Anel

[Newbury Blade]

Yes, and without sounding like captain obvious, it unfortunately means £4m less future income - which is another hole to fill (unless this is instead of Souttar).

It’s instead of Souttar.

You must have a mind like a sewer……….



…and a right hand like a foam cheering hand

My missus says I have always had the weirdest sense of humour she's ever seen, part of the reason she loves me, that and my 10 inch todger

 

[ancientblade]

think 4m is a good deal for us with anel and although im a fan of souttars hes not twice the value of anel

 

[Bladesman]

I think it's odd that he is already getting bombed out and he has only been there since last August.

 

[Reedy1889]

Oh is that why Nixon is questioning who it's written by? I thought he'd just lost the plot

Yeah the original poster is likely just some school boy.

 

[VonBrysonsExpress]

Is Anel the CB we need? Not against bringing him back but once again just feels like a lack of forward planning by the club, how will we shoehorn him in, what if we can't offload other CBs, everyone seemed positive about baptiste having a route through this season?

No idea wtf is happening. Why have we so many middling midfielders all playing the same role?

What's the plan, is it just in wilder we trust?

We desperately need a CB who can play the ball forward with his feet, progress into midfield etc.

 

[Richy Rich]

I see we've gone into the 'monitoring the situation with a view to missing out' stage of proceedings

The 'we sit idle whilst the player signs elsewhere' stage is next.

 

[DifferentClass]

With or without KY

Kylian Yves, new French defender?

 

[JD88]

Still a good few players to ship out which I think is being overlooked, admittedly easier said than done. If the money for anel is 4 million minus what they still owe (allegedly) then we wouldn’t be far off raising that fee and having the wages. Therefore looking at signing them both.

Both Tanganga and Anel would be better at the side of Souttar rather than a partnership between them imo

I think the players we want gone will be loans out only...

 

[HansSegars]

It is so United to be after 2 former players,be great if the cunts doing signings stretched beyond former players especially in the case of the new Tom Davies on loan for season

 

[CaptainMorgans]

For me, Anel is too good to ignore at that price, at this level... and if he genuinely wants to come back (and it seems he does), then we should find a way to make it happen and move the parts around to suit as soon as we can (get rid of McGuinness and / or Tanganga).
It should not come at the expense of the Souttar chase (or another dominant, physical CB) s they're totally different players.

I wouldn't usually be this gung-ho with it, but I think this is worth making an exception for... similar to the McBurnie deal we didn't do last Summer.

 

[luffenhamblade]

Honestly I'd sign Anel first, then see if Leicester panic , I'd like us to buy both but 2 atm and/or wingers are at the top of the list .

Yes though at a more sensible price for Souttar

 

[ATL Recs]

HOW DOES HE KNOW HE WANTS THE MOVE

One of his racing pigeons told him so when he got home

 

[NerdyBlade]

Someone called Lena Cizdohdemha told him

Not questioning you, just want to know how you know?

Absolutely spot on. It boggles my mind that so many posters on here are finding a way to make our pursuit of Anel a negative.
We know exactly what he brings… in a position where we’re short. It really is a no brainer if the financials stack up.
Whether we could get Souttar as well might hang on whether we can sell McGuinness at the right price. That said, I’d be very happy for him to stay. We’d have 4 very good CBs including Baptiste… with complimentary qualities.

 

[SwissBlade]

The more you read Hall's columns, the more you can see he's Wilder's puppet, whether directly or indirectly, he's not hiding it very well.

Wit similarly says things that are anti-Board and pro-Wilder quite regularly and is clearly his best mates mouthpiece... you worry where that stuffs heading.

Yet another reason for a DoF (or similar) and not shoving all your eggs in the basket of Wilder & his pals.

I’m not ITK on this but I don’t know that Wit is his mouth piece, from what I see and have heard, they’re good mates and probably shares more than is good sometimes.

I’m sure sometimes what Wit posts is intentional with Wilders own backing and sometimes not. But I guess Wit and others hear stuff directly or indirectly and post it for their own reasons. Sometimes there is a wind up element, I’m sure

Saying this - what if we don't sell McGuinness or Tanganga, and don't go after Souttar? Anel at LCB, Tanganga at RCB with McGuinness as the deeper, central CB?

Tbf, in this case it's actually two good players who are still in their prime and would unquestionably improve the squad.

Didn't Wit quote someone as being our saviour during preseason camp, when a couple of blokes were seen with the owners in Valencia.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Not coming....not itk, just know other clubs have money in the back of the couch and will spend it. Sheffield United doesn't own a couch!!

 

[Peaktrade]

Wilder please get rid of your emotional fixation of Soutts learn from the Brewster deal and bring Anel back. It’s a no brainer!

 

[MartBlade]

Yep .. I’d be happy with that… Baptiste a really good back up too. I think you’re right about how the 3 would line up.

The only advantage we have is that we are probably still owed money off the original sale, yes that might affect us/mean we have to move on a player later but it can be used to offset the total value, salary wise we have freed up a big salary in Gus. Time will tell

I want Tanganga, Anel and Souttar !

AND I WANT THEM NOW !!!!!!

I hope you are onto something there.

Is a strange on. He was ever present until picking up an injury early April and hasn't featured since apart from a few minutes in 2 pre-season games....
