Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

[QUOTE="RayCTID, post
It will get done but the extra money spent on this could be used in tying down our current stars is the point I am trying to make.

We will have saved around £450k per week from Bernardo and Stones going. If we can somehow get shot of Kalvin that gives us another £150k to play with and expect Savinho to go so another £40k.

Assuming we need to drop another £200to £300k on renewals between Gvardiol, Rodri and Doku. Would leave us enough for Anderson and a bit left over. Could really do with Grealish off the books and Marmoush wages are not VFM based on game time.

Decent price for him?

It was all done last summer but the price we didn’t want to pay, so we went for Reijnders He had a house picked and everything. It’s why during the end of the window Marinakis tried to get us back involved during Tottenham trying for him.

We have an excellent relationship with Forest and Marinakis

Anderson was the best midfielder in the Premier League last season when you look at every statistic and compare and contrast.

If the rat faced rag wanker didn’t stat pad his assists by refusing to shoot, Anderson would have been universally considered the leagues best midfielder last season.

I watched him probably 10-15 times and he was head and shoulders above everyone else in midfield, including ours when we played them.

City know what they’re doing and I think this gets done but I’ll be gutted if he rocks up somewhere else.

You watched him at the etihad and thought he was head and shoulders above everyone in our midfield? That cant be true. He spent the whole match chasing shadows, he did get a good goal but aside from that, was absolutely not head and shoulders above Rodri or bernardo that day, he barely got a kick(goal aside and we arent buying him for his goalscoring ability).

I sit front row and watched him very very closely including the warm up. The goal he scored in the game he practiced in the warm up several times and it came off in the game, was really interesting to see. Outside of that, he didnt(and neither did forest) do an awful lot in the game. They had abs no control in the midfield area and the only reason they got a point was us getting complacent(twice).

The rest of your points maybe accurate but that one is not

Thanks for posting, I thought it was just me that thought he was poor in that game.

Interesting that he was practising that type of shot though, like Mitoma home v Brighton and the goal we conceded at Bournemouth (cant think of any others off the top of my head) I wonder if its an area other teams have seen a weakness.

I thought Anderson and MGW had good games that night. This is confirmed by Whoscored.com who gave Anderson mom and by BBC's match day stats
