Gordon would have been a great buy at a reasonable price. Would have been a great option in certain games to stretch certain teams and a great option from the bench.
29 Jun 2024 17:09:20
And suppose the price being offered was above the level you consider "reasonable"? Given Newcastle were suggesting it, I doubt they'd have left themselves short.
29 Jun 2024 17:31:03
Is there any truth in the rumours about Newcastle wanting to take Quansah as part of the deal, or is it just pure Twitter speculation?
For me, Gordon would be a major downgrade on what we already have.
29 Jun 2024 17:36:16
With us being heavily linked to Gordon today do we think that's the biggest hint yet that the writing is on the wall for Diaz.
29 Jun 2024 18:03:22
Apparently they wanted Quansah included in a deal worth £100m in total. Quite right we turned that down. If they need a CB, maybe we could offer them van den Berg or Gomez in a deal worth more like £75m.
Gordon is a very good player who can play LW/ CF/ RW. Also a home-grown and a Liverpool fan. With that in mind he’d be a good signing if Diaz were to leave.
29 Jun 2024 19:04:54
I think Gordon gets 15 plus goals a season playing for us. He's the type that would thrive for us imo and with slot being apparently a great coach the lad can only improve. Regardless we've moved on.
29 Jun 2024 20:11:58
Gomez and 75m are you joking? I think Gordon could be a decent signing but not at that those sorts of fees and certainly not talented players like Gomez who is very reliable.
29 Jun 2024 20:36:44
Doubt anyone wants Gonez @MK. That being said Gordon is a decent player, he has blistering pace and is at a very good age for development. Salah also came with the same reputation. Didn’t he?
29 Jun 2024 20:41:09
I said offer Gomez or Sepp in a deal worth £75m. Not Gomez plus £75m. I’d say Gomez is worth roughly £25m in today’s market so a deal worth £75m would be Gomez + £50m (based on my subjective valuation of Gomez) .
Before you jump down someone’s throat, maybe ask yourself if you have actually bothered to understand what’s been written in future you muppet ?
To simplify it for you I think Gordon is worth £75m based on similar profile transfers and I would rather use Gomez or Sepp as a makeweight than Quansah; a 21 year old club trained player who ended the season as a starting CB for us. It wasn’t an unreasonable comment at all so wind your neck in.
29 Jun 2024 21:58:23
Could someone please tell me how Gordon would improves us?
29 Jun 2024 22:59:35
MK, seems a bit of an overreaction response there, especially from yourself.
Anyway, regarding your first comment, why trade a home grown, Liverpool supporting player who can play across the whole back line on an area considered our weakest (defence) for a Liverpool supporting player who, let's be honest, wouldn't strengthen an already congested forward line.
29 Jun 2024 23:11:11
He's better in front of goal than Diaz. He created 16 big chances this season Diaz has 9 since he joined. Gordon is on an upward trajectory he'll keep getting better. He'll be at one of the bigger clubs soon. Diaz was better 2 years ago before he got injured away to Arsenal he's been very average since. We can do better than Gordon but he'd definitely improve us. He can play on the right too. Ticks a lot of boxes but the price spoken about is crazy.
29 Jun 2024 21:03:54
We don’t want Gordon according to the BBC - it was Newcastle pushing. Apparently.
29 Jun 2024 21:27:23
Does Liverpool have a left wing fetish? I hear tradition is a left wing city but maybe this is too far?
30 Jun 2024 00:24:11
Gordan only if Diaz leaves and Gordan is much younger and English
plus he is good mates with curtis Jones.
30 Jun 2024 08:19:05
What I don’t get is we have had a pile on certain players the last couple of weeks whether it was jone or Konate but seem happy to sign a player most have slagged off for his dives and behaviour in Gordon . we have a player who hasn’t been played often in his natural position often.
30 Jun 2024 08:45:28
Im surprised people think another club would take Gomez for more than a grain of salt given how average he is described as on here.
29 Jun 2024 21:32:57
I would probably straight swap Diaz for Gordon. Whatever we get for Diaz I would have been happy spending it on Gordon.
Isn’t this a mad dash by NUFC to meet PSR deadline tomorrow? It could still be on.
{Ed002's Note - Newcastle has no interest in Diaz.}
30 Jun 2024 11:43:30
MK nothing needs simplifying, read your original post and what you’ve insinuated and I reiterate you must be joking. I don’t care what faux numbers you're propagating, but your initial point was rubbish. You’re one of a small merry band of posters who think they’re some sort of editorial figure, when generally your points virtuous crap. “Muppet”.
30 Jun 2024 11:21:05
Sorry Ed002, I didn’t make it clear.
I meant from a financial POV. i. e. if Diaz were to go for £50m then I’d be comfortable using £50m to sign Gordon. In terms of the squad, I’m happy with a straight swap Gordon for Diaz. Money wise I think they’ll probably attract similar fees.
{Ed002's Note - I see Ron. Of course it doesn't work like that - but I have spoken to a couple of people about Gordon now and can give an update:
Anthony Gordon (LW/F) I find it very surprising that Liverpool have indeed enquired after Gordon as an option ahead of others they have been considering as a Luiz replacement including Federico Chiesa. Newcastle may be open to a sale if the player pushes - which he may do considering the circumstances he left Everton under. There is no indication, beyond an initial enquiry, how far any discussions have gone nor the potential structure of any deal.}
30 Jun 2024 17:33:22
Mk you troll Gomez daily you do realise his friend square tomato is on here leave it out for a day will you nobody else is as critical as him and he was one of our best players last season we would be screwed without his versatility he took over the milner role.
30 Jun 2024 20:24:24
Colonel, I don’t troll Gomez. I’ve said I think he is a player we can improve on and along with Tsimikas I’ve said they’re the weakest senior players in the squad. But i’ve also said Gomez might suit Slot’s fluid system because he is able to alternate positions, and I also said I like him as 2nd choice RB. That’s not trolling. I have explained I don’t like him at LB because we end up lacking width (because he isn’t left footed) and that it encourages him to come inside and hit shots from distance which he really isn’t good at. I’m also not keen on him as a starter at CB since his knee injury but I don’t mind him as 4th or 5th choice as he is currently. Constructive criticism is very different to trolling. I don call him rubbish, or say he can’t defend, or say he has no position in football etc. I simply state what I think he needs to do better and what I think he does well.
Stuie, I think my reply was as equally lacking in respect as Frodes was. If people can’t hack prickly replies they shouldn’t lead with prickly replies. I wasn’t intending to be respectful, because he wasn’t either. I’m not going to tip toe around sensitive people who can give it but can’t take it.
Frode, I’ve re-read it and upon reflection I can confirm you are either being too stubborn to admit you were wrong or English isn’t your first language. This isn’t the first time we’ve clashed, so I’ll do you a favour and ignore you going forward. Would appreciate if you would do the same because I don’t have the energy for it ??.
