Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

After getting duped for a 100 million for Jack Grealish (imho), I would be very careful at spending 100 million at another player. As much I hate them the only 100 million player worth the money was Declan Rice. And a good couple of matches at the world cup best believe Forest owner will start asking 100 for Anderson as well.

If we have 100 million lying around I would expect scouts to find a generational midfielder someplace else. What about Neves at PSG, I mean if we gonna spend 100 let it be for him or some generation La Masia graduate for Barcelona. Anderson should be the Semeneyo price. 65-70 take it or leave it!

Rice is nowhere near worth £100m!! He has two good games a season and arsenal fans scream "BALON D'OR!!!!!!"

Rice is nowhere near worth £100m!! He passes forward twice a season and arsenal fans scream "BALON D'OR!!!!!!"

So, how much do you reckon?

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Unfortunately all action midfielders tend to be quite pricey, because of what they do in each third.

 

[BlueMerlin]

I don’t think any player is worth £100m, and Andersen definitely isn’t. Maybe £60m…

 

[Blue Bogey]

I think another attraction for Anderson is he seems to be a player with a good character, a likeable person. Unlike the unsavoury Fernandes who as my mrs would say ‘has a face you want to punch’. But then she wants to punch a lot of the faces at the rags, including ex rags…lol.

 

[waspish]

If they do want Bob maybe give them a favourable deal so they don’t drag out the Anderson deal to long!

Sent off in his last match for calling the ref a c...

Why does it matter he’s either a player we want and think is good enough or we don’t, cost is irrelevant.

Well, of course cost is relevant. There’s a billion rules on finances nowadays. City have signed Semenyo and Guehi for less than £100m. That’s got to be relevant.

More to the point, if the management believe that Anderson will substantially improve our midfield, then they will see the cost as vindicated.

Fans views of value, even on a forum, is irrelevent.

So the opinion of fans is irrelevant? That, I absolutely disagree with.

Irrespective of what you think, I will go with the "money men" within our club.
A player is worth what the Buyer wants to pay and we were very fortunate to get both the players you mention, for that amount.
Whether we like it or not any club will always pay top notch for any English Player.

Why ??!! Do you honestly think that Pep comes on this Forum prior to naming his team and will pick what the fans think is best for the club. Fuck me .

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

As far as the club are concerned - yes 100%

Sorry to burst your bubble .

Did you read the first reply to your post btw ?

Not to you or me. The club will decide what is affordable,they aren’t reckless, they can be trusted. If they think he's the right player then they will decide what they will pay,and what is affordable or not. So to you or me it is totally irrelevant.Either want the player for what he brings or don’t.

I’m pretty much every aspect, yes.

Rice is currently the best midfielder in the PL.

Totally agree. Top player and would walk in every team in the league.

Which is a shame really. His best assets are set pieces and athleticism, a roadrunner basically. When are the David Silva type midfielders coming back?
