Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

[blueparrot]

Completing a major transfer without a manager in place is unlikely.

Why? If yhe DOF knows we need him . After 14 years do you not get how the club works

 

[Dax777]

For me Anderson is the key to our season next year. He has everything we are missing in our midfield.

Hope we get it done. And dont sit tight. Go on and get Scott too.

My sense is that Rodri will leave this summer too. So I'd like Nico G, Anderson, Scott, and Kova to form the core of our CM base.

I'd much prefer Wharton to Scott, and I'd prefer we keep Rodri to either honestly. I really hope he's not going.

All the teams changing manager, will be working very hard to get their people in place asap so they can proceed with recruitment.

Agree and don’t think any are Anderson alternatives, We wold only need either of them if Rodri or Gonzalez were leaving. Don’t think either will.

Until we have a manager, transfer speculation seems pointless.

I would also be a little wary of selling/ loaning out any player until they have finished their world cup games.
No point in letting Savinho/Grealish go only for Doku to get injured or Mubama loaned out and then Haaland ends up out for a while.
Rodri, Gvardiol and Dias still not probably back to 100%.
As you said, Maresca needs to meet with the full contingent of players first and assess every one of them.

City's board will be very anxious to resolve Maresca's future asap although I suspect they knew this was all in the pipeline. Maresca is not going to be able to meet the full contingent of players until after the World Cup. Doing transfer business before the WC does carry some risk, e.g., selling Savinho. I agree about that although I would sell Savinho to Spurs if the monies are right. I think he could become a very good player but he might need a move.

I think we'll sort Anderson, but if not I'd be after Mateus Fernandes, although I know there's quite a bit of interest in him too.

He’s going to the rags, rag journalist just said on a podcast that’s the rags next deal.

Keeping Rodri is preferable ofcourse. But my sense from how he is talking is that this is not his preference :(

Scott and Wharton is a toss up for me. I think Scott is much more solid defensively and an overall better player. Bur Wharton's vision and passing is next level and might unlock an "All World Haaland" In the right context.

Either will so for me. As both improve us in different ways next to Anderson

That'll be disappointing. I'd heard PSG linked, and if he went there then fair enough.

Damn they might be a serious issue next season I really wanted to get him

According to Ben Jacob’s they’ve changed strategy. Instead of spending big on one player with high wages. They are spending on multiple to add depth and quality to their squad. Going for Hall after Fernandes as well. Hate it

Yeah they are heavily linked with him and Ederson?

Like it or not, Berrada knows how we worded, structured deals and how we picked the signings we wanted? The rags are going to be more than competitive next season

Why would Newcastle sell?

Ederson's reported as done. Think he's a little limited but a good player still.

 

[Gumzy97]

Why would Newcastle sell?

That’s what I thought , but they are confident they can get both Tonali and Hall from Newcastle absolutely hate it.

Fucking how?!? They still have over £425m of outstanding transfer fees?!

Ederson @ £38m
Tonali say £80m
Hall @ £50-60m
Fernandez @ £50-60m?

 

[supercity88]

City need to dial back the clock. Announce Maresca and 5 other signings at the same time, melt the internet.

McAido already better than Savinho. He will be cover on the flanks next season. Agree with the rest of your post.
