Speaking after a four-goal haul against Qarabag, Gordon told the media, "It’s the same old, same old. I think they just pick names out of a hat... I have gone through enough transfer stuff now to know that it is all a load of rubbish."
Despite the dismissal, Gordon remains a target for the Reds. His recent Champions League form and homegrown status make him an attractive option, though he is currently focused on winning trophies with Newcastle.
