if we could get him, i reckon he will replace zambo as our record signing. they paid over 20 million for him two seasons ago. his performances might just price him out of our range
He is quality and we need him in the spine of our team.
Reading this tread, it occurred to me that this could have been written about Hector at the beginning of this year ort at other times, the Viking or Mawson. We have been void of a quality CB since Brede. Still, Anderson does seem to be best of the lot, except perhaps for Adarabioyo.
I would be amazed if he is at either Fulham or Lyon next season.
From what I see, he is absolutely top drawer.

yes thats my worry too
Would love him to stay, but he was quite clear in interview that he wants to return to Lyon and fight for his place there.
You never know what'll happen, but I don't think it's a given that we could tempt him to stay even if we threw money at Lyon

they are in the title hunt too this season and might have champions league next season too. that said if he keeps us up, its job done isnt it. we will possibly only be looking for one cb in the summer so should be easier to get what we need rather than a mass scramble to replace the whole back four with back ups
He's not be MOM, but he's always a contender for 1 of our best players. Very consistent 8 out of 10's.
He's incredible, and a real captain at that too.
He might want to fight for his spot at Lyon next season, but still plenty of time between now and the end of the season, if he enjoys his time here and we stay up, his desires might change :dft012:
If Joachim was Swedish he probably would be named Anderson, but his Danish.
:023:
It didn't work out at Lyon, it could be to do with lots of things, i.e. doesn't get on with the manager, football style etc. He might settle at Fulham, who knows. He has always wanted to play in The Premiership, why leave, if we maintain our status.
He's going to be a 'Colossus' for us.
Hmm when London opens up and he gets settled it might be a different story. Especially if we sign Areola etc on permanents. Let's wait and see.
We currently don't have an option to make permanent but that can't stop us putting in a bid.
I think with fans in the stadium would help to show him some love and how much we appreciate him.

The Cottage has a certain magic about it. What if Lyon don't want him back (wishful thinking of course).
i prefer him as captain over cairney
If he continues on current form I would not object to throwing £40m at Lyon to secure his signing. Of course then it would be up to the player but we can only do our best.
After agreeing his loan move, Andersen said: "I'm really happy to make this move. I'm looking forward to playing in the Premier League and playing for a nice club like Fulham. "It's a league I've been following since I was a child and it's a big, big dream to play in the Premier League, so I'm looking forward to it."5 Oct 2020
Problem is even if Lyon do well this season he has to break into that squad and break up a decent CB pairing to get into the squad (those CB's that are already making a claim for that starting 11 role).
Should we stay up a nice four year deal in the Premier League and £25M to Lyon - I could see that happening
If he was in Lyons' plans he wouldn't be here. Let's hope he maintains his performances and decides to stay.
He is playing very well as are a number of others, so expect other Clubs to start sniffing around. Don't know if his loan agreement has a return clause but hope not as I can see him and Areola being in demand from a number of clubs.
Did anyone see Robinson made Crouches team of the week in the paper today.
On this board we have been crying out for good centre backs for a long time, it looks as is with Anderson and Adarabioya our demands have at last been met. They are the best we have had since Hangeland and Hughes.
Tony Khan should now be working hard to ensure they don't leave.

Exactly this.
He's already said on a few occasions how much he likes it here and especially keeps mentioning Parker. I think we'd have a great chance of getting him IF (underlined and in bold) we stay up!
He also stated that he wanted to go back to Lyon at the end of his loan.
Couldn't we send Seri to Lyon as an exchange?

Yeah this is what I see as well. Maybe £20m with add one though
Think it will largely depend on where we finish. Obviously any move is dependent on us staying up, but if we scrape 17th then its a hard sell, given we probably wont be able to recruit that well in the summer. If performances like Liverpool continue and we can creep in to the lower middle of the table I can see it happening.
He's got the type of chip on his shoulder (I say that lovingly) that we have so desperately needed at the back.
Lyon have a strong CB pairing in Dneayer and Marcelo atm, the problem is that Marcelo is turning 34 so they may wish to replace him with JA. If they get into Champions league he will probably be gone.

I think staying up is the thing , no matter where we finish, we'll still be a Prem team, with that foundation to build on, and that money coming in, and thus may be attractive to Andersen, who might want to stay if he can, since he's already done so well - captain, and already a fan favourite, and sure of a first team place.
He could achieve things with us, which could appeal.
A lot different than if we're relegated to the Championship.
Agree with RaySmith.
If we go down of course he'll go but if we stay up, I think we'll spend big again and the future will look very promising.
Remember London is better than Lyon, the PL is better than Ligue One, and being captain and starting every week is better than being an anonymous 4th or 5th choice squad player.

Lyon is actually a really nice place. Great resteraunt scene, less crowded, ski slopes with 2 hours drive, cheap wine.....

We've got Putney Pies , Guildford and Brentwood ski slopes and London Pride ...
No contest
I'm sure Lyon is a lovely holiday/retirement destination but if I was a good looking 24 year old millionaire I'd be after a bit more action personally
Lets do well and see where we are, he's only going to get better. Already has an understanding with Tosin & co.
Surely wouldn't be given armband for just one season, obviously Parker has big plans with him and hopefully will convince him to stay
Marcelo may be gone in the summer:

TK needs to get this deal done asap. Only a matter of time before some of the bigger PL clubs come in for him. Ditto for Alphy.
I loved his attitude in the FFC video interview about a week ago.
He looks and plays like a captain, with a calm but insistent attitude, inspiring confidence. It is beginning to look like we have made some outstanding signings this season.

Is the Pie &Eel shop still in Lillie road, get him hooked on that and he wouldn't want to leave.

They sell pies in London?

So very sorry, apologies I should mind my manners- as Tarquinius just reminded me - this is Fulham
It's more like Putney Pithiviers
When I was in Lyon i ordered soup, and it was cold.
Cold soup and a glass of wine v pie and a pint!

Clearly there could, probably will, be some sort of deal with Canal but it may well be at a much, much lower price. French clubs already struggle to call meets financially with clubs from the big leagues and this will probably leave most of them in a position and of having to sell to survive. Very interesting.

Saw this thread and was just about to post this story. Lyon will likely be one of the clubs better able to weather the storm, so to speak, but, this could work in our favor anyway. Certainly, lighter wallets will make for easier sales.
