Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

[KingGeorge]

Khaldoon is leading and pushing this one

This just feels like one that will get done.

 

[blueparrot]

If he's fit and we can get him on the pitch and let's be honest IF he still wants to play for us.

Don’t think wanting to play is any issue, if he here its because he wants to be.
My guess is his decision is between seeing out his contract or extending , will depend on his options after the world cup.

 

[johnnytapia]

Because they had Serginho up front

Ha ha ha ha ha . Did they ever.

 

[johnnytapia]

Because they had Serginho up front

And Paulo Rossi finishing like a Sicilian hitman

 

[blueparrot]

To him it's a business decision we have to remember that in all probability some fans think that it's still the 70's and kissing the badge and showing huge amounts of loyalty was a thing, commodities move on now the highest bidder in mostly king.

Partly that partly his family. IF it’s only business then the obvious thing to do is see out his contract and get a big contract instead of going now and Madrid or whoever paying us a big fee.

 

[Zenmanc]

Can you find a single poster who has said hes rubbish?

The swathes of folks here saying "he's not worth it" are what I'm referencing.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Hope we see some serious movement on this soon then can take it easy for a bit

Apparently Arsenal and Rags are in a 2-way fight for Mateus Fernandes.

Anderson is going nowhere else.

 

[skillman]

Seems a backward step.

City used to get deals done before anyone knew what was happening, more Virginia Plain, now it is like Nigel Short playing white.

Did they? Not from my memory. We’ve not had an out the blue signing since Akanji IMO and before that it was Bernie.

Media has progressed massively and agents/clubs play into the ‘game’ of it all because the announcement does well and hits harder after weeks of anticipation. That’s my twopence on why it is how it is anyway.

Think he’s chosen us and that’s that. Be amazed if it doesn’t get sorted.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Wouldn't be surprised if Gonzalez and Kovacic also moved on this summer. We could be in for a complete midfield overhaul. One that's probably been needed since the treble season.

I think we’ll see NOR in midfield a lot next season. Despite the quotes floating around I don’t think Rodri leaves this summer, extension or not, Real won’t pay enough and would be happy to wait a year.

It means that Rodri, Anderson and NOR plus any of Reijnders, Nico G or Kovacic that stay. If all three leave then we are very short in midfield.

£115m ????

 

[skillman]

Christ. Couldn’t think of a worse downgrade than this. Tonali is a roadrunner suited to non-possession based football, Anderson is the full package.

 

[bluemc]

You reckon?

Within 24hrs of getting Anderson over the line, the flappers will be recharged and out in full force at City's failure to sign a right back, another midfielder, and winger to replace Savinho.

 

[RayCTID]

No one’s really knows till he puts on a Man City shirt!

Still quite a leap going from Forest to City.

Need both if Rodri goes

 

[RayCTID]

Peak Ballon Dor Rodri. Yes.
Rodri when we first signed him. No.

Still showed signs in his first season what he was capable. Needed a few tweaks. Anderson still is a work in progress

Might need both if Rodri stays and Nico G, Kovacic and Reijnders leave

This is Hugo putting pressure on Forest...
