TheBrownBottle Posted Wednesday at 23:39 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:39 I do think there’s an irony in both of our current midfielders being linked to Man City for years and it’s one of our discarded midfielders who ends up making the big money move there (though I think Tonali’s ability to play for them exists mostly in his agent’s head) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no haggle room. Forest had us by the balls so much so we had to over pay for their keeper. We paid £20m for him a year after Forest paid £4.5m for him and we’ve no interest in playing him which speaks volumes. What you think we could have done better I’ve no idea. We had 1 day to do that deal or fail PSR. It should never have gotten that desperate but that’s an entirely different argument . This is why we got Wilson he did such a number on us we said you need to be working for us fella Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anderson was at Newcastle performing the way he has been at Forest, and starting for England alongside Rice, people would be demanding at LEAST £150 million from Man City and saying £120 million wasn't enough. What fans would be demanding and what he's actually worth are two different things though, it's crazy that City are bidding that amount. He didn't even have a particularly good season last year, his form in the middle of the season was a contributer to Forest struggling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, he was a really outstanding prospect before he even went there, pretty sure there was talk of him being the next Gazza. It was only when he played a few games for us at premier level that we started to wonder if he could make the step up. As soon as he went to Forest, got played in a different role, he started tearing it up for them. I'm still not sure just how good he is, but I think he couldn't play the role we asked him to with all the high press stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted Thursday at 07:51 Share Posted Thursday at 07:51 Probably mentioned already but mad how Ross Wilson bought Anderson from us for a £20m PSR diddle and sold Elanga to us for £55m! Gives me confidence we're in good hands now atleast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are only saying he's not worth it and isn't that good because he was sold to Forest and is doing so well there. Forest struggled because of the fallout with Nuno right at the start of the season, and the changes they then had to make at the manager position. We're asking £100 million for Tonali, and people on here think that's valid, and he has really been poor, and nowhere near Anderson's level. Now that would be a real robbery if Newcastle manage to get that for him, and I actually hope that one happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone off him personally, but I do think a lot of his struggles are down to how he's been utilised. He's been well off it for a good while now, and the club have still set that £100 million tag on him, and so not sure why £20 million more for Anderson who has been performing much better is deemed to be so outrageous.

I think both figures being talked about there are too high personally, but I hate how transfer fees have become over inflated over the last few years anyway. Chelsea to blame again.

Yeah, the numbers are out of control, but these clubs are constantly being approached for their best players by much richer clubs, even when they aren't looking to sell them, and so they're going to keep pushing them up.

A 26 year old will have less sell on value assuming he stays for at least two years. I guess for a club like Man City that might not matter, but most normal clubs will factor that in.
