Elliot Junior Anderson OF ENGLAND!

Just read Marinakis will personally deal with a potential departure for Anderson. Good luck to the Manchester teams.
There was/will never be any doubt that it will be EM's personal mission to conduct negotiations on behalf of NFFC, regardless of what Ellliot's agent and the people in Abu Dhabi might desire. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one or more of the European giants might be involved if he sufficiently impresses at the WC.

For this reason I think the teams really keen on him will want to get a deal sorted beforehand. Fitness permitting he will be a major success at the World Cup.

When do we need the sale contract to be struck?
I'm remembering the farce over the sale of Brennan, when the deal wasn't signed until after the relevant FFP deadline, and our appeal was thrown out of court with a subsequent -point deduction.
If the relevant date is before the World cup Farce is over, and we are deducted another 4 points this season if we are in breach as a result, then the sale date is an important consideration.

If one of his prospective suitors amongst the cartel, or abroad, is prepared to meet EM's valuation then I expect that is possible. However, the MEN report suggests that Manchester City want a cut-price deal.

I agree with the Captain. The key to the valuation will be our PSR position. If we need to complete a sale by 30 June, then I’m afraid we are in a much weaker negotiating position. In that scenario, Man City or someone else could well get him on the cheap.

If that is the case, then as with Brennan, we can argue all we want about how unfair the rules are, but the club has allowed itself to be in this position again. Any club relying on a sale in June to stay on the right side of PSR will always risk not getting full value for their players. Lets not forget, that’s how we got Anderson from Newcastle and offloaded Vlach in the first place.

Unfortunately that's the position most clubs are in now due to the ridiculous nature of PSR.

They've all got deadlines to sell players by in order to meet the rules.

I know we're biased but if you consider his stats, age, position etc. and look at recent sale figures in the prem I genuinely think he's a player in the £100m bracket, would love to see the cctv coverage of the negotiations with EM and the cartel weasels

I can't see how that scene ends in any other way than the tasty end of a fountain sticking out of an agents eye and a laptop jammed up a City execs arse.

Price will be largely determined on what league we are in. If in prem and champions league then happy days as pressure to sell is greatly reduced.

Agreed, but other clubs (e.g. Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth) sell and then reinvest in line with their available headroom so they never seem to flirt with PSR. As a result, they generally get good value for their players.

I like to imagine Marinakis dabbing the corners of his mouth with a napkin after he's devoured another agent and CEO in a transfer negotiation.

EM is a very successful business man, football is a business so I expect him to steer the Forest ship in the right direction and has probably been talking to various agents/clubs about various players already.
He may have a plan to keep EA, you never know.

I know he is a bit hot headed but I have faith he will do us proud :)

From next season they assess them after each window, in March & October. So there won't be anymore ridiclous made up deadlines that have no impact at all on the season. It will be based on the full transfer window, but twice instead of just over a full season.

Not that it helps us for this summer.

But really, if we are in trouble for the deadline & are not receiving good offers for our players, there will be plenty of teams in the same position wanting to trade players. I don't think it will change things, our asking price will be our asking price, if there are lots of clubs interested they will want to get in early anyway.

The only realistic way I see him staying is if we win the Europa League, and even then it's unlikely if Man City are willing to meet our asking price. We'll have to get a big sale on the books this summer just to keep the PSR wheels moving.

I'd be surprised if we accept anything under £80m in those circumstances.

Those cartel weasels will no doubt be thrown by the sight of John Textor in a gimp suit, chained to the fax machine.
