Ian Doyle reporting that a deal had been agreed in principle for Gordon and Gomez, with LFC paying 75mn for gordon, and Newcastle paying 45mn for Gomez. I think it would have been a pretty good deal, in fairness with the valuations being suitable for both clubs. Also, if Sepp VdB indeed establishes himself, then it is hard to see how Gomez will get to play, unless Robertson has another injury-plagued season. While I like Joe a lot, it owuld have made a lot fo sense for him. Gordon also seems to be a more clinical and direct forward than our current left wingers, but I do feel that if he came we would definitely have to sell Diaz.

It's a recycled story from pre 30 June according to many other sources.
Newcastle satisfied PSR with the Minteh sale so no longer need to take that deal.
Not sure why it's surfacing now, maybe the facts weren't know at the time.
I'd still take it, but not sure it's on the table any more.

I don’t think it will be the last of it Gordon has definitely had his head turned.

If Joe Gomez goes Newcastle and scores on his Debut I’m done with football ?.
{Ed025's Note - strange things can happen when a player moves to a new club LFC8, ....but not miracles, joe will never score mate because he has got feet like otters tails..

Only two years left on his contract and his club know he's probably going to turn down any new deal offered and he wants to play for his boyhood club.

I honestly think it's a mistake selling gomez. His versatility is so rare in football and while he's not world class in any position he is an able back up in all of them.
Does SVDB qualify as homegrown ed002?
{Ed002's Note - No.}

LiverpoolFC8 - I’ll take it if his debut is against Man Utd.

I thought VDB would be HG as he was registered when he was 17 with us so has had 3 years pre 21st bday?

Sorry Ed002; I asked the same question in SVDB being homegrown a few weeks ago and I’m sure you said he would be?
He had a season with us and then 2 seasons with Preston by the time he was 21 so I thought he might just qualify?
{Ed002's Note - He is HG but diod not join at 17 - he left in 2022. The no was to the "bad idea to sell Gomez". He wants to be playing regularly.}

Ah OK, thanks for clarifying Ed002.
