Transfer Discussion Thread

Gordon to Barcelona is one of the most bizarre unexpected signings of recent times.

The Gordon from Everton to Newcastle?

He barely scored in open way this season

If you are spending big money on a player it is pretty low risk doing so on an English player like Gordon. Even if he is shit in La Liga there will be some mug in the PL that will give you your money back, see Gallagher.

Maybe Barcelona saw that at one time Everton had Carlo Ancelotti and Marco Materazzi and thought Anthony Gordon doesn’t look so bad.

i like gordon but i thought a newcastle was around his level. maybe if he strung together a couple 10 goal/10 assist seasons he would get to a top 4 club. but he'll get more space in spain with barca, and as said above if it doesnt work out, barca probably at least make their 70mil back.

Gordon’s CL numbers were very good and likely has put himself in the shop window for Barca.

Where they all of a sudden fund the funds for these transactions is an annual spectacle.

Hope Atleti fleece them hard for Alvarez. What a player he is, magnificent.

I hope they keep stalling them and we swoop in at the 11th hour

If Gordon's going for that, what's Rogers going to go for?

Not in this case. He was dull at Newcastle.

The Barcelona that produced Messi, Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta is going after Gordon.

He needs to buy lotto tickets, because that’s incredible luck

This is Barcelona strategy. Jordi Cruyff said so on Gary Neville's podcast.

Bayern, Liverpool & Arsenal were also linked with him. Either way he was going to a top club so I don’t think Barca getting him is that big of a shock.

Gordon reportedly on 300k a week at Barca

Just mind boggling.

So basically we can’t even say Barcelona brought Gordon for £40 million more than Rashford would have cost because of Rashford’s ridiculous wages.

What must Rashy be thinking with Barca quibbling over 30m for him when they dropped 70m no questions asked on Gordon ?

Their expected turnover this season is likely to be 30-40% more than Man City and Liverpool.

They are no longer hamstrung by losses over X year.

Really just comes down to their wage bill and what ongoing transfer liabilities they still have

 

[RPCB]

I guess there won’t be any MSN (Messi, Suarez, Neymar) type acronyms next season with Barcelona, given their attackers are Gordon, Alvarez, Yamal?

Isn't a huge chunk of that turnover tied to obligations that allowed to spend in previous years?

He'll be off to the Saudis. One real lazy guy.
