Biggest cheat in the Prem,” one fan said, with another adding: “No great loss, we can do better.”Fans on X were even more damning, with most claiming that they were pleased to see Gordon going elsewhere when asked if it is a transfer opportunity which Liverpool will regret not taking.“No, he isn’t good enough for LFC,” one fan responded, with another claiming that they could now ‘breathe a huge sigh of relief.’“There are far better players around than him!” was one more reply, while others pointed at Gordon’s injury history as a potential red flag.
