Fak Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Knocks me sick him going there like. As someone on here posted a while ago, the thought that we had to sell him to avoid 1 charge against us whilst a team with 115 charges goes and bags him doesn't sit right. How much as Pep spent since January 2025? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 At 65 million Anderson would take huge chunk of our budget, and CM is not really a position where we need new faces... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I would 100% sell Tonali to buy Anderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think people will be assuming one or both of tonali and willock go. Still as you say depends how much we sell anyone for and the other areas that need addressing. If we used all the "profit" selling tonali for instance to use to buy Anderson back is that too much of an over pay or not. Personally think we will be priced out if getting him for 80+ especially if he has a good WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 For me it's a really significant problem if Tonali goes. We either need to transition to a style that dominates the ball or we will need someone with his ability to break up attacks. Otherwise we're taking the only real legs out of our midfield. I don't think we realise how much work he gets through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a stamina machine, how many gut busting sprints have we seen him do in the 93rd minute to catch a break away play and stop an attack? That's a tough profile to replace.

I think people would actually be surprised at where Tonali's defensive numbers actually rank when you compare him to the other midfielders being discussed on the market. He's lower than a lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Well not sure how that stacks up with him covering loads of ground and breaking up multiple attacks a game. It's not a duel or interception if you just get to the ball before an opponent or cover the ground they want to run into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If our midfielders are all on form, Anderson doesn’t get a start here. Still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if and when he moves on this summer and is replaced, I'm pretty certain this will be proven to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Bruno and Tonali, (and Miley) we don't need Anderson. City will offer him more money so we are not in the races.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I want a new CM maybe, but I would lean towards a more creative one, possibly left footed. I'd rather not have to replace Tonali as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would allow Bruno to stay more advanced as we know he's not blessed with recovery pace. Or if willock goes a more goal scoring /attacking one. Or if we ever want Bruno to get a rest a creative one. Looking at the links so far it appears we want someone young in but not sure if that's based on willock going only or a tonali replacement.
