Anthony Gordon

[wrd]

Well if they owe us 20 for Dele and Winks is 20 then 30 for Gordon might be great value for business for us? I get the impression we aren't refreshing HSBC waiting for the dele money to come in.

 

[Jamturk]

I wonder what triggered the £20m for Dele because he has hardly played.

 

[mil1lion]

Honestly, who writes this shite? Surely another £20-£30m at least would need to be added

[hughy]

So glad we got Richarlison sealed before this. If there's any truth they'll be blocking our number. ?

 

[Impspur1]

There seems to be some real pressure for Everton because no matter what happens with Gordon they still owe us £20m for Dele.

Lots of ifs and buts and maybes for that though

Neil Moxley

I was going more down the rhetorical question route but thanks anyway ?

 

[Pekoni]

With any other club it wouldn't happen, but Everton is Everton, so you never know. They'll be vandalizing Moshiri's house if it happens.

 

[kcfiifotk]

My boys are both Everton fans. They won't speak to me until Christmas if this happens. Possibly not even then ?

 

[Mr Pink]

It so comical you're actually in disbelief reading it

Give them a spurs shirt with Gordon's name on it as Xmas Present if the deal happens

Yeah. Made me read it twice. How do you support Spurs, have two kids and let them go on to support Everton. ?

I think the structure of the deal was very carefully crafted with Everton’s FFP trouble in mind. They couldn’t afford a fee or even a loan with obligation as they would have to report the obligation as a debt on their books, so instead we seem to have structured it as a “free” with lots of performance based triggers, which I expect are accounted for differently as they are not guaranteed expenditures. If they owe us 20m already then clearly we made some of those incentives extremely easy to meet so we would have a guaranteed floor to the transfer value.

I’m doing that thing that I hate again, but… doesn’t that look like the profile of a winger Conte could mold into a wing-back?

 

[N'Obody]

As funny as it sounds. I think this may have legs. We need to up our HG numbers. He's young and has alot of potential, presses like a mad man, and could potentially cover multiple positions. I'm all for it for a low fee.

Wouldn’t have been a player I would have been desperate to sign at the start of the window but did like the look of him whenever I watched Everton last season. Always looked to make things happen and not afraid to get stuck in

I completely agree, looking at his stats and play style I think he’s perfect for the right wing back role. Still, I don’t think we are getting him for anything remotely reasonable.

I think this one may be a goer if we don't get Spence.

 

[ardiles]

I get a feeling that this is being leaked out to put a little pressure on ‘Boro.

 

[fecka]

Gordon would be almost double the price of Spence but the way he scraps and has proven in the prem that he's able to beat his man in a controlled fashion regularly actually makes me want him more than Spence at RWB. Just as with Perisic he could also cover the LW and RW spot in case of injury crisis.

Why? different positions and no limit on the number of promising young players we can sign at a decent price.
