Don’t know about Gordon. Didn’t rate him at Everton, but then did up his game at Newcastle but then form dropped massively (prob not helped by injury). Still dives a lot and his output just isn’t an improvement on gakpo or Diaz and likely cost a lot.

Newcastle fans talking about looking to improve on their wingers so don’t even think they’re sold his the real deal.
 
Deal agreed for Trent - Real to pay "€10m + 1 payment up from the original £850,000" P. Joyce

Not sure what the additional payment is or means. Willing to pay to get him for CWC rather than wait.

Can’t complain about that really. Losing him on a free so getting anything is a bonus and €10m is a lot more than expected.
 
Emerging that following encouragement from the player's side, Real approached Liverpool in January over a transfer for Trent. Liverpool wouldn't engage.

That’s well known - we rejected £20m deal in Jan.

In hindsight, great one. Got £10m back so cost us £10m to keep him for 6 months and win the league.

The point was - what wasn't well known was the "encouragement from the player's side".
We were all sure that that was the case though - although some were probably hoping it wasn't.
I and many others said months ago that we expected Mo and Virgil to sign, but not Trent. His intentions were clear.
It's fairly obvious that "encouragement" amounted to "come and get me".
