Still find it mental the two English players on this list deemed not good enough to make our squad #england #nffc

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest Ok mate, if you say so 🙄

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest If you say so. Like I said well done, you had one of the best players in the league and gave him 1000 mins then sold him for 15m 😂😂

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest And there’s no objective data that says Anderson was as good 2 years ago as he is now!

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest 😂 so you honestly think he was this good 2 years ago. Tell me this, which of these is more stupid?
1 - you never played him
2 - you sold him for 15m
Cos you you did both to a player so good England build a team around him and Man City want to spend 120m to do the same 🤡

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest Just admit it, we took a very good young player from you & improved him to be one of the best in prem. By your logic you had one of the best players in prem whose also one of the first names on the England team at a World Cup, and you chose to give him zero minutes in the pitch?

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest Playing him deeper has seen him flourish in a role where he can dictate the game. Amazes me how all Newcastle fans knew he was class but when we signed him he couldn’t get a game because of Sean longstaff 😂

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@dondatta13 @NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest So good he couldn’t get in your team because of, checks notes, Sean longstaff. As if you gave away a 120m midfielder for 15m because you preferred Sean longstaff 😂

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@NUFCdiscussion @AnalyticsForest We massively improved him too. Changed his position for a start.

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@wollie_na @RealTolmie 150m + 30m in add ons apparently

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

Man City's second offer worth £120m for Elliot Anderson has been rejected ❌

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@HBK_32 @JayG00nie @Skill1ssueFT @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC What part of “when Arsenal signed him” do Arsenal fans find so hard to understand. Seriously

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

RT @JanAageFjortoft: That second red card for South Africa in NOT correct!!!

Please understand the game

[Road To Cheltenham @RoadCheltenham]

⚽️ The game has well and truly gone if we're giving red cards for that.

[Bruce Millington @brucemillington]

Well, we had 83 glorious minutes before VAR decided to stick its beak in and remind us how horrifically shit it is. Never ever a red. It’s going to be a long six weeks.

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

VAR just can’t help but get involved. It’s like they sit in that room and look for anything they can to get involved in, they just can’t handle not being needed or involved. If im honest it’s utterly pathetic #WorldCup

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@JacobsBen What happened to your inside info on “significantly less than 100m” for Anderson Ben?

[Dave Holmes @DaveHo1mes]

Respectfully, it’s not #NFFC’s fault that #MCFC and #MUFC can’t afford Elliot Anderson 🤷‍♂️

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@Skill1ssueFT @JayG00nie @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC So according to your stats rice before Arsenal signed him had an average rating of 7.0 and Anderson last season a rating of 7.2. Thank you for proving me right whilst trying to prove me wrong

[Ian Bent @ian_bent]

@ArsenalArteta14 @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC This is Declan Rice now, my comment was Declan rice when he signed 🤔🙄🤣🤣
