Elliot Anderson: joins Nottingham Forest on a permanent deal with 5 year contract (Official)

[dcmk]

Club has done pretty well to get the sales done in time tbf.  Wonder whether there are any buy back clauses in either.

No fee mentioned by Ornstein. Anything around £12-15m would be fair. 

 

Clubs are paying more than that for guys who have never kicked a ball in the PL. Yeah he’s had some injuries but you’d hope for a bit more.

[manorpark]

I understand we had to do it.

 

Two of our good young-uns gone.

 

Sad.

[bigfella]

I've never seen anything in Anderson that convinces me he can go on to be a really top class player, so in the present climate I'm not too fussed to see him go. 

[Dr Jinx]

Hopefully that ends the PSR conversation and if it doesn’t, there’s something very wrong happening in how the finances have been managed.

[Ikon]

Not too bothered about this as I don’t rate him much. Hopefully this means we will sign another quality midfielder.

Feeding talents to Brighton & Nottingham Forest  Small time as fuck.

How is it small time? 

[McDog]

Interesting. Fee makes the call as to this is shite or a good move.

[Menace]

Because we're not supposed to sell players - ever.

 

Don't really see anything in Anderson to make me upset about him leaving - him and Gordon are best mates so that's interesting. Anyway best of luck Elliot.

[dcmk]

I think the club was maybe expecting Bruno to go.

 

They had been preparing all season about a big name leaving.

[NWMag]

We shouldn’t have to do this, the rules are shit. Hope City win their arbitration

Christ man, give it a rest. 

 

I'm actually less disappointed about this one than I am about Minteh. With Minteh or was the unknown potential for greatness. Love that Anderson is a local lad, but Miley has already shown more in a few games than Anderson ever did. He was (sadly) never going to get to the level we needed.

[KaKa]

I like Anderson. Hope he gets a chance to play more there and develop. 

 

Had to be a tough calls for the club. Really wish it would have been Longstaff instead.

[gjohnson]

No big loss. Never seen anything special from Anderson to suggest he's anything more than a 6/7 out of 10 player. If anything he's like a less effective Longstaff.

[buzz]

Don't particularly rate him tbh but bit of a sad way to go.

[Superior Acuña]

Real shame for him he never got a goal - as a geordie lad who got a lot of pitch time, that must hurt - especially as he had one ruled out by VAR (at Forest!).

[Miercoles]

I like Anderson, and think he could be good, but we're not going to miss him. 

 

Very curious about the fee though.

I've genuinely no idea.  We're selling a fringe player to Forest, since when is that a big deal? 

 

I like Anderson but the jury is very much still out on his talent. 

 

That's before we even get to the bullshit reason we're having to sell at all, which has fuck all to do with whether the club is small time or big time.

[The Butcher]

Fuck 

[LiquidAK]

Sad about this one, always felt like it didn't quite click for him but there was potential there.

 

Necessary due to the shit rules, but sad. Especially because he never scored for us - deserved it after the goal against Forest was disallowed a couple seasons back.

[Willow]

I'm fine with this tbh, no issue at all

[HaydnNUFC]

Sad to lose an academy lad but only ever been impressed with Anderson twice; Forest away (Isak brace game) when he came on at half time and Spurs at home this season. 

 

Regardless, fuck PSR.

I'm less dissapointed about this one than Minteh too, but Anderson, to me at least, is still our 3rd highest rated talent behind Minteh and Miley and we are now selling two of them.
