Have Newcastle Let A Gordon Shaped Genie Out The Bottle? | Redmen Originals Liverpool Podcast 

I honestly think that the constant changes in the midfield didn’t help Nunez - Nunez makes them runs all the time, the midfield looked up seen the run passed it sideways and by then he is already on the last defenders shoulder - if we have a constant starting midfield, they will learn his movement, like at when Gerrard played with Torres, I think Nunez has the ability to absolutely fly!!

If you're spending close to 100m for Gordon, you might as well bid for Musiala.

I completely agree with Ste, Salah owes us nothing! Whilst it would be right for the club to look for a fee if he didn't want to stay beyond next season, he's done everything for the club to help us win trophies. He's been out top scorer every season for us, he helped us win the 2 big 1's in the League & CL. He's been an incredible professional & has never been a disruptive influence on the squad! For me when he returns to pre season both Edwards & Hughes will have a conversation with him about extending his contract. For me interms of squad strengthing we need a versatile defender who's comfortable at both LB & CB (Hincapie, Calafiori, Hancko?) a DM who's solid at protecting the defence but also progressive when starting attacks (Wieffer or Varela) allow Bajcetic to gradually come back into the side & be Endo's eventual replacement. A RW also who learn from King Mo, be able to roate with him when needed & eventually in time become his longterm replacement in the side. If Diaz were to leave then I'd be all over Gordon being signed, him or Williams would be spot on! I'd also like to see Beck & Morton given a fair crack of the whip in pre season to impress Slot.

Ste is 100% right about Salah. He's dealing with the reality of the situation. The rest of you have missed the point & are stuck on an idealistic view of what you think should happen & don't want to accept Salah may leave on a free, which is a very real possibility. If you want to go down the "should" route, they should have bought Haaland, Mbappe & Bellingham too etc etc etc. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, It's irrelevant. Salah is in control & this is a problem of Liverpool's own making so what Liverpool should've done is long gone & they can't force him out so risk losing him on a free. Mbappe is Indeed the blueprint. The difference is Mbappe wanted out whereas I don't think Salah does. Yet.

It would hurt my soul if Liverpool sell Diaz

Apparently, Newcastle wanted 85Mil + Quansa. Next year 50 mil or on a free the year after :)

Gordon would be great but if it were up to me £60m would be my max. Price tag pressure is a real thing and could affect him if he cost stupid money saw it with Darwin. Also another opportunity might present itself for another player like a dm so don’t want to blow alll the budget on a player we already have in Diaz

ps. I would however put in a cheeky bid for £40m for Gordon, knowing full well that it would be rejected.... just to fook with their preseason and morale a bit

We had a Gordon as a Child, we have always been monitoring him, But he is not coming and we will not pay near 100million

Kvracskelia or however u spell his name is better than Gordon

If there’s anything this pod did, was reenforce how exciting this season is going to be - and I’m truly thrilled with the new energy, excitement and even unknowns we have in front of us with Arne Slot taking over the helm.

I agree with Ste on Salah that he holds all the cards but I would not say that him leaving this summer is out of the question. He may be convinced into leaving by a much bigger salary.

I think Chris is right. Especially when Slot's known for wanting more technical ball playing CB and SB. I think Gomez has a big chance of getting in the team, at least more than Konate.

Absolutely agree with Ste on Mo. Mo will either leave on a free or he will sign a new contract on his terms. Liverpool cannot sell him against his wishes. Should have sold Mo 2-3 years ago.

Chris love the socks 🧦, nice to see some individuality. Made me smile. I think if we had kept the young team we had last season l, we would have won it. I know lots of people wouldn't agree but I genuinely think that the young team had the energy and passion to do it. It all went wrong when people started to come back from injury and weren't fit enough and it ruined the continuity.

Not sure why we are not looking at Nico Williams sure his wages are high but we can structure his contract to be be more performance based salah get paid over half his basic rate through bonuses alone so it shouldn’t be a problem

With the extended cl Bradley should get quite a few games , Trent should be rested occasionally to avoid injury

The lad dives like his ex teammate Richarlison, the officials hate us as it is, we don't need him. Plus his life will be made hell by the blues who were trying to run him over during his final days there!

Ste is bang on about Mo, all the cards are with Mo. I see him leaving on a free next summer

Diaz only wants to go to Barca and as you guys said we would need to sell Diaz to sign Gordon, since Barcas interest in Diaz has cooled off so has our need for Gordon. What I am trying to say is that there is a shitloads of things that has to line up for this to become reality.

Where's Paul? Hope he's alright. Good job guys ❤

Ste looked very angry today, cheer up Ste liverpool will be back on tv soon

It might not be Diaz who goes tbh, I could see jota or gakpo going

Dont see why everyone is getting all excited about him. Dont want him at LFC. Just because he is a boyhood lfc fan, dont mean he is world class. Plenty of wingers out there just not Gordon.

I think you'd get more end product from Diaz playing on the right

If Newcastle need a CB, give them Sepp Van Den Berg + £60M

He's not comin to Liverpool,turn it yous know Haswell he's not comin so stop man

This pining over other teams players while downplaying our own lads needs to stop, Gordon has had 1 good season in his entire career and he still managed 0 G/A in 6 CL Apperances...

Ste’s best performance

Gakpo and Diaz are both better than Gordon. Don't know why we would buy him when we have other areas that needs to be strengthened

Clear logic from Ste on Salah, amazed the other three are kidding themselves to say any different

On Bradley, I think he could be real option for us on the right wing if Trent stays as a right-back and Salah moves to a more central role.

They have nothing else to talk about, Not a big fan of Gordon anyway. If Diaz stays, put him on the Right, get to the byline and cross with his R foot.

Not good enough

our fanbase is becoming insufferable. In no world is Gordon better than Diaz.

1:19:25 😂

Ste is being extremely obtuse about the Salah situation. He is totally dismissing any world where Salah is sold, when this will be exactly what Liverpool try and do if he isn't going to sign a new deal. The other's weren't saying it was definitely going to happen, they were simply saying Liverpool HAVE to try. It isn't a pointless discussion because it is the right thing for Liverpool to do.

How have yous managed to stretch out 2 hours talking about 1 transfer? Watched the first half hour and there's claims we should break our transfer record for a lad, albeit a Red, who's good but not elite to replace Diaz who is an elite dribbler but lacks end product. I can't see a tangible improvement from Gordon to our squad in a way that takes us from title challenge to title winners, other than allowing us to sign a foreign player in another role.

Ste, I love you man, but for god sake please let other people talk. I swear, the amount of times someone would start a conversation and within seconds you are butting in and giving your own opinion on the subject. Like, relax, wait until they are finished.

Only position we need is a top 6 DM We have project player all over the park time to buy quality if we hit the market
