Elliot Anderson

We need something extra in midfield if Rodri is struggling as Nico looks tired & needs a rest, although Nico has been excellent this season
 
If this squad was written on a blank sheet of paper, the 'weakness' would be one of central midfield physicality. An injury to Gonzalez and we are very, very short, and not just because Bernardo is exactly that.

Assuming Bobb, Ake, Stones, and Kovacic all move on over the next twelve months, and we do manage to get Semenyo and Anderson, I would imagine that we will look like this. We also have Mukasa, Mfuni, R.Heskey, and McAidoo to come in, but non occupy that central defensive midfield. Gray does, but he is definitely not a physical presence. J.Heskey does, and is, but he is very untested.

Very tidy squad that. I think we can improve on Marmoush though.
 
Not sure of our ffp p/l, but if we wait until summer, then we run the risk of losing Anderson, before we have even started. If he puts in the kind of performance against us, even 3 in every 5 games, we will be competing with Madrid and every other top table club. If we cannot afford him now, we put down a guaranteed future payment of 120m to come from next years accounts, and he remains at forest then fine. Rice is an exceptional player for Arsenal, but this guy is way ahead. Rodri is 30 next year…we cannot afford to lose this player.

Tough gig. Not many top, top players want to play second fiddle, even if it is to the world's number one.
I put Marmoush there as the Erling back-up, but in reality nearly all of our front men would be able to play across the front-line. It is the only way, IMO, that we draw a top attacker to the team.
 
Having watched him and the Wharton quite a bit lately Anderson is miles ahead imho both very tidy on ball but Anderson also has that burst of speed and power like Kev I hope he’s next through door after Semenyo

Yaya, Lampard, Vieira, Keane all streets ahead of him. I would have Fernandinho aahead of him as well. He has everything bar an ability to hold his position. Very similar player to Pogba.

There was a reason England couldn’t fit Lampard and Gerrard in the same team.

Yaya, Lampard and Viera, maybe. Keane? No!
 
I wouldn't be surprised if we went for both Gibbs white and Anderson if Bernardo and Kovacic leave this summer. Peps clearly a fan of Gibbs white.
 
You'd think he would head back to Newcastle.
Was with them from a youngster, grand dad played with them and he didn't want to leave them.
