Jamie Carragher SLAMS Everton over SHOCKING post about £75m Liverpool transfer target

Reds legend Jamie Carragher has criticised Everton for a social media post taking aim at their former star player.

Following yesterday’s tedious 0-0 draw between Everton and Newcastle at Goodison Park on Saturday evening, the Blues’ social media team poured scorn on Anthony Gordon after he saw his penalty saved on the return to his old club.

Taunted throughout the game by supporters and ex-teammates alike for his perceived links to Liverpool, Gordon endured a difficult afternoon both before and after his crucial first half penalty miss.

Why Jamie Carragher slammed Everton about Anthony Gordon post

It was this penalty miss which was the theme of Everton’s social media post on Sunday, and that to which Carragher reacted, as can be seen below:

Local lad who came through your academy, helped keep you up under Lampard, wanted out because the club was a shambles on & off the pitch & who you then sold for 40M.

Carragher makes a few salient points here, specifically the fact that Gordon was a central figure to Everton’s survival in the Premier League prior to his sale to Newcastle, again netting very important profit for the club during a time when the Blues were haemorrhaging money.

However, there is also an argument that this is simply a case of how clubs and supporters feel about supposed ‘betrayal’ by once-beloved players, there will always be a level of needle. Luis Figo once had a pig’s head thrown at him, perhaps a sightly disrespectful social media post is the equivalent in 2024.

In any case, Gordon did little to excite Reds fans watching on, as the England winger and reported summer £75m transfer target for Liverpool failed to hit the target with most of his shots playing in a slightly unfamiliar centre forward position.

Speculation over Gordon’s future was somewhat quelled after he reportedly agreed a new contract last month. Having scored a penalty against Manchester City last week, Gordon might yet have given the club he was close to joining a reason to celebrate come the end of May.

Thomas Clark

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.

Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.

Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
