    Out of interest, has anyone watched this Anderson guy play before? Anybody follow Serie A? I ask as I see loads of comments on forums & social media about what a class signing he'll be, but before this window I'd never heard of him or seen him & I watch a lot of football lol. Wonder how many of the comments are from people who know anything about him.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Was thinking the same. I've never heard of him.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    To be honest lukerz I’ve heard of him but never seen him actually play but I can’t recall making a comment as such, friends of mine who are scousers say they have seen him and say he looks class

    Here you go Lukerz Ade

    I trust Pellegrini knows what he is doing. Anderson looks good from the clips above has good feet quick can beat his man and some decent finishes in there aswell I look forward to seeing our front 3 with Arnie and Yarmolenko I think we could cause teams a lot of problems and be a lot better counter attacking
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    And from the clips he looks unselfish too and uses both feet

    Bernard story again he is on a free :neutral:

    Would be crazy if he arrived. If we go with MP's suggested preferred formation of 4-2-2-2, how about (with only 1 more addition):

    -------------------Fabianski-----------------

    Fredericks------Diop------Ogbonna-----Cresswell

    ----------Sturaro------------Wilshere---------

    -----Anderson------------------Bernard-------

    -----------Yarmie-------Arnie-----------------

    Would only feature 2 of last season's squad in the starting line up, and, in all honesty, Cresswell has struggled in a back 4 recently, but that team, or even a front 4 of Arnie in front of Yarmie - Anderson - Bernard (in a 4-2-3-1), would be of a quality we're not used to.

    Pie in the sky I know, especially given that Anderson isn't even over the line yet, but no harm in dreaming.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Bernard would be an incredible pick up on a free. Quality player, vastly underrated imo. Surprised one of the big clubs haven't snatched him up.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Arnie

    Bernard Anderson Yarmalenko

    (tasty)
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Frightening pace. Both Bernard and Anderson are supposed to be amongst the quickest around
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    We will be in the relegation zone after the first round of games ;whistle

    With Chelsea and Arsenal in disarray we're on for top 6.

    Balbuena to be announced soon, according to the Twittersphere
  • LukerzLukerz
    They are printing Balbuena shirts in the club store apparently. Pictured on Twitter.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    If Balbuena and Anderson go through we will have a squad of thirty one. Three are out medium to long term leaving twenty eight. Time for some pruning methinks.

    Fredericks
    Fabianski
    Diop
    Wilshere
    Yarmolenko
    Anderson
    Balbuena
    Masuaku
    Adrian
    Zabaletta
    Reid
    Ogbonna
    Noble
    Arnautovic
    Hernandez
    Obiang
    Carroll
    Fernandes
    Cresswell
    Lanzini
    Carroll
    Reid
    Byram
    Snodgrass
    Cullen
    Haksabonavic
    Quinna
    Hugill
    Kouyate
    Antonio
    Oxford

    Suggested on KUMB that they are trying to get the Balbuena signing announced ahead of Anderson, so it isn't completely overshadowed by it. Could be something in it, Balbuena this evening, Anderson tomorrow or Monday.

    Oxford is still U21, I think, as are Haskabanovic, and Quina, so they don't need to be included in the 25 list.

    That said, I think there will be some pruning anyway.

    Most likely would be Snodders, since we appear to be signing lots of players in his position, and he'd be behind Antonio anyway.

    I'd guess Huggers and Byram could also be on their way.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    That would be 2 home grown.....

    And Ginge has gone. How are we doing on our quota?

    Herb you've got two ;ac ;ac ;lol


    Edit: and Reid.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    As a left field I reckon they might try and cash in on Arthur

    I think quite a few could be moved on now

    Byram £4m
    Oxford £12m
    Kouyate £10m
    Fernandes £8m
    Cullen £3m
    Antonio £15m
    Snodgrass £8m
    Hugill £8m
    Quina £3m

    Im not saying all those will leave obviously, but thats £70mil of possile sales right there (think most of the vlaues are reasonably fair) without too much impact on us

    I'd like to keep Oxford, Quina and Fernandes on that list unless a good offer comes in

    Also i doubt we'd let go of both Snodgtass and Antonio in the same window
