Anel is staying.

[brownblade]

I believe the interaction occurred, but doubt we can trust Anel in this scenario. Do players ever say they're leaving?

 

[ben1987]

I reckon we probably need a decent fee for him, if anyone’s silly enough to pay one after last season. If it was him or Hamer to go we’d all sell Anel any day of the week wouldn’t we. Would selling Bogle and Souza be enough to balance the books?

Also, if we’re playing 4231 this season, is he strong enough to be the right footer next to JLT?

Always thought he might actually be better stepping into midfield. He’s athletic and decent with the ball without being commanding at the back.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Maybe (I admit I'm being WILDLY optimistic here) he's had a bit of a reality check. Possibly the expected (by his dad at least) mega money offers haven't come rolling in after his shitawful showing last season. We know from his last season in the champ with us that there is a good player in there, so if he's maybe grown up a bit and realised he'll need to work for a big money move, then it could be a benefit to us in the short term at least?

If he could recreate 22/23 Anel in the coming season it would be like having a new player. We all expected him to go and had written him off, but if he knuckles down and regains form, he'd be a very handy player to have around.

Or he might fuck off somewhere next week. Who knows?

 

[Colombia Blade]

so, if we’re playing 4231 this season, is he strong enough to be the right footer next to JLT?

Think he could be a great right back in that formation

 

[JackSUFC]

He's been so shit nobody is in for him, what he didn't realise was every body was watching him just give up every game..as captain.

Hence, nobody wants him so he's stuck with us.

Only trouble with that, he’ll probably be another cunt who runs down his contract until we have to sell for less than the market value.

 

[Frank the tank]

Yeah he's going

 

[Bertie Mee]

Yeah he's going

Hope you’re right Frank his dial is stinking the place out. Get rid sharpish.

I'm not itk or anything but it's obvious he wants out
Would be a disaster if he doesn't get a move and stays on he can't be trusted anymore

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If he genuinely thinks he's staying then I suggest we lower our asking price. As long as we can get over about 7m, get him gone

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Anel is not going to tell a fan "yeah I'm off lads"

Just like Chris Wilder isn't going to ask the Prince what the status of the takeover is during a zoom meeting

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

I would cut Anel a bit of slack,the effect of Glandular fever is debilitating and can suck all the energy out of you for an awful long time.
It can be difficult for a none athlete to overcome,but much more of a problem for a professional sportsman.I would suggest that it could take upwards of 18 months to be well enough to have the energy to play top level sport again.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

There's no doubt that he was a bargain and been good for us. He didn't look like he wanted to be here last season so I hope he gets stuck in a bit this time and contributes more.

 

[Le Cynique]

Killa told me he was staying when I saw him at the train station getting a wad of cash out of the ATM. I still haven’t forgiven the lying fucker.

 

[FTPE]

Great news if true.
Although the "Pashun" fans won't like it.

Eh? You mean the ones that want him to put in some effort and look like he gives a shit?

 

[ekke287]

Here is his his lad

So on top of telling your mate he’s staying he’s also got your mates lad in earshot, likely with one of his heroes.

Colour me shocked he didn’t turn round and tell you he wants to fuck off asap.

 

[SRA76]

How’s it work in here ? Somebody gives a honest account because he is been honest and he’s labelled a liar or even worse a pig lol. What’s crack has everybody suddenly grown bollox cos they sat behind keyboards cos I’m pretty sure half of the people who spout this to others on here wouldn’t say it in railway before matches to people’s faces ?

It's because the forum Is so Full of pigs pretending to be blades and wet wipes who sound like pigs pretending to be blades it's becoming a bit tiresome

 

[Champagneblade]

In a year he’ll fall into the “only got 12 months left” bucket.

If we’re selling him, it may as well be now and to maximise value before his contract dictates.

 

[Flumps]

Couldn't care less whether he stays or goes to be honest.

However if he stays then he wants to buck his ideas up and just do his fucking job rather than spend his time throwing toys all over shop. He is and can be a decent player but his attitude and mindset is toxic. Sort that and I'd be happy for him to stay, if he has no plans on changing that then I'd rather he just piss off somewhere else.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

There are a lot of RCBs we could sign to replace him. That's another factor that makes selling a no brainer

 

[Eric_Brooks]

To be honest, until someone shows the money I would rather keep him and let him prove himself. I can't help think that it is more his Mannerisms (and his dad) which give people a misconception about him. He needs a leader alongside him though.

Balance the books wtf. Only a short time ago the lack of spending meant that the books had been balanced and that was the reason that investment could be made in the new training ground. I somehow feel columbo turning round as i leave moment.

Perhaps businesses aim to balance the books every year rather than occasionally.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Don’t mind Anel in this league but this will probably be the end of Worrall then I suspect if true.

 

[Andy67]

Mm like last year when they didn’t spend more than they recieved and the year before when they didn’t sign anyone etc what books need balancing (books that say 18 million needs paying for Archer or Macatee or Doyle’s signing or wages that were the lowest in the premier league and not the highest in the championship) oh yes those books. Closes door.

Does it also stop you being able to put a smile on your kite occasionally?

Walks back in 2nd highest attendances in championship

The year before we signed Anel plus paid out lots in loan fees and lost £31,400,000.

Like in 2022/23 when we lost £31,400,000.
