But do you really think he's going to go on to be a great player?

The more I watched him, the more I realised I wanted him to be better than he is. And kinda pretended so.

A decent player. He will never win an England cap.
Time will tell just how good Anderson can be. Who knows, but we can all agree he was down the pecking order in midfield for us.

I wish him all the best.

A mate of mine said something similar "if he was a Charlton Athletic academy player would be so sad to sell him on?"

Not really, the club are doing what all the fans want. Being Ruthless. Ensuring we keep all our top talent, even when our former Director of Football was actively sharing confidential information to a rival club and intentionally not doing his job/sabotaging player contract renewals.

We're in great shape. It's tough not letting the emotions run away with us. We've been an abused fan base for so long. It's difficult to snap out of that mentality. The Fatso years really did a number on our psychology as fans.

It's all different now. We'll have better players coming in. Of that, I have zero doubts!
