'He's leaving in the right way (unlike some)' - fans on Gordon deal

We asked for your views after Barcelona agreed a deal to sign Anthony Gordon for a fee worth over £69m and whether you believe it is a good deal for Newcastle United.

Here are some of your comments:

Leslie: Good luck to Anthony. He has had a good three years for us. Not done an Isak. Can leave with his head held high. It's a good price and we can bring in a couple of good players for that money. Mixed up with some of the good young lads and only one game a week. The future is bright. It's black and white!

Craig: Selling Anthony Gordon to Barca for a decent profit is a good thing compared with selling to the Premier League big six.

Ben: I'm absolutely delighted Gordon is moving on. Take penalties from his output and he's been bang average for two seasons. He works hard and he's fast, but I can't remember the last time he took on a man and his ball striking is mediocre at best. We need to reinvest wisely in young players who will grow with the club. Gordon thinks he's better than the Toon, but I think he'll find out he's not good enough for Barcelona.

Nat: This is a great deal for so many reasons. It's a good fee, it's early business (learning from the Isak saga) and I'd rather get in a player who really wants to play for us. I'd also say he's only really had one very good season for us. He's had 17 cumulative goals and assists this season, which sounds good on paper until you see how many of them were from penalties or against poor European teams. I like the guy and wish him well. He's leaving in the right way (unlike some). Thanks for everything but I think this is a good deal for all parties.

Gareth: This season Gordon has been dreadful and it's been obvious he wanted away so it's a good deal for Newcastle.

Eric: Because we can't offer European football next season, our better players will want to leave. It's good to get the business done early - hopefully, we've already identified targets to bring in. And at least Gordon can't come back to haunt us in the Premier League next season. If players don't want to play for the club, move them on ASAP.

Owen: Gutted. Thought if he went, he'd go for a higher value. Can't blame him but I do have faith in Eddie Howe and hope he is given the players he asks for. Good luck to Gordon - he's been great for us, but I would've liked to see him stay and improve both himself and our team.

John: Nice to get it done early, but feels like we should have held out for another £10m, given the market and Everton's sell-on-profit clause. Not terribly sad to see him go but the key this summer is using our money wisely rather than wasting and overpaying.
