In order to achieve this, Eddie Howe said that the club would strive to create a safe and happy environment for the players. He mentioned that this requires finding a balance between maintaining the mental health of the players and adhering to the wage structure and PSR (Professional Player Registration) regulations. The club will have to be prudent and sensible in making any decisions to ensure that it does not act recklessly to the detriment of the team in the long run.
Eddie Howe further emphasized that the best performance of the players will have a profound impact on the team's trend throughout the season. Therefore, he believes that timely communication and effective solutions are especially important once players have problems. By doing so, the team can ensure that every player can contribute to the team in the best condition.
While Eddie Howe did not give a direct and definitive answer on the future of Anthony Gordon, his comments suggest that the club will prioritize the player's focus and overall performance, while also seeking to find a reasonable solution to the contract and transfer issues.
