Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)
- Thread starter celf
- Start date
Just to put things into perspective. Anderson's value is almost double what we had bought Rodri for. He is definetly a good player and is what we do currently need but I don't think he is as good as a prime Rodri. Our priorty still has to be is to keep Rodders for this season, regardless the noise that is coming from Real Madrid
Prime Rodri didn't arrive until 2 years after we bought him, and that was what 7 years ago? In fact, many posters had a personal obsession of how "shite" he was and would never fill fernandinho's boots between 2019-21.Just to put things into perspective.

You pay for the succession plan.
Of course, we need to get Rodri to commit as well but that might come down to the length of contract on offer too

you can't really compare his market value to Rodri
there have been a number of £100m+ players since then and if we were looking to buy Rodri now the price would be astronomical.
you can only really compare his fee with recent top Premier League fees. So Rice, Caicedo, Wirtz, Isak, Enzo
Rice cost 105m THREE years ago.
I'm guessing the fee will end up around 115m, if broken up slightly, or less if in one go.

not sure that he was.
he took a while to adapt and everyone was screaming that he was too slow for the premier league.

Think a lot of blinkered fans have forgotten the 'Plodri' label..not sure that he was.
he took a while to adapt and everyone was screaming that he was too slow for the premier league.
Can you find a single poster who has said hes rubbish?But he's rubbish.
Still nearly double. Not suggesting Anderson might match Rodri's achievements but it still a hell of a steep climb.you can't really compare his market value to Rodri

Rodri's tactically better for starters. Rodri's scored a Champions League winning goal and helped Spain win the last Euro's (before injury robbed him almost two season's)This just simply isn't true.

He didn't do any of that before we signed him though did he?
Finished runners up in his only season at Atletico Madrid. Played regularly for a top six club as well.He didn't do any of that before we signed him though did he?

How much is any player (any thing) worth?
Whatever someone is willing to pay.

You obviously haven't read the Pep book, Pep was getting frustrated with him, was sent aside for special traing with Lilo to get him to understand what was required and understand the positional side. Luck for is he was a good student.He was. Just took him a time to fully adjust to the Premier League.

Eder, Junior, Zico, Socrates, Falcao are all asking the same questionI have often wondered how Forest can have MGW and Anderson and struggle against relegation.

Rodri was the best midfielder in the world. If we're only buying a player based on whether they're as good as prime Rodri then we wont buy anyone.Rodri's tactically better for starters.
