We asked for your views on Newcastle's recent transfer activity, including selling Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and offering Anthony Gordon to Liverpool.

Here are some of your answers:

Mark: Anderson leaving for around £35m is good business. It's a shame to see academy prospects leave though. Gordon should not be allowed to leave, with Bruno and Isak they are our future, the team should be built around them.

Tony: I'd rather sell fringe players than suffer a points deduction for breach of FFP. Yes sympathy for Elliot Anderson a Whitley Bay lad, but his new financial package will more than make up for a sense of being surplus to requirements.

Darren: Selling Gordon would’ve been the sort of thing Ashley would’ve done. Us fans were under the impression that our new owners are here to compete, how can we do that if there’s talk of selling one of, if not our most outstanding players we’ve had in a while? The majority of our attacking play goes through Gordon. The club need to hold on to him.

John: Anderson is good business but letting Gordon go is utter madness. If the team doesn't have quality players like him then they will never attract quality players or win anything.

Jonny: The sale of Anderson, while disappointing, is understandable and something we need to just get used to. Nobody wanted to see Andy Carroll leave but when the price is right - it’s right. At least this time we know the money will be used well. As for Gordon, the idea of losing him is absolutely ludicrous. He is going to be a huge, huge star!
