fair play to the club if that’s true. I like Anderson but £35m for a player whose best football was played in league 2. That’s great business

Honestly chuffed for Anderson mind. Got himself a big boy move and can go carve himself a career.

 

He's a good player, with a thirsty attitude, he will do well at Forest.

 

We've got a good deal and we need to move on to bigger things.

35m is fucking mental actually come to think of it. Thought Forest were on the brink of psr as well. Feel there's a rabbit off here somewhere 😂 wouldn't be surprised if we suddenly bought a forest player (gibbs white?, murilo?) a bit of you scratch my back I'll scratch yours

Doing Chelsea maths I assume £35 for an academy graduation means we can spend approximately £92829299334 over the next few years.

£35m is mental fee for him and hard to argue with. Always sad when an academy prospect goes but he didn't do well enough last season imo especially when there was a huge opportunity for him to step up in Tonali's absence.

I assume people are mis understanding, Forest will only have to account for 6/7m of the Anderson deal, today. Presumably with their sales they've got the wriggle room to do that.

 

It's not like they've now lumbered themselves with a 35m PSR problem... once again that can gets kicked down the road.

Expect this means we give Forest something back in a slightly inflated MGW fee.

Why are people saying this like that’s how football works :lol: we wanted Elanga if there was any hint of mutual back scratching it would have been that deal. I’d very much doubt Forest will be on the fax machine saying here, mind we overpaid for Anderson goin chuck an extra £10m for MGW

£35m is an extraordinary fee for him like.

 

Theres clearly a decent player in there somewhere… good technique… but nothing at all to suggest he’ll ever be any more than a mid table PL player.

 

£68m (if true) for two players who’ve made zero or next to no impact for us is pretty incredible to be honest 😂

35m is an insane amount. Don't want to see him leave but for that price it's a no brainer.

 

Hopefully in a few years, we'll be more established, with more revenue streams and we can bring him home once he's gotten more experience and gets more developed.

Because that is how football has worked the last few weeks?

Straight cash sale 

 

 

PSR really needs sorting - it's just insane clubs are being forced to sell Academy graduates.  I hope he is going to be well compensated ££££ as you would assume he wouldn't want to leave his home town club.  We have managed to keep the core team intact but it's just shone a huge spot light on how broken the system is.  Let's see how the rules change in August.

Feels like Christmas :lol: 

 

 

I just don't want to get too carried away in case some journalist comes back in and tells us it was £10m all along. :lol:

Why would Forest take our 5th choice midfielder and sell us their best player :lol:

We have him as one of our main targets (according to media), so a deal for him was possible regardless. I just think this makes it more likely tbh.
