Anthony Gordon has reemerged as a transfer target for Liverpool, and Newcastle are looking for a mammoth fee to prise him away from St James’ Park. Two of the greats came up with the heroics against Everton, but nothing lasts forever… ☹️ Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images Ally McCoist says £75 million is far too much for Anthony GordonGordon is a quality attacker and there is no doubt he would add pace, drive and Premier League-proven quality to Liverpool’s frontline, but £75 million feels excessive for a player who has not quite shown the week-to-week consistency to justify that sort of outlay.McCoist certainly thinks so.
