Seems a decent player but not quite sure what it is he is meant to be good at. Wouldn’t include in a deal for a left footed centre back though, that seems silly when he would be “pure profit” as the kids say, if sold for cash. Aye, on that left CM role, he has Willock and Joelinton to get in front of and then Gordon and Barnes to get through on the left wing. And that’s before you consider Miley and Harrison are waiting in the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends how it’s accounted for I suppose. For simplicity’s sake, if it were a straight swap and we agreed with Wolves to value both players at £50m then that’s £50m straight profit for each side and gives massive FFP wiggle room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44491 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Aye, even in a swap deal, Anderson would be given a disposal value and it would be pure profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 874 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Miley has already contributed more than Anderson in a short stint and he's well younger. If we can sell Anderson we absolutely should. He's got promoted side written all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4187 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Sometimes (rarely) it’s useful to get an accountants input. I didn’t know disposal values would could towards ffp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGinolaVolley 122 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Anderson was so unlucky to get injured last season, otherwise it would have been him (rather than Miley) getting all those first team games, and then we’d have a much better idea of his level. Seems a shame to consider letting a local lad go who could be a perfectly good squad player. But if that’s the sort of shit we have to do to survive the financial rules 🤷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6543 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 There is definitely a player in Anderson but I’m not sure what his position is. He can play various positions which is handy. If we have to, I’d personally be looking to move Longstaff on this summer and let Miley and Anderson break through behind Tonali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44491 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Ah, so this is us doing what Chelsea, Forest and Villa are doing. I hadn't twigged that previously. Inflate the value of DCL and Minteh and we both clear our PSR losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSR is fucking wank though when we're having to put ourselves in a weaker footballing position to abide by the arbitrary spending rules. Theyve managed to ruin silly season with this boring shit 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1293 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I dunno why we're stopping where we are. The knicker wearer should be £100m and Minteh £120m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13836 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I do think that if we can get ridiculous money (£30 million plus) for Minteh, we’ll invest that money so well over the next 3 windows that we’ll not even care that we sold him. I’ve got full faith in the recruitment and squad building side of the club these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2961 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 All of this because American ownership and old-money clubs have got together to restrict competition so they can maintain their position at the top of the tree and continue running footballs clubs for profit so they can skim off the top for themselves. Good ol' capitalism at work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44491 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Sacrificed on the altar of PSR. Hopefully this clears our problem, allows us to keep Bruno and Isak, and we can build our commercial income (or work the new rules) enough to not find ourselves in this position again.

thebrokendoll 9146 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 we need an upgrade on almiron, right wing contributed next to fuck all last season. seems like we potentially already own the solution but decide to sell him. great idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9294 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 While we undoubtedly could do with an upgrade at RW, I don’t get the fixation with it, seems all anyone talks about “we need a new RW” etc. last season we created/scored more goals than ever. For me, it’s the other end of the pitch that needs the priority investment, another right CB being #1 priority and better back up keeper, then striker depth then RW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson has always been wasteful whereas Miley protected possession well was defensively more present and showed a better range of passing without requiring space and time. We've seen enough of Anderson over the years. He'll definitely improve but I can't see him being at the level we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34909 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Minteh is completely unproven in England and it’s almost pure profit. That doesn’t mean I’m happy about it but I can see the rationale. It also doesn’t mean we don’t subsequently flog Almiron to a Saudi team whilst getting a serious RW upgrade. I can’t say signing DCL makes a lot of sense like. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
