I think it was partly because people saw how good he could be in that first season, but we should have given up on him long before we did.
The mad bastard will end up actually slimming down now. He will discover diet and fitness after retiring like the lunatic he is.
Rashford is being written off by some already. Anderson had some decent to good performances in his first season, after that is was a complete joke.
Your point is?
He still had short spells where he looked great, but they were few and far between. I vaguely remember him starting a season like a house on fire looking like he was getting back to his best, which with him being Anderson lasted about 2 and a half games. I think it was the season we beat Arsenal 8-2.
That was Anderson and Cleverley for about 4 games
Fred
That was Anderson and Cleverley for about 4 games
What a time to be alive.We thought our midfield issues was sorted for the next 8-10 years
The latter unfortunately. He admitted himself he felt he’d made it at United after his first (excellent) season and let himself go and stopped working hard, which naturally he says he regrets now. He got fat and very unfit at the end of his stint here. Shame because if he’d had more professionalism, I’m sure he’d have become one of the best CMs in the World.
To this day I remain baffled how a professional footballer can be so bad at striking a football. He was technically very good, yet as soon as he tried to shoot it all went to shit. Half his shots barely reached the net.
People have short memories. The 2007-08 season was the second best season in the club's history and those 3 all played there part in that season.
Yes their trophy cabinet will say otherwise but you can't deny now that they are retired (Nani near retirement) that their careers could have been so much better. The hype that they came with was tremendous. One of our best transfer windows in the modern era. I thought Anderson and Nani would the future.
metaphor how fast time flies. With small dig into our forever young prodigy learning. He getting new contract instead of selling at right time, we will face another jones and smalling situation
The mistake was buying him. He was just another overhyped Brazilian.
When he played in that free role behind the striker for Porto he was so good.
Well, to be fair, for one game he was
Ferguson tried a number of experiments with certain players and played them in that central midfield position. I always thought that he did this to find the "next Roy Keane" or somebody who could do that sort of job that he did. I would have loved to have seen more of a Fletcher-Anderson midfield with both of them at their peak and injury/sickness-free.
He had a very sought upon set of attributes such as balance, strength, acceleration, technique and plenty of flair. Was lacking in finishing and obviously needed work in the tactical side of the game but never to put him on the leash limiting his attacking game.
They only thing the fat feck could finish was his dinner along with the rest of the teams. Pushing someone deeper because they can't shoot the ball for shit is hardly weird.
Rashford who has scored every penalty bar one which narrowly hit the post. Who last season stepped up and calmly slotted home a penalty in the biggest game of the season in the dying minutes of the greatest comeback in the season. Yea, I'd trust him.
Ignorant comment.
This just seems like the natural progression of Anderson's life honestly
