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. 

[sushimonster85]

I'm guessing the fee is somewhere in/around 15m. Not ITK, just feels about right. Certainly enough (combined with Minteh) to get us over the PSR hump.

[KaKa]

The midfield depth is starting to look a bit ropey.

 

Don't trust Willock to stay fit. Longstaff really put me off him last season a lot, and Miley is still so young.

 

Be interesting to see what we do there.

Maybe cos we're finally realising some of the 'talent'we bring through really isn't going to the best thing since Messi?

Wonder if Man Utd fans said the same when we bought Obertan, for example.

 

One of them has only wore our shirt for a photo shoot and the other one (imo) is not good enough, so hardly like we are selling our star talent 

[Miercoles]

If he hadn't gotten injured last season it could be a different story, that was his big chance to step to the next level and unfortunately he missed it. 

 

As it stands, he doesn't have any qualities that we are going to think about next season and say "fuck I wish we had a player who could [whatever] like Elliot Anderson"

By all means sell youth players. I'd just like to keep the few ones that have proven to be good enough to play for us.

Aye, but if he isn't going to be able to contribute to the squad in the long term, and as much as I like that he's one of our own he really isn't, then it makes no sense to hold onto him. Especially when he can help alleviate this PSR issue right now.
