Sure. Depends on the price being negotiated for.
Newcastle have had a shit transfer window despite Howe being the genius.
They seem to want a second CF to play in a two striker formation. That could see Gordon being not so vital anymore.
I hope it doesn’t happen but using the cash that we get for Diaz for Gordon if we don’t get the likes of Rodrygo , Fofana (as was mentioned by some posters here) isn’t that farfetched.
While there have been links with Gordon, they were at the loudest when Newcastle looked to have some urgent FFP issues and the recruitment team thought a deal could be done on the cheap. I don’t see Newcastle being that willing to sell him at a discount this summer.
It’s interesting though that Newcastle’s two signings so far this window are both wingers…
And they still went in for Ekitike with reasoning by some being that they can go for a two striker system.
Just not sure if they are having a plan on how to approach the coming season. Maybe it depends on the targets that they do get.
Speak for yourself…
I hope we don’t sign Gordon. I could almost see the sense of it last summer after he had a good season and Newcastle were in financial difficulty, so there might have been a good deal to be had.
Since then the price has gone up and up, the player’s level has reverted to the mean, and we have gone from strength to strength, winning the Premier League and now signing loads of quality as Slot refreshes the pack to take on all-comers in the next cycle.
Gordon is a clear no for me.
Only way we should be looking at Gordon is if we’re branching out into other sports and need someone to head up the Liverpool diving team
We’ve wanted him for about 2-3 years I think it’s a lazy link at best.
I think like Mount it’s a ship that has sailed. And thankfully I’ll be glad he’s not good enough and his main asset won’t be a success at Liverpool… diving.
Yeah Guehi would make our summer spending beyond my dreams, also, I wonder if young Rio is doing enough in pre season to be a good squad option on the left if Diaz leaves. He did look raw with his link up play and final ball for the youth teams last year but playing with the 1st teamers his decision making seems to be improving.
Pretty sure we’d give Rio Ngumoha a chance before signing anyone notionally to fill a homegrown spot, least of all Gordon.
Only exception to that would be if Gordon’s first name is Kaide.
I think there were some reports when Van Dijk signed his extension that Liverpool were prepared to spend big this window.
They’ve spent ~240M so far and there’s a real chance they could spend 150M+ more. And that’s without the outgoing that have and will happen over this next month or so.
I can’t say I expected that.
Dallas Cowboys?
Derby County, I’d imagine.
He let it gain interest… remember it had those interest rates under Liz Truss.
A few LFC mentions in today’s BBC gossip page.
Tottenham are considering rivalling Liverpool for the signing of Crystal Palace’s 25-year-old England centre-back Marc Guehi. (Telegraph - subscription required)
Liverpool and England Under-20s midfielder James McConnell, 20, is close to signing a new long-term deal with the club and going out on loan for the season. (Mail)
Napoli, AC Milan, Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan are interested in Liverpool’s 27-year-old Italy winger Federico Chiesa. (Calciomercato - in Italian)
Interested in taking him on loan while only paying part of his salary.
If we sell him we should be insisting on 15m pounds given we’ve revived him and he’s now a PL winner; otherwise we can keep him until new signings have settled and then someone can pay the same in January.
Hilarious can’t stop laughing!

Speaking of unreliable… This summer is the make or break for this guy (Tavolieri, not Chiesa or Fofana).
Actually, tbf Belgian players are about the thing Tavolieri is routinely reliable for.
Everything else he takes a scattergun approach to and hopes it sticks (usually doesn’t, but oddly enough he was the first to report the ekitike fee and payment structure).
Wouldn’t normally pay much heed to anything he says, but there might actually be something in this.
As far as the transfer goes, I like Chiesa but I understand all parties desire for change. Malick Fofana would be a good signing for us.
