Being fair to Anderson RT he's played 98 games, not sure how many of them are cup games but he's never played below L1 level.

 

Anderson has had two career threatening injuries which would slow any players progress

 

Of course there are lots of players who show potential at youth level who don’t make the grade and are released. And a few go on to have good careers proving the doubters wrong. I think to many stay to long at big clubs which inhibits there progress

 

I did my MCL twice as a teenager and it's completely shot, like you I'm surprised he's playing.

 

He wasn’t bad when he played last season, Anderson, though he was often a bit ‘meh’. But if he gets a good pre-season behind him then he may well turn out to be our Will Atkinson - as others have already suggested on the forum.

 

Is there any stats on young players who are overlooked at original club and go on to have a good career and at what level? Then clubs can try and work out what is the risk factor.

 

Opinions are what they are. Luckily as predicted a quality CM lands without a departure. There were a few hints this would happen but no guarantees. Hope this allays some concerns.

 

Yeah a lot of variables. Ability the most important but there are a lot of cases where a players attitude has got them further than their talent should have really allowed. There are times when a player is just at the wrong club at the wrong time, a manager has a certain way of playing which negates the best assets of said player. There is no set hard and fast rule to measure the potential of a player.

 

Unlucky, not shit.

 

Do you have the link ?.

 

Thanks for posting that Park, got to say I agree with you 100%.

 

I hope not. Atkinson improved from absolutely dire to extremely poor. Let's hope Anderson is at least three levels above that.

 

Agree.

 

I'd be disappointed if he's the left winger we bring in.

 

He doesn't ring any bells with me, is he pap?

Genuinely don't know who he is, probably due to his ultra common name.

 

I thought he was more of a central midfield player?. Sounds like Bowyer trusts him character wise, vastly experienced at a higher level, could be a very useful addition to the squad

 

He looked very ordinary v Briggus.
Strange running style and a carbon copy of Josh Wright IMO.

 

Well if he's a central player now then it should be an absolute no. We're already overloaded with shite in that position and need a proper defensive midfielder.

 

Well the fact he signed him twice says otherwise

 

By the sound of the interview he is just waiting for money to be freed up
