Blues and Bolton Linked With Aldershot Midfielder
Saturday, 15th May 2021 19:55

Town and Bolton are reported to be showing interest in Aldershot midfielder Jermaine Anderson, who is a free agent this summer.

Anderson joined the Vanarama National League Shots in December last year having left Bradford during the summer.

Now Football Insider claim the Blues and Trotters are keen on the 24-year-old, who has scored four times in 25 starts and three sub appearances since joining Aldershot.

Anderson was a schoolboy with Arsenal’s academy before moving on to Peterborough’s youth set-up and broke into Posh’s first-team in 2012.

Having had a spell on loan at Doncaster, London-born Anderson, who won England caps at U18 and U20 levels, joined Bradford on a similar basis in January 2019 before making the move permanent the following summer.

Town boss Paul Cook is understood to be looking to rebuild his squad with players of Championship quality this summer, so a move for a player from the National League with no experience above League One level would be a surprise.

Monkey blue depends on squad size, smaller squad means more wages to go around!

Gemini... i can explain, its a rumour! and i doubt the slightest grain of truth. Why dont we wait and see who does get signed before we comment on the calibre of players we are being linked with, gonna be a lot more in the coming weeks!

I have not seen this fella play but his record/career so far does not suggest he would cut it in the top end of the 3rd div (which is where we are/intend to be.
Blues 1- the comparison with Vardy is false - he was the best confs player - won promotion to the football lge almost single-handed at fleetwood, and scored loads of goals. This fella is a midfielder, but with a so-so goals record in the confs. And can't have been 'all that' with his prev league clubs or Sadford & p'bro wouldnt have moved him on.

Also- mentioning Mings... Yes he came from a lower level BUT was younger. He was barely out of his teens, and MM took a punt on him. Probly on hundreds £ p.w. initially. AND Mick was doing so from a position of strength- upper 2nd div club at the time, and he had Mings come into a squad (he was Cressy's understudy remember) rather than first 11. PC is supposed to be looking for a small competitive squad in the 3rd div. Very different situation. I've not got a problem with shopping in the confs IF it's for the top young player in the div, and we don't expect too much of them - get them in at age 19-20, and they have a chance to develop/impress gradually (handful of subs appearances in the 1st season etc). At his age he needs to play regularly AND, for us, be a star. We are supposed to be shopping for 1 of, OR the best team in the 3rd div. We have our own youngsters to be squad players behind those.

If the manager builds a team taking players from the lower leagues and doesn't start getting results very quickly, he'll be in for one hell of a lot of stick from all quarters. If that happens to be the case, he'll be lucky to survive until Christmas.

That being said, there is quality to be found in those lower leagues... little gems and golden nuggets just waiting to be unearthed and, given a bit of a polish, they could shine bright in League One.

However, there will be loads of speculation about this player and that player interesting Town, but we have to take these stories with a large pinch of salt until the manager confirms his interest.

All I hope for is some genuine entertainment, a good style of play which is exciting to watch, a willingness to win and some energy and passion to return to Portman Road... we've waited long enough for these things to rematerialize within our beloved club.

For now, all we can do is trust that Paul Cook has a firm plan to implement, players identified who can play his system effectively and the financial backing of the new owners to enable him to purchase these players.

As I've stated previously, I won't judge Cook UNTIL he puts his own team on the field and we can assess the job he does going forward from there.

I so hope he gets this right!

"It doesn't matter how much the Jew owners have."

What does their ethnicity or religion have to do with anything?

Or was that a typo??
