And I know this is a bit 'out there'
Maybe, just maybe fans can have different opinions.
Imagine that.

We had to make a sale that day, and everyone knew Richarlison was headed for the exit. It wasn't a great negotiating position, which was reflected in the price.
….I’m not so cynical or knowledgeable about these things, but could Everton be pushing this to get rid of a very sellable asset?
No mate
Either people agree with his opinion or they are being paid by the club.
Or so I have been accused this morning lol
That's a very fair point in this, and a big counter to people who say best of a bad bunch. People probably look at that, as a positive not negative. They will look at a lad who came into a team that got less than a point a game (so showed relegation form) and got 4 goals and 2 assists in the league, and as you say 37 goals (as a proportion it would have been lower post him getting in the team as we fell away through no fault of his). Chelsea could cautiously say they get double the goals, so probably double the chances etc. So for Gordon that is already 8 goals and 4 assists. That is already what Havertz got last season.
Gordon is also 2 years younger. He also contributes a lot defensively and can clearly play a pressing game. Hes also on a huge upward trajectory. His goals really came in the 2nd half of last season. So again, extrapolate out, if he gets 4 and 2 over half a season, over a full season it's 8 and 4, and in a side that (cautiously) gets double the goals thats 16 goals and 8 assists. That's without factoring in any further improvement.
I'm going downa bit of a rabbit hole, and on those numbers, he may only play 80% of the games, but they also have European games as well. I can completely see why Chelsea and others would go big on it. Imagine having a 22 year old who was getting 12-15 goals 6-8 assist in a season in the PL. That's a very expensive player.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Gordon, he has great pace and errrr, well not much else I’m afraid atm. He’s played a lot of games now and although it’s early days this season, I just don’t see any improvement in his finishing or decision making. Add in the reputation he’s getting for throwing himself to the ground. If he stays, he has to sort this out immediately.
If Chelsea really are willing to pay anything around £40m, surely there is scope here to get Broja or Gallagher in as part of the deal?

Would be like Everton to sell our best winger for £50m and then spend the doh on utter tosh

Onana's a player and Tarkowski looks to be our best Bosman in ages, so that seems less of a problem than it has in some time. Loan business has been solid, too. Only question mark so far is McNeil.
….fascinating. I wondered if Gordon might be too much of a hometown boy to push for this at this stage of his career, be interesting how it develops.
Doesn't say much to be fair when you look at the competition.
Supporters are to blame for supporting. Valuable observation.

I don't watch and follow the kids sides for the love of the game or because I have any interest in the games or players beyond if anyone is going to play for Everton's first team.
From a financial point of view he's done his job if he is sold but from an emotional investment point of view there's literally no point.
Each to their own and fair play to those who religiously follow the kids sides but there's no reason I can see to get excited about youth players anymore unless you get excited about money.
