They’ll end up like Ipswich or Sheffield Wednesday if they go down in my opinion

Can get why they feel like they can’t sell Gordon but fuck me, 40m. Chelsea’s owner playing football manager here

They've apparently also bid around £15m for 33-year old Aubameyang but Barca holding out for more money.  Chelsea's transfer dealings are as baffling as Everton's have been during the Moshiri reign.  If Everton can get £40m+ for Gordon it will like they've passed on the jinx to West London.

[JRed]

Selling Gordon could actually keep them up if they buy a decent striker or two with the money.
£40m is crazy money tho and bordering on suspicious.

Che Adams is the one they are after.

I remember Kevin Campbell keeping them up, the only decent spell he had in his whole career.

Another new owner who has no clue how football works, either on the pitch or behind the scenes. Seems that FSG are the only owners who actually bothered to learn anything. Everyone else seems clueless.

So they're definitely going down then.

[Alisson Wonderland]

I’ve said it before but they really are following the Aston Villa relegation path.  There are so many similarities.  Hopefully they spend a few more years away from the Premier League than Villa did though.

Imagine being short of goals and thinking Che Adams was the answer to your problems 

[lobsterboy]

Pickford to United anyone???

Please let this happen. It would be glorious.

I guess the thinking is that he'll give them a focal point and some graft up-front.  Adams and Calvert-Lewin as a strike-force is a bit... Burnley... but it would probably keep them up.

It would be a shame for Adams though as it would mark the end of his meteoric rise from park football to the Premier League and international football.  Once the Ev touches you and all that.

The Ev could go down Sunderland path more than Villa, Sunderland went down, think season after Villa, then got relegated again the following season, & spent 3 season in League 1, with a few new owners added in too, only got promotion to the Championship last season.

That would make Dele Alli their Jack Rodwell.  Yeah, I can see that.

[disgraced cake]

These are absolutely preparing for a few years in the abyss.  Get as much money in now before The Championship and potentially the League One sucks them in.

I think some in the club may have already accepted it. The drain is well and truly being circled at this stage.

Glad to see Forest getting these players in, I think too many personally but if Cooper can get a tune out of some they may survive, home form being critical. If Fulham and Bournemouth can recruit a few before the end of the window I certainly wouldn't write either off, not that I'd currently expect them to survive. I think Leeds/Southampton/Brentford will all survive and those are the three other than Everton who haven't been promoted this summer that I'd expect could be down there.

The longer this Gordon stuff drags on could make a huge difference too. They should sell for big money of course but their record of buying players is so poor that it all might be futile.

some bright spark at OT saw your post and immediately concluded it's a great idea ..."him and Mags both play for England don't they, they will have great chemistry!"

And the Ev could have their own Stadium of Shite, next to the water, like Sunderland

Yeah they are great together against teams of the level of Albania and San Marino, unfortunately most PL teams are way above that level.

[Carras Left Foot]

50 million fucking quid for Anthony Gordon.

Chelsea may end up spending close to 200 million on:

Gordon
Cucurella
Fofana

Jesus Christ. Everton should bite their hands off and get a few Chelsea outcasts thrown in on loan too.

They've already used up their loans on Cod and Vinegar.  I'm sure they could repeat the dubious transfer of Alli for Barkley as part of any deal that sees them sell the family silver.

[plura]

So on the one side you are baffled and a bit annoyed that Everton might get £50m for Gordon, but then you know the shite they will buy for it so any frustration will be short lived.

[Red Beret]

At this point for Everton, it's not so much the family silver as the family pewter.

[Fiasco]

Gordon isn't very good. I mean he's got energy and can carry the ball but has zero end product. That might well come in time but I wouldn't bet on it. I would bite Chelsea's hand off for anything upwards of £40 million.

If they have any sense they'll bargain for some of Chelsea's squad/fringe players who would walk into that Everton side, but whether they'd even want to go is another thing.

I would bite Chelsea's hand off for anything upwards of £4 million.

[Dave McCoy]

They'd be complete morons not to sell. At these prices they'd then have to give Gordon a new contract and possibly make him unmovable in the future.

Drunkski already have a player in Mount that is 10x better than Gordon who is presumably meant to do the same things

[FiSh77]

I'll present them with the transfer window trophy myself if they manage to get £50m for him, absolute madness

He's basically what Ross Barkley was at Everton and he did so well at Chelsea.

[Black Bull Nova]

Onana (despite giving the ball away for their 2nd goal) looked half decent although, at this stage, he remains mostly untouched by Everton. If the crowd turn he will see the other side. He has the potential to keep them up if he proves to be worth the money.


Of course if he is any good, he will be sold when a big club come sniffing.

I know he's their best diver, and his diving technique could even improve further, but they should be snapping ex-Putin FCs hand off at that price.

Of course he will. Once a blue, always a ‘whatever club comes in for you’ and all that.

Their next three fixtures are Notts Forest, Brentford and Leeds - the teams at their level, sort of.

It’ll be interesting to see how they go.

Zero points from them games.

Doesn't even seem that unrealistic. All 3 have looked up for it so far this season and they have more quality than Everton too imo.

The only way this shower are getting points, is playing a back 10 and hoping for a scoreless draw in each game.

Aside from the promoted sides who are an unknown quantity, I don't think there's anything between another 10 or so teams. It comes down to coaching then, or other factors like who is less impacted by the World Cup or who does the best business in January.

That Villa-Everton game was bad. I don't think there's much between them. Ultimately Villa had a decent striker on the pitch (Ings) and Everton never.

[Fromola]

They've been well up for their first home game as you'd expect. Forest were still battered by West Ham yesterday, particularly second half and very lucky to win. Newcastle could have run up a cricket score last week, so they'll need to perform better next week going there.

Fulham look the best equipped at the moment. It'll take Forest time to gel a new team together.
