Jamie Carragher Reveals the Harsh Truth Behind How Newcastle Could Have Kept Elliot Anderson
Elliot Anderson’s return to St James’ Park ended in defeat as Newcastle United claimed a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. The 22-year-old midfielder, now thriving at Forest and earning England recognition, remains a painful loss for his boyhood club. Jamie Carragher described Anderson as “the one that got away,” suggesting that Newcastle might have been wiser to sell a senior star rather than their homegrown talent to navigate PSR constraints. For many fans, seeing Anderson excel elsewhere is a bitter reminder of what could have been.
