From Barca to Orient - back down to earth with a b
Okay I've put this here as I'd like to see other fans views about him not just Utd
Having been here over a year now I've seen the cafe get euphoric about him - another Keane, world superstar etc etc
He's turned in some good performances, v us in the FA cup springs to mind, but I've watched and waited and actually I don't fancy him. At the moment I'd say I'd be wanting a hell of a lot more from a player costing £17 million
I see him making surging runs every now and then, sometimes hitting a good through ball, tacking strong, good stamina, sometimes good ball control but actually more often than not hollywood passes, poor positioning, appalling finishing, giving the ball away, sometimes even clumsy
For me plenty of bustle and energy but actually and maybe I'm blind to it, I don't see the kind of consistant quality I'd expect from a player costing that kind of investment. If you got him for a £mill or so I'd see the sense and positivity but for 17mill - blimey. Id honestly be dissapointed if he were at Arsenal
I think the mythology also has got into gear - the 'Anderson owns Fabregas' I fail to see at all - bit like the mythological 'Neville has Vieira in pocket' etc etc
Anderson played well at the Emirates last year and Liverpool and was very combative played great in the cup game but actually apart from a couple of things I thought he was quite poor on Saturday and spent a lot of it trying to stay with Fabregas and never quite doing anything and as been pointed out Fabs lost him for the 2nd goal. He looked a bit disjointed and lacking in ideas imo. Some on here thought he was MoTM !!
Again at times he looks a good player but 'kinell he's a million miles away from Keane Robson Vieira etc etc
When I consider Nani and Rafeal I cant see Anderson being anywhere near those especially Rafeal who looks fantastic every time I get a glimpse of him
I'm not slagging him for fun so dont turn it into a 'my bollocks are bigger than yours' thread
Like to also hear what people outside of Utd think
(ps no doubt he'll become a superstar after these comments)
