Elliot Anderson

How did that work out for Gibbs-White?

They also fluked European football in the end

 

[bell_mcfc]

Having a player like Anderson next to Nico G or even Rodri hopefully means Phil gets a solid run in the middle.

We need stability in the middle. Let’s see if Tijjani gets there as well.

Let’s see if Tijjani gets there as well.

First year transfer from a different league bobble. He will make good yet, just a matter of time but hopefully sooner than later.

Some club will be paying a fortune for him, if we have the finance and conditions I hope it is City.

 

[Blue Coop]

I think he’s the right age profile and type of player we need. I’d be more excited about this signing than Semenyo personally.

I think he will.

He’s trying to get used to a team that’s trying to get used to itself.

I think some had higher expectations of him coming in hitting the ground running as more experienced and Serie A player of the year. Maybe some comparing him to Haaland or Mahrez in the way they came in and started as more established and not labelled as project players.

Agreed. I love Semenyo, but he'd be a bit of a luxury now, whereas Anderson (or an equivalent) is essential. I'd prioritize Guehi over Semenyo, also, as Ake will probably leave in January and neither Dias nor Gvardiol have been impressive to me recently.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Rodri 6 Anderson 8 Foden 10 has potential to be the best most balanced midfield trio on the planet. He should 100% be our top priority in summer if not January.

 

[Salford_Blue]

Solidifying the centre of the park is the mainstay of Pep's teams.

Not having Rodri and Gundogan there has made us very vulnerable.

This kid could potentially be the answer.

Dias hasn't been consistently impressive for fucking ages tbf.

Never been good without Stones

 

[bell_mcfc]

Never been good without Stones

Only natural. Stones in his prime injury free for me is the greatest defender this country has ever produced.

Gvardiol is still young and has been moved all around the place. Him and Dias being our CB partnership has completely coincided with our midfield crumbling. They need a chance with a proper midfield and maybe some actual full backs.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Dias hasn't been consistently impressive for fucking ages tbf.

Main issue for me is he's turned into a moaning twat. Constantly in the refs face - hate it when our players do that

This lad should be priority number 1. If we have to use Semenyo money to get him then so be it

Has there been any actual bonafide links or is just speculation and people liking us to sign him ?

Craig Hope from Daily Mail went big with it last week.

Gets good info on Newcastle players, of whom Anderson was an academy player and ex first teamer.

Depends what counts as genuine?

Pretty sure I saw something saying he'd recently started following City and loads of the players on Insta or X or something, and that he doesn't follow any other teams except Forest.

Sounds daft, but pretty sure this kind of thing has been reliable in the past. If true!

 

[mattcity5]

Another day, another impressive stat.

 

[PuncturedBicycle]

Complete must sign - would solve so many of our issues
