Well personally I'm not in the boat that he's looked like a great player at times when fit, I don't think he's ever looked particularly great, he's certainly put in a few very good performances here and there but never really any that made me sit back and go "shit, that lads going to be one of the best midfielders around if he stays fit".
I think that's my problem, for all the hype, I've never seen enough from him to suggest he'd become this superstar player we all thought we signed. Messi for (an extreme) example, got a lot of injuries when he was younger, but when he was fit you could tell he was going to be unbelievable, likewise Van Persie. Have we ever really seen enough from Anderson to think he was going to become a great player? I haven't.
