Being reported forest would demand upwards of 100mil for anderson. Steer well clear!

Depending on where Forest are come January, Dyche may want to freshen up the team. Now getting rid of their best player would be ridiculous I appreciate that but I'd be tempted to offer Ugarte plus cash for Anderson and maybe Mainoo til the end of the season on Loan as a tempter. If anything, it will get the wheels in motion for Summer.
To get the calibre of player we need in CM, we will be looking at £80M upwards and yes it's a huge amount of money, but for a 23 year old, if we can get 10 years from them that's £10M a year.

Why would Forest take Ugarte for no particular reason lol.
Hes not very good and his wages are substantial, certainly for forests wage structure.
Maybe we could offer them Mount on loan in exchange for gibbs white as well and do a double swoop.
11 Nov 2025 13:33:55
He's on par with their top 4 earners, in fact Douglas Luiz is on more than him. There is a reason, he's a CM, as is Anderson so not leaving them short in that position. You may think he's not very good but others in Football may rate him, including Bielsa who seems to pick him for Uruguay most games.
He knows a bit about Football and he may just suit Forest's and Dyche's style compared to United's. Other than that, yeah it's a sound argument you put forward.

So after watching Ugarte in the premier league you think he should be a top 5 earner at nottingham forest, a club that reached the european places last year.
Douglas luiz is on more than him because he is a better player as he showed for a good couple of years at Aston Villa.
We need to stop this arrogant view of our playing squad and elevated opinion of some of these players ability.

Why would Anderson come to United and be expected to stay 10 years that’s just dreaming!
Everyone wanted Baleba on the back of one good season, look at this season.
Everyone raved about Ugarte look how that turned out.
11 Nov 2025 15:06:50
You said his wages are substantial, certainly for forests wage structure. I pointed out he's on par with 4 of their players and 1 is on more. It doesn't matter whether I think that's where he should be or not.
Elliot Anderson is a better player than Douglas Luiz and showed last season in the Premier League helping Forest get to European places, Luiz failed to make an impact at Juventus, involved in no goals, wasn't a regular and was inconsistent when he did play, why isn't Anderson on more than Luiz?
I am unsure on why suggesting we use a player who is currently not reaching the levels the team needs due to how we are playing as part of a deal to get a player in as well as offering money also is an arrogant view? Perhaps, Forest's style is better for Ugarte which is why it would work for all parties? Suggesting Forest give us Anderson plus cash then you'd have point.

IF he stays for 10 years Je Suit unite. IF. But he’s 23, why is it unrealistic to think he could stay for 10 years?
12 Nov 2025 05:57:26
Because it’s 2025 and no player stays for 10 years and we are nowhere near the pull we once were and if he were to become a fantastic player, which he not yet Madrid, Bayern, PSG Barcelona will come calling to think we can hold a player for 10 years is delusional. Just look at the facts, poorly owned club realistically few years away from winning anything and still no guarantee of that, no striker at the club at all, jury out big time on the manager, SJR debacle of owning minority share, muting of new ground so be even less money to spend like happened at emirates at Spurs even happening at Madrid and Barca, so only defence you have of him staying 10 years is AGE….
12 Nov 2025 14:14:45
What utter nonsense.
13 Nov 2025 09:49:56
If they want 100m, pay it.
He was absolute class against us.
Get it done.
Secure the title, or top 4.
Keep the process moving.
The way he is playing, 100m in Jan is 130 in the summer.
13 Nov 2025 14:39:56
I would rather spend £100m on the right player than £50m on another Ugarte who is nowhere near good enough and needs to be replaced after two seasons.
Is Elliot Anderson the right player? I don’t know, but if the people in charge of signings are confident that he is then so be it.
13 Nov 2025 16:00:41
Agreed redseven. So many people scoffed at paying that type of money for Rice and I don't think most regard that as poor spending by Arsenal now.
14 Nov 2025 00:52:26
Je suis is the latest Maze incarnation clearly, don’t feed the troll. Nonsense already.
16 Nov 2025 13:17:51
Anderson looked class for England, looks a complete CM to me and can pass, comfortable in close with players around him. It’s the United tax on the price. Question is why have we not been picking up players like that before they get to £100m. Still, if the scouts like him, buy. You know I would sell Bruno to fund it, we missed that trick in summer. Still suspect that will be one of the big deals in summer. Thing is we need a CM on 1st Jan.
Ugarte takes a lot of stick, my humble opinion is that he isn’t suited to how we play. He looks like he is comfortable up close, one of a central 3. However, there is space all around him here and Bruno doesn’t play like that. When opposition run at him with space he doesn’t look comfortable. I think he is a really good player that was not bought for how United play.
