Agree with Wolfie. Re the Anderson replacement, we could never replace a like with like , we are going to play a new system there is no guarantee that Anderson would have flourished in the new system and by the way if there was another player similar to Anderson but for half the price, City would have bought him instead of Ando and not let another club buy him.
It is our destiny to find new gems or polish existing ones, then we sell and move on to next one.
If Mcatee improves and is able to hold his place in midfield, maybe we will not sell for over 100 million but for half of that would be good considering that Hutch is valued at 40. I think Mcatee is much better then Hutch.
I also have faith in Schlager, injuries Permitting he will be an Archie Gemmill.
Re Central defence the headache for OG is how to keep happy Milo, Murrilo, Cuhna and Diomeded, as they are first 11 material. I doubt any of them is going to fake injuries as that will mean allowing the next in line to shine and take their place.
Delay is going to make or break. We needed a proper striker, if he gets close to the Wood of two seasons ago, we will be spending most games in the opposition box and both the defence and will have nothing to do ( as the old game used to say).
