'When will we learn?' - fans torn on 'overpriced' but 'fantastic' Anderson

[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on Manchester City agreeing a club-record £116m deal to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, and where you see him fitting into the starting XI for the upcoming season. Here are some of your thoughts: Josh: He is definitely overpriced, the English player tax is at it again! A good player with bags of potential, but a big risk for that price. We did need to replace Bernardo Silva though, so I guess it is that. £115m would have been funnier. David: No, no, no! When will we learn? It is just a repeat of the Jack Grealish fiasco. Julia: With Bernardo Silva leaving and maybe Rodri, we need some top quality midfielders to replace them. He is English, which is a bonus, especially as it helps our Champions League quotas. It is a lot of money, but he is very young and we need him. Mike: Watching him play at the World Cup, I don't even think he is worth £30m, nevermind £130m. Overrated. Nige: It is a lot of money, I agree, however, he has the potential to be as influential for us as Declan Rice is for Arsenal , if not more. Given the fact we were allegedly offered £70m to £80m for Savinho, this price is about right for Anderson. Warren: If it is actually £130m then I'm disappointed in City paying that. No player is worth that sort of money. I know he is young, but it is getting ridiculous the amount of money the club is playing for any player. It needs sorting out. Sean: A fantastic young player who has got a lot of things going for him, although I think we have been over-charged because of who we are. With Rodri probably seeing out the last 12 months of his contract, we had to act now before somebody else came in for him.
