this next week..how badly do they want these players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wall Writer Posted August 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Conspiracy theory..... rejected because we're holding out for transfer deadline day, so we don't have time to spend the money. Blue Bill pockets the 50-60m and runs off into the sunset, digs up the Arteta money from the map he drew on the back of a Everton hospitality suite napkin and opens a broadway theatrical based no the original Z Cars show.

Cornish Steve Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Excellent that we’re at last learning to negotiate. The financials look good, but we should play hardball in getting the Chelsea players we want in return. Chelsea boasted they were confident in getting Gordon, so the pressure is all in them.

Bailey Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 If the player does want to go (which there is some evidence of/suggestion im Gordon's case), then I don't think it ever really works out that well for either party in the long term. The player rarely ever goes on to have a really good season, the price goes down and there is a risk of an unhappy player. I don't feel like Gordon is the type of character to play up but I also wouldn't expect him to kick on either which is what we need him to do this season.

Hafnia Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Get us playing hardball, maybe we are leveraging Spurs interest. chelsea will know quite clearly what we want for him and are probably kicking tyres and we are getting pissed off. Broja is our top target, he will no doubt be included in the deal somehow and we will want the money in a way that enables us to get more players. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 If we are rejecting this offer and holding out for a bit more then I think that is a stupid decision. I hope we are rejecting offers because the player isn't going to be sold. The less time we have to bring in players, the more it will affect us and no amount of extra money is going to make up for that. chicagoblue, Matt, Shukes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
