Elliot Anderson

[chiswick blue]

Ir Rodri recovers and regains old form then having Anderson in the midfield with him and Foden would be very strong. If not then we need another midfielder

Last time we tried signing a player from Forest that don’t go to well. Was it incompetence from our end or were they difficult to deal with. MGW was nailed on at one point.

This guy is great, would be a great addition here as looks like we will be replacing Bernie in the summer and question marks around Kov.

Seems like our interest is official now. Forest looking for 80-100m for that lad. Nothing comes cheap anymore!

 

[jaiguruKun]

Neat and tidy but I don't see a £100m player there personally.

"Ready to make" means "I'm making this up"

 

[super_city_si]

I'd go big for this lad. His movement and awareness is excellent as is his technique. Pep would make him a superb player.

We need replacements now as Bernardo is off and likely Kovacic too.

 

[Ric]

He’d certainly provide the energy that our midfield currently lacks. Would be a decent fit I think, and his age/nationality/PL experience work in his favour. Doubt we’d pay anything like the figures quoted though.

Long term Rodri replacement

Promising English DM from a club in the bottom half of the table who’s becoming a valuable player in England NT coming to us. I’ve seen this before.

With Stones, Ake, Trafford all likely to leave by the summer, we are going to need homegrown.

Anderson is looking one of the better options attainable to fill that quota, same goes for Semenyo.

I like Anderson. Looks the perfect midfielder for this current modern game of physicality.

 

[skillman]

Would personally prefer Wharton but Anderson is obviously fantastic. Both great players with bags of potential.

Just a personal preference to Wharton but in reality both are similar profiles right now.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Long term Rodri replacement

There is no such player, unfortunately.

 

[youngbob]

Get him and Wharton in. Semenyo and Livramento too.

We can buy quality homegrown players and improve the whole team.

I wonder what we’d all say if they said we’re going for those 4 and, if we get them, that’ll be 20% on all the match day prices?

 

[bluemc]

Has anyone said "just pay whatever it takes" yet, or can I be the first?

Trafford's already leaving?

Craig Hope is saying £80-100m...I think we're kidding ourselves if we think we can get him for cheaper.

He's the from midfielder in the PL, is going to start for England at the world cup, and he's 23. Everyone knows we will pay £100m for the right player because we've done it before.

Plus United and Liverpool are supposed to be interested, so we don't have a free run at him.

If we could get it at the lower end, it's basically Rodri's price with 6 years of transfer fee inflation, which I think would be pretty good going.

As far as mega transfers go, I think it's relatively safe. He's already played for 2 very big clubs in Newcastle and Forest, he's played CL and will probably go deep in the Europa this season, so he's used to playing a full PL season with European football. His injury record is fine - he had a stress fracture in his back 2 years ago but no sign of it lingering, it's basically the only injury he's ever had.

I'd say the same thing I've said every time there's been a rise in prices since about 2012: it would be fucking ridiculous for City to punish fans' pockets for a measly 1% or 2% boost in revenue.

That maybe true but we’re spectacularly bad at off-loading big wages and, a couple of years out of the CL and we might be under a fair bit of financial pressure.

Of course he is, he didn't come to be number 2, nor was he signed for that purpose.
