Knew he never would get a proper chance here after starting the first league game on the bench after being our best player in pre-season.

 

It's a shame he left, but trophy.

Anderson has needed first team football to develop into the player he's now looking. A few sub appearances for us doesn't see him improve.

Agreed. It’s been an excellent move for him. Happy for him.  
 

We got the worst deal of all the FFP shenanigans by far.  Sold our 2 brightest youngsters for decent to bad fees. Poor prep but we also don’t have a saleable squad.  
 

Miley needs first team football too. I would send him out on loan and get in a cheap cover player like Villa did with Barkley + a first teamer like they did with Onana.  Gives us 5 good options for 3 positions and allows Miley to get regular playing time. Include a recall in January.

Deffo agree on the loan

 

Would you sell 1 or both of Longstaff and Willock in this instance? As we'd have too many CM's doing this

Anderson's's sale and subsequent success at Forest, rather than sitting on the bench with us, is arguably a demonstration of FFP working successfully.

I'm sure the so called Big 6 have better players sitting on the bench so that's not much of an argument for FFP

Probably sell for both of their careers. Willock has positional flexibility but he's a bit too young to be a Ross Barkley type.

There's absolutely zero chance he would've made CM his own. Zero. 

Ahead of Bruno or Tonali? Maybees the odd game on the left but he doesn't want to play LM. 

Forest play an entirely different style of football and it suits him to a tee. 

 

Tonali was banned all last season and Joelinton missed chunks. It’s easy to forget how many games he was starting LCM before he got injured early in season, and was probably part of Ashworth thinking at the time of not being sold on giving Joelinton a new deal.
