Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

Legs gone mate , fresh start with younger players imo

Hmm, maybe. But the legs we saw from him last season are the legs we saw from Rodri too IMO anyway, both in similar shape. Rodri obviously better all round.

However, the addition of Anderson - who seems to have a ridiculous ability to cover ground - would benefit both players.
 
Don't shoot the messenger but I've been told by a guy I trust, Tolmie backed his info up so I trust him, he told me that we've discussed Gibbs White during negotiations for Anderson. Gibbs White was disappointed the move didn't happen last summer had house picked out and everything.
Well that explains the delay a bit more. Definitely something I could see us interested in.

My opinion is Anderson gets sorted on Monday or Tuesday. He plays for England tomorrow, they have another friendly on weds next week and it's tied up before the WC starts

Would snap your hand off for MGW. But I can't see Forest and that owner allowing both to go in the same Summer, never mind in the same deal.
 
Do you think Wharton is strong enough defensively. Great range of passing but a bit lightweight in the tackle maybe?

Not yet, no, but he has years ahead of him. His ability on the ball is outrageous and being a left footer would give us a perfect balance in midfield too.

I do see the defensive concern, though.

It's bonuses with Anderson thats what I've been told by the same person. City willing to pay 100 million flat it's just the bonuses. Marinakas wants more concrete bonus clauses, to take the deal to 120 million. He wants the record fee for a England player.
 
often wondered when a bid is rejected why it takes ages to hear about a next one!? Obviously conversations happening and it’s probably optics for the selling club but say we didn’t hear anything else for 3 weeks that would be strange?
Was it not only like a day ago it was reported our first bid had been rejected?
 
I actually think this Tonali instead of Anderson news is BS. It will be Tonali in if Rodri goes, so it’s completely unrelated

Anderson gets done, just drags a little like big deals do plus there’s a World Cup
 
But not the 2 we need,if one is Anderson the other needs to be somebody to replace Rodri either this season or next. Ideally for me Rodri stays this season , quite likely and Alex Scott , is his replacement.
Alex Scott is not a DM, and we already have a backup DM to Rodri on Nico G. Or unless Anderson is converted to DM ?
