Because they're both far better players.
But it's absolutely fine for Everton to demand what they want for him too.

True but that should not lead our valuation.
I'd rather they stopped preparing the bid and made the bid though. It's the 23rd of August and we need to reinvest.
We need to be very strong and stop letting them dictate the negotiations.

spending massive money is only way to keep conte happy and even then he'll still be away in a year or so

At some point we have to quit playing the suitors off one another and get our own business done. There's also the potential problem of the player having a preference over destinations.

You realise those two - sancho in particular - put in a couple of seasons of top performances (and outcomes of goals/assists) before their big moves?
We currently need a striker and a forward who can play right across the front 3.
So we need 2 for sure in the next week. If Gordon goes we need 3 in. 3 forward thinking players in a week.
We can't just be pinning our hopes on, let's say a Broja, DCLs fitness issues have been for over a year now. What happens if Broja got injured? We literally have no depth as it is, so if Gordon goes we need another.
I'm not talking about about the likes of a 1 goal a season, 1 assist Mcneil type either. We need 3 forwards capable of adding 8-10 each a season and +5 assists.

Spurs would be a pretty terrible move for the lad. He'd be even further down the options than at Chelsea.

If you’re a team with money then £60m is not that much. If you’re a team with no money then it’s a lot and you might be forced to take it
I thought we were supposed to have become a team with money, not one doing fire sales. It separates us from the top sides who are hoovering up the young talent

I don't think we really do need another one if Gordon goes mate, or at least not one of the exact same types.
We need, as you say, a striker and a quality, versatile attacker/wide forward.
Then I'd say the priority is also defensive mid (Gueye, but we should be able to do that regardless of Gordon) and a creative player. Maybe that player does play wide but I'm thinking more from midfield. I don't know much about Kudus but given we are/were in for him it suggests they want someone who can help progress the ball centrally and has quality to deliver the final pass too.
Four players in. IMO that's fine, as long as that balance is covered: defensive mid, creative player, versatile attacker (this should be where a decent chunk of the money goes IMO) and a striker (I think it'll be Broja).
Mate we had to sell our best player to avoid a possible points deduction
It's crap, but we are where we are.
I will however say that I don't care if you're this financially ruined Everton or Man City, if you got an offer worth up to £60m for a lad of Gordon's current quality, you sell.
60m makes him the fourth most expensive British player of all time
Yeah, we’ll sell
Yeah, we’ll sell
