I also wonder whether the Minteh deal includes us going back to Brighton with a mega offer for Joao Pedro 

I fucking hope not, we don’t need a penalty merchant. We have Isak. It’s Evan Ferguson or they can fuck off.

Getting around 70mill for our sixth or seventh choice midfielder and a kid who has never played a game for us seems like pretty good business given our weak negotiating position.

 

It's a shit situation but you'd have to admit that the club has made the most of it, particularly with the Anderson fee. I would've thought that somewhere in the region of 12-15mill for him would've been good money.

 

He's an attack minded midfielder without a PL goal to his name and has gone for close to the fee we paid for Bruno (from memory). Good business, I reckon.

20 goals in 38 games last season. 22 years old and a Brazilian international. Behave man :lol:

Looks like we're going to put that market value test to the test with getting 35m for Anderson. Good news for mine. Shows we're finished playing nice.

Depends how you frame this. Weren’t 13 of them penalties? So 7 from open play. 

 

Longstaff scored 9.

 

Plus Andreas Perraira plays for Brazil.

Sounds like it’s inflated then we are going to overpay for a Forest player after 1st Jul.

£35m is the going rate for promising young players in the PL. we’re just not used to receiving those sorts of fees because we’ve struggled to shift so much dross during the Ashley years

Nah. There's no way Anderson is worth 35m. What did Gordon cost? 40m? And you'd have to say our negotiating position was actually worse than Everton's given the time constraints.

10 I think. Isak scored 6 last season. How many penalties did Shearer score for us? Nonsense argument

£35 million + a player for a benchwarmer is insane business. Forest are off their fucking head


I suspect it's not a player + cash deal, and more likely a "you give us £35mil for Anderson and we will give you £70mil for MGW" or similar

Agreed, you only get to take the pens if you’re the best penalty taker. And they’re goals regardless

Shame we sold Minteh in the end. We've maybe cleared the PSR shortfall with the Anderson deal alone. Or thereabouts.

Aye, that’s what I’m thinking. If this knocks 25 million off Gibbs-White, it’s an incredible deal

I take it all back. That's mental money for our 7th choice midfielder. I can only assume we are buying Elanga for £35mil tomorrow :lol:

They obviously have to score the penalties. The counter argument is that we already have a penalty taker so his output would be 7 goals from 38 games.

10 goals. Which is a good return for a player who spent half the season on the LW or playing as 10. Perfect understudy for Isak

Fred too. I actually think exile would run rings around Fred.

Could still happen, but the Saudi window is currently shut (opens July 17 according to transfermarkt). I think our last chance to offload him to there to fix this problem was Jan, when he was refusing to go. 

 

I think we might still see him and Wilson go there, but it would have been too late to fix our June 30 problem.

 

Now that we've fixed our June 30 problem the further sales will be injected back into the team in such a way that we don't have a June 30 2025 problem. Thereafter the PSR regulations are somewhat adjusted which will work in our favour as our revenue is on a strong upward trajectory.
