They are asking a record fee for a midfielder. Tonali money plus some extra cash. Either that or wait til City inevitably want to sell him in two years.

Him not working out there means nothing and just benefits clubs like us who'll get the best out of him. I feel like he's destined to come back at some stage.

Nucasol Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Delusional if you think he’s coming here. He’ll cost more than Tonali to buy at a time we’re likely to have to bring in more in fees than we’re paying out due to the impending settlement with UEFA (precedent being Villa). Forest will gouge clubs for MGW and Elliot and we don’t have the extra CL revenue next season to pay that premium. Meanwhile 115 charges remain unresolved… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Addendum: What frustrates me is the inevitable Pep Pathway for this. He has as much chance of becoming Fabian Delphi, Kalvin Phillips or Grealish than a Stones or Walker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of short term thinking that summer Hardly any fan gave the slightest fuck we were selling Elliot Anderson tbf. Probably more commotion over Minteh, which was still minimal versus the uproar there'd have been about a Gordon sale. In hindsight selling Gordon for big money would have been great but it wasn't that evident at the time and no fans were calling for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think most of us couldn't believe we were getting as much as £35mil for Anderson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Also worth noting that selling Gordon instead of selling Minteh/Anderson was what they attempted to do first, much to everyone's exasperation when it was revealed.

Because we had just given him a bumper new contract after Ashworth left. Ashworth planned to sell Joelinton (and/or Bruno). We never got the Bruno bid and the Joelinton contract stopped any sales. That’s why we were in total panic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
