Gordon looking pleased with himself.

Keep up? If you could construct a coherent sentence it might help.

If Gordon was out of contract soon and refusing a new deal it would be wise to sell, yes. That proves my point though, good players are sold all the time so the question "Why don't they want him if he's that good" is bizarre.

I didn’t know he was coming out of contract. It’s therefore not bizarre to ask why he would be sold.

Seemed strange to me that Wolves would sell an appreciating asset to us as we are in direct competition.

Ahhhh he’s nailed it. So there were specific circumstances that led to us selling Digne rather than just “well if he’s good we would’ve kept him rather than selling to a rival”.

Yes I was seeking an answer. In this case it seems to be that he was getting to the end of his contract. Do you not think that it is legitimate to ask why a club would want to sell a player?

Over the last 2 summer transfer windows (before this one) there have only been around 11 transfers between premier league teams where there a reasonable fee has been paid.

They have generally been big money purchases from one of the big six or them selling their unwanted players.

No player have been bought for any significant amount of money between direct rivals except arguably Kurt Zouma although Chelsea probably do not consider West Ham do be in direct competition. I disregard Helder Costa and Will Hughes.

In other words it's quite unusual and therefore it is also legitimate to ask why would Wolves let him go particularly when Moutinho is 36 and there's a lot of noise around Neves moving and they may become light in central midfield.

What I was particularly objecting to was the manner in which my original comment was responded to.

*sigh*

The point I'm making is that this is Everton and he's not exactly going to just drop out of a training session over there to say 'I'm off now see ya' is he? We'll be made to wait until they're all back in England.

Happy to be proven wrong like.

It's only bizarre if you don't know if a player is coming to the end of his contract. Actually he has a further two years on his contract and therefore they are not under immediate pressure.

I have made a point in another post that transfers with significant payments between two direct rivals in the premier league are rare. I appreciate Sterling is a recent example but that is unusual. There have not been similar transfers in the last two summer transfer windows.

So I think it is entire legitimate to ask the question particularly as we have a history of having our pants pulled down - Keane, Ashley Williams, etc.. I have barely seen MGW play and I don't pretend that I would be able to tell if he would be good for us or not.

Wolves will have a pretty clear understanding of his abilities and what he is like in the team environment. They have Moutinho (aging) and Neves (who may be on the move) in their midfield and are potentially weakening themselves further by selling MGW.

So that is why I was asking why they would sell and I took into account their circumstances.

Anthony Gordon has a year longer on his contract. If Gordon didn't sign an extension and we sold him next summer transfer window for the 20 million pounds bandied about for MGW would you be happy? Would you do so if you had a 36 year old midfielder and your other midfielder possibly leaving. Would you expect that a well run club (Wolves appear to be a well run club) would sell even with only two years left on his contract.

Mate I have a very low opinion of Everton but if that was my attitude Jesus Christ I wouldn’t bother.

Do you have any idea what the club could do to rectify their awful position?

Also you seem to be very hostile to fellow blues why is this?

Supporting this club really is detrimental to our mental health isn't it. Not like we can change how we feel. I'm just trying to remain hopeful that all this pain we go through is for the greater good and some psychological test to see how much supporters can take before they finally crash and burn, some sort of human experiment like the Truman show.

There is an awful lot of anger and hatred on this forum especially during a transfer window. Best to develop an extremely thick skin when posting on here. Learning this myself ?
