Luis Díaz

[The_weatherman]

I think Gordon would thrive for us, but I'd prefer to keep Diaz if possible though.

[fidget]

He's been desperate to come back to us. The blue fume level alone would be worth it.

[SB]

Why? I mean, he has stupid hair and a punchable face but think he would be a good addition across our front line (is he homegrown as well?)

Yeah it seems inevitable that Diaz is on his way & id take Gordon for the right price.

[rudedog]

Gordon would be a downgrade on Diaz, there must be much better value out there

Stats wise Gordon had about half the number of PL goals as Diaz and a similar number of assists, and I suspect he would cost more than we would get for Diaz. Not sure it's a great deal from our point of view.

Also I suspect Newcastle don't want to sell us two of their best players, if we want one I would focus on Isak if there is real interest.

He's meh, he's a ****** and he's expensive. Hard pass.

[danperkins]

Effective winger and lightening quick but not sure if he's an upgrade on what we have. Price is ridiculous

Think one of the main differences between Diaz and Gordon might be that Diaz will be seen as having reached his peak in terms of how good he can become whereas Gordon might be looked at as a guy with the potential to go up a level or two upon what he has shown.



What does catch the eye with Grodon is the way he links with playmakers. Might be that with Wirtz onboard that Gordon is seen as a great foil for him.


Not been paying any attention to the sort of money that is being rumoured to be wanted for him though. How much is the rumoured price versus the rumoured 70 to 80m for Diaz?

You never know there might be a release clause in his new deal. He has big ambitions and there could have been a compromise in the negotiations. I’ll sign a new deal but give me a reasonable out. They are becoming more common.

We know the price for Gordon - it would be just cash swap IMO for Diaz -

Some great points alright. Yeah that 4 years age gap is a big plus. It's a hard one to guage imo, prices quotes do seem similar ish but lot of speculation so hard to pin down a real figure.

I do like Diaz but I do find him insanely frustrating on times but also incredible to watch sometimes.

[Cerbie]

I don't like Gordon's diving, but maybe we can get him to focus on scoring more goals or assists rather than trying to get a penalty. Maybe Mo thinks differently tho

He's a red. He's a scouser. He's best mates with Curtis, so he can't be as much of a ****** as we made him out to be when he was at Everton can he?

The Blue Fume will be off the charts too, so that's a big plus.

He might not have to work as hard as Diaz with Kerkez behind him and Wirtz inside.

I do think PSR comes into play here for Newcastle - They bank circa £50m PSR profit at £75m - We gain - £30m on Diaz - If Diaz goes for £70m - Played a blinder TBH.

[frank the tank]

I think Gordon is a bit of a ******. I also think that about Curtis Jones so the fact that they are mates doesn't really matter imo.

One thing about Gordon though is that he seems to work his bollocks off.

I can see a scenario where Kerkez and Frimpong bomb on and overlap the **** out of it. Wouldn't be insurmountable to see Gordon on the left wing and Szoboslai possibly on the right hand side - both who are very hard workers. And with maybe Mo being a box player.

So a 4231 with Mac and Grav in midfield, Gordon, Wirtz and Szoboslai feeding the Egyptian king who will be surely chasing Ian Rushs record.

[fidget]

Gordon will work his arse off and is desperate to join us. We let him go when he was 10
