Elliot Anderson (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

[54]

I know he doesn't play for us anymore, but fuck it, he gets the "Englands" in the thread title like our other players do, as he's ours in spirit.

[ponsaelius]

Extremely frustrating that we produce a genuine quality local talent for the first time in forever and we've had to sell him.

He took one for the team literally and has made the most out of it. Speaks to his character. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Delighted for him.

Lack of apostrophe is disturbing 

[Guybrush]

Bring him home. Well done lad!

[SAK]

Just checked and he’s got four more years left on his contract which takes him to 26 years old which is peak years. Pick him up on a free then if he wants to come home.

[St1pe]

As pleased as I would have been if he was one of your players 👏

[OverThere]

Free transfer home at 26.

[Magpie]

Madness if we didn’t insert a buy back clause. Unless of course Forest refused to accept one. 

[Menace]

Ffp really made this the worst deal of all time. £15m and a ropey keeper we can't move on for an england international. Bloody Nora 

[Displayname]

Would he count as homegrown if we bring him back?

[AJ9]

Brilliant, pleased for him.

Yes

[Miggys First Goal]

Looking back, was there nobody else we could have sold at the time instead of him?

Gordon

Any sliver of a chance we inserted a buyback clause that the media somehow didn't learn about?

 

Would have to pay silly money for young England international if not

[aussiemag]

Can probably get him in 2 or 3 years. They won’t want to miss out on a big pay day.

We held absolutely no cards going into that deal so almost no chance there is a buyback clause

We could’ve sold pretty much anyone - this was our choice.  

[Cf]

Did we put any sort of buy back clause when we sold him? Assuming not.

 

Not that i'm losing any sleep over this one. He's essentially going through the "send him out on loan" phase - just a shame it had to be via a sale.

Probably on a low salary though.  He’s already due a payrise with this call up. 
 

Type of player Forest would sell for 50-60m in a year or two though. 
 

Vlad has paid for him for 3 years as it is and some.

Lovely lad, delighted for him and excellent work by Billy in sticking the knife in Isak here
