@UTD_Louie Think they're still aiming Anderson. Just gotta wait for the transfer ban to happen with City. Hopefully happens during the world cup and then he's available to us on a free run. 90m+10, 55m+10 for Fernandes, 35m Ederson.
@FlexUTD Whatever it takes. He's next season's Anderson. Get him whatever the cost and reap the benefits for a decade +. Let him go elsewhere and we will look on like we will with Anderson.
@ConnorF1878 Personally think Fernandes can play the Anderson/Baleba/Tonali role as well. I'm just really high on Fernandes and think he has a very high ceiling.
@CharZiyanah I don't think it's controversial. I think Fernandes is operating at a high level and has a ceiling around Anderson. I've never been more excited about a player.
@AcademyScoop I think we should aim for Garner as well. Ederson, Garner, Fernandes, Mainoo. We'd be elite. It's not the sexy names everyone wants but Fernandes will be Anderson like, Garner is great and will get better. Ederson decent rotation option.
@markgoldbridge Who is for the bench? Fernandes will be our number 1 CM in the season. He will be as good as Anderson. Ederson will be a good option for specific games.
Also rather sign the cheaper players first than the expensive and then pay more for the cheap.
You want the club to make a 100m player their first signing, you want them to set wrong precedence for the rest of the window??
You all have not single clue.
@IanM1st Why do we need a marquee signing? I'd rather just get 3 who can work together with Kobbie. Garner, Ederson, Fernandes (who will be elite in a year or 2), with Mainoo provides good options and great combinations to handle all PL situations.
Garner, Ederson and Fernandes with Mainoo would be brilliant CM options.
We don't need a "marquee" signing. We need a squad that can compete and if that means we get 2 players for the price of 1 "marquee" I take it this Summer.
Obviously if money isn't an issue it's all good.
