Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

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.

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
Remember the "plodri" bullshit?
 
Would love to see Anderson here. Yes most things are a risk but forget the optics. For me it’s worth taking. Add in another quality midfielder and I would be very happy.
A more mobile middle could take a bit of workload off Plodri Rodri too every 90 minutes.
 
Anyone thinking we will sell Rodri think again and Madrid are waiting to get him for nought next summer! Also he might sign a new contract with us..
The fact that Rodri is not outright rejecting it is worrying. Either he stays this yr against his wishes or its a ploy to get one big last contract.
 
Hardly the same is it? Its potentially the biggest fee of all time, to think someone with so little experience isnt worth it is hardly the same as saying he is rubbish? I think hes a really good player, with huge potential that id like to sign but i dont think hes worth a record transfer fee given his lack of experience. I dont think im being too harsh? He has two seasons in the prem playing centre midfielder, a handful of england games there against mediocre opponents, no domestic medals, no champions league experience, no title race experience, no experience in playing in the big games where the pressure is relentless. Its not his fault he doesnt have that experience but if it was my money (and it isnt so i mostly dont give a fk) id want more for my money. U are paying end product money for a player who is potential. People compare to Rice when arsenal bought him but in fairness to Rice he had years of prem experience, hed just won the europa league as captain, played in finals and semi finals of major international competitions….and even then at the time most considered it overpriced. Since then hes done well but he just got ran than through by actual world class centre mids in the cl final.
You realize 98.6% posted on this board is wind ups and bollocks- right?
