He’s overrated on here now because he doesn’t play for us anymore. He’s a very talented footballer but what was his major impact on the game yesterday other than fouling Bruno for a penalty? He might be superb one day but he’ll need to impact games a lot more than that. Edited October 6, 2025 by Dr Venkman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted October 8, 2025 Share Posted October 8, 2025 Forest run so much through him that it inflates some stats, but we really gave up some player. Touches, progressive passes, and passes into final third are all first in the PL. Shot creating actions and carrying distance are 2nd. Tackles won, shot creating actions/90, and goal creating actions are top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted October 8, 2025 Share Posted October 8, 2025 Tonali is a bit of an unfair comparison because the load of pro-active passing and chance creation is shared between Bruno, Tonali and Trippier as well as our centre backs, the load is more spread. Who at Forrest is going to do it other than Anderson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was starting a fair bit before the back injury. After aswell, but that was due to all the other injuries. Might be overrated by some, but I also think he is underrated by others. Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a regular starter for England. Edited October 8, 2025 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Cardigan Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 Him playing for Forest is constantly low level irritating, Man U links are very irritating, we have to try and bring him home in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 As much as Howe has heaped praise, I don’t think we’d be in for him even if the fee was reasonable. Maybe if they got relegated he might have some clause.. he’s to sort the Joelinton problem first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who at Forrest is going to do it other than Anderson? Limited sample size as far as what I've seen but aye it's not Tonali's role at all. I'm sure he could do it if we asked him to though, he seems to be able to do pretty much every fucking thing else. I've only seen Anderson once, which was our game against Forest recently where Tonali and Bruno bossed it. So I won't judge him on that and just say everyone else seems to think really highly of him so he's very likely class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 We messed up horribly. Move on though. Don’t add more pain by overpaying to bring him back. If there’s ever an opportunity to get him at a reasonable price, sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great finisher but on most things he’s very solid. His close control is excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minteh? You ever seen a young player and buy stocks in them? They don't even need to play for my club. Signing for us obviously helps. I also think he's perfect for Howe. Pressing monster, direct, quick, great final ball/shot. Biggest weakness is limited build-up, Howe doesn't believe in that anyway. It's a match made in heaven. I don't like Brighton for him. They price their players out of good moves so often. Palace will give a lad a decent release clause - Olise and Eze could've gone to a dozen clubs. Unlikely Minteh has a release clause, the distressed nature of the sale, he didn't like the alternatives etc. He's got to stop scoring against us mind.

The College Dropout Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 Anderson again is another one that is particularly perfect for Howe. Howe is part of the reason for the player he's become - that urgency and snap Howe demands of all his midfielders. In a slower more possession based game, Wharton might be better. But Howe-ball? Bring me Anderson back pronto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 He’s made 508 passes this season in the league. Tonali has 311, Bruno has 212 and Joelinton has 107. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at the difference between Tonali and Anderson. Not so much at the other two. What’s their pass completion percentages? Surely Joelinton’s the worst?

Kanj Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 Anderson in Joelinton's role would be perfect, you'd have basically a Bruno jr on the other side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 15, 2025 Share Posted October 15, 2025 (edited) Think he'd be good for us, Villa, Spurs or Man Utd. Dangerously close to Rodwell, Barkley, Phillips territory if he went to one of Liverpool, City, Chelsea or Arsenal. International football should be a doddle for most PL players against 90% of the sides we face. Edited October 15, 2025 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
