I haven't seen much of Anderson this season but I did see him last season and I thought he was looking really good. From what I've read this season, he's had issues which have partly stemmed from our failed bid in the summer. I was impressed with his performance against Juventus last season, in particular his battle with Evra, in which we really gave Patrice a tough time. Evra had a really good season and there weren't many other players that he struggled with so much.
He looks to me like he is talented in every aspect of the game that you'd want from an attacker. He's quick, nimble, has good control and technique, good passing, can shoot very well with both feet. There's a lot there to be working with. It'd be like having a second chance with a young Nani in a way, though this time we might get more out of it. Let's not forget that Nani was an incredibly talented player, he just couldn't put it together on a regular basis. If he had then he would have been one of our best players currently.
I'd say that Anderson is as good a shout as the likes of Mane, Mahrez etc. Sane is a bit younger and is probably more of a project for the future. Looking at his stats, he's not actually played much football at all. I'd put them all in the same bracket of 'could go either way', to be honest. Throw in the likes of Brahimi from Porto to the mix also, though he is a bit older than these. With Mahrez and Mane, I'd sort of put them in the 'wait and see' bracket. Too many times we've had players performing like this for smaller teams that don't amount to much in the end. I could quite easily see Mane becoming a bit of a Bolasie type of player in the Premier Leage, an entertainer, but not somebody that one of the top teams will see enough in to take a punt. He could turn out to be better than that, but I doubt he'll ever be a top level player.
I always thought that Draxler was worth a shot, also. Sometimes I think that some players stay at these mid-level teams and stagnate, but as we saw in the case of Douglas Costa, who would have been my ideal signing last year, sometimes it just takes somebody giving them a chance for them to realise their potential. Perhaps the pressure brings out the best in them and forces them to perform, as opposed to some players that thrive as a big fish in a small pond. I could see him playing as a wide man for us in a similar fashion to what Martial has been doing.
