Anderson doubts a £100m fee for the winger
Former Newcastle defender John Anderson has questioned the idea that Anthony Gordon should carry a £100m valuation, even as speculation over the winger’s future continues to grow. In his view, Gordon’s price should sit above the £50m to £55m range, but not as high as the figure being discussed.
Anderson also expressed doubt that Bayern Munich would be able to finance a move at that level. While he accepts that transfer values can rise depending on demand, he does not see Gordon as a player who naturally fits into the £100m bracket.
Newcastle urged to avoid another drawn out transfer story
A major concern for Anderson is the possibility of a long running saga if Gordon were to push for a move. He believes that kind of uncertainty can create problems for a club, especially when it affects planning deep into the transfer window.
From his point of view, Newcastle should avoid a repeat of a situation where too much time is lost and the club is then forced to act late in the market. That kind of pressure can leave recruitment unsettled and make it harder to build with a clear strategy.
The final number may depend on the market
Anderson made clear that the issue is not only about personal opinion on Gordon’s value. It is also about how much another club may be willing to offer if serious interest develops. That can quickly change the conversation around any transfer.
For Newcastle, the challenge is to protect the club’s position while staying realistic about the market. If interest in Gordon becomes stronger, they may have to weigh their asking price against the need to avoid a lengthy situation that disrupts preparations.
