    Gordon

    Apperently signed/on verge of signing a new 6 year contract.

    He wanted to be best paid player at club but club weren't willing to commit to that according to reports but he has now stepped back from that. He's still moved up massively on pay scale but isn't most well paid.

    Great news if true.

    BBC reporting it as "a blow to Arsenal and Liverpool". . . **** right off.

    Aye, they can fuck off.

    I saw a Telegraph headline from Luke shit-stirring Edwards saying that the negotiations weren't going well but Fabrizio Romano reckons it's done.

    Edwards pretends to like us (he may actually do, tbf) but his main goal is clicks so I know who my money's on.

    They can all stick their money where the monkey sticks his nuts.

    Gone are the days when we were considered to be an easy touch as a feeder clubs for the so called rich kids.

    We can look down our noses at each and every one of them now.

    Does this mean he wasn’t looking for a move to Liverpool nor had his head turned? These journos are a plague.

    I’m a bit surprised he’s committed to 6 yrs, although we know contracts mean nothing really, does this mean we can ask more for him should anybody come in for him, I don’t understand how the length of contract should effect his selling price?

    If he signs his contract,, it'll likely be with a release clause if Liverpool come a knocking, most likely.
    As long as it's over 100 million, then that'll do me for starters because even Liverpool would struggle to justify that buy considering what they have.

    He’s basically just rubbished the talk of him being unsettled or wanting to leave in his post match interview.
    Said it’s lies from journalists but players can’t come out and make statements about these things - they just have to get on with it.

    All we can do is remember which journos were spouting sh*t and bear it in mind for future ‘exclusives’.

    The best way to deal with football journalism is to treat it all as swerving of the truth and wait till the thingy lady sings.

    To put it another way.

    Journalism died 40 yrs ago.

    All media outlets are now PR agencies, for sale to the highest bidder.

    Murdock's tabloid empire destroyed any sense of impartial clear journalism. When the Sun began ransoming people for hush money the press divorced their ethics for money.

    Through the decades the age of PR agencies was born and now have dominion over all public information.

    Spin (translation to English - Lies) is king!

    The growth of 'soft language' has stolen the truth from the people and the vast majority of people have completely tuned out.

    For good reason.

    As an example. This is fact, I know 100%.

    Sky Sports 'News' should be renamed Sky Sports PR.

    When Information is passed to SSN on transfer or stories of 'unrest' inside clubs, SSN reach out to the club's PR team and asked how they want it to be presented.

    The clubs, Man U etc pay SSN cash money to control the narrative.

    So the whole thing is unreliable and essentially a fabrication, not the truth.
