Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

I have to defend Kova a bit. He's done, more or less, the job he was brought in to do. Nobody could have expected him to do much more, especially without Rodri beside him. And at the stage in his career that he's at, i.e. the evening of it.
The others, however, have been distinctly underwhelming. Nico G has had some good games, to be fair.

Agree with this mate. Didn't help that Kovacic got chucked in to play a more defensive role at times and he's not a Rodri type player. His performances suffered for it and it took me a while to warm to him, but think you've described his time with us well.
 
Utd closing on on Ederson from Atalanta. He is touted as a replacement for Casemiro but Ederson is not in the Brazilian national squad and Casemiro is.

Anyway, this makes it more likely that City can sign Anderson.
Think we were looking at him a couple of years back but pied it.
 
If we are gonna do this, I really hope we get it signed off and completed before the World Cup starts.
We simply have to, otherwise we must move on. We have no midfield, it is the priority this summer, if we wait until after the world cup, we'll have a couple of weeks to buy a key player, all clubs see the desperation and fleece us for even more and we potentially end up rushing and making a poor choice if he ultimately doesn't end up coming and potentially ruin the season.

This has to be 100% done before the world cup. It had to be with Pep in charge, it's even more important with a new manager, Viana will have failed in his biggest task otherwise.
 
This is the first midfield signing that has raised the level. Kovacic;Reijnders;Phillips; Nico G they’re all a level below that our standard should be. This guy is serious
Tbf with Reijnders, he was meant to be a Gundo replacement. He has just underperformed

After all the years of us thinking Ederson could play in midfield they just couldn't help themselves
