He's nothing special.Do you think he is?

For someone so relatively inexperienced he has quite an impressive footballing brain, I think.He's nothing special.
That's right, ask GlastonSpur who is well renowned for his unbiased attitude towards football a question about who is better an United youngster or a Spurs youngster.Glaston, who is better right now, Anderson or Modric?
We are all biased towards Anderson, except me.That's right, ask GlastonSpur who is well renowned for his unbiased attitude towards football a question about who is better an United youngster or a Spurs youngster.
Yes you are, you are biased against Anderson.We are all biased towards Anderson, except me.
Agree with this. I think hes a top talent. His first touch and passing is Scholesque. His vision is also top notch. But hes not fulfilling his potential right now, dont see it happening at spurs.For someone so relatively inexperienced he has quite an impressive footballing brain, I think.
One of those players that do things other players don't even see.
He's nothing special now, and he might never be, but he does have the potential to.
What have you got against Modric by the way? I can't believe I am defending a Croat this much!!!Nani's hit and miss. Modric is just. . . well. . .er. . . miss.
What about when Modric made Lampard and Gerrard look ten times their value in shite against England?Anderson looked like ten times the player when he came on, yesterday.
The same could be said for Dwight Yorke, Andreas Ivanschitz, Szabolcs Huszti, etc. It's hardly a benchmark.What about when Modric made Lampard and Gerrard look ten times their value in shite against England?
True enoughThe same could be said for Dwight Yorke, Andreas Ivanschitz, Szabolcs Huszti, etc. It's hardly a benchmark.
I agree with you, he would provide quality to our midfield which clearly lacks it. I would field him in midfield in a line of three rather than in the Stankovic role though. I think he would do well in the serie A since the pace is slower.You guys should sign him, may be decent in the Stankovic role.
AgreedGuys, like I said before - Judge him next year. He has only recently started to get himself more involved in games.. It's clear he is a talent on the international level and we should see the better of him next year.
If we are to bid for a Spurs player, I'd like it to be Heurelho Gomes. He proved in the Carling Cup Final that he is one of the leagues best goalkeepers, and I think he could be the perfect successor to Van der Sar. Probably wont cost too much as wellLets just put in a bid for him. I have missed Mr. Levy

I haven't really seen enough of Anderson playing to justify my having a clear opinion on this. All I know is that any Caftards who claim Modric is average (or worse) are wide of the mark. I think he's a class player who has generally gotten better and better as the season has developed and he adapts to the Prem.Glaston, who is better right now, Anderson or Modric?
Fair points made there manI haven't really seen enough of Anderson playing to justify my having a clear opinion on this.

Yep, pretty much how I'd see it.I haven't really seen enough of Anderson playing to justify my having a clear opinion on this.

I guess so, but I haven't seen him playing in United matches anything like as often as you so I don't have that much to go on.Yep, pretty much how I'd see it.
Have you not seen enough of Anderson to at least say the same?
Who cares?Don't you wish he would cut out all that crap too?
Modric shouldn't be passing comment but he is correct.
What for saying what is blatantly obvious, wouldn't you like Ronaldo more if he was more dignified? His petulance detracts from his play and his reputation. And as Modric says he doesn't need to do it and it's pointless. Ronaldo could do that stuff and get away with it in spain, portugal, italy etc but it isn't expected in England.Who cares?
Seems like you're just winding people up for the sake of it now Frank.
No, I wouldn't care in the slightest. I don't care if he's petulant, I don't care if any player does that, I'll look past it.What for saying what is blatantly obvious, wouldn't you like Ronaldo more if he was more dignified?

If you enjoy Ronaldos acts of petulance and theatrics then that's your perogative, personally i don't like it and agree that he's doing no-one any favours with that sort of behaviour. All it does is turn people against him.
Fair enough, you'll turn a blind eye to any players actions or behaviour. As i said that is your perogative but for me i don't have to like it and wont pretend i do.No, I wouldn't care in the slightest. I don't care if he's petulant, I don't care if any player does that, I'll look past it.
You don't like it because you don't like him.
More arsenal for your anti Ronaldo rhetoric. I get it, you don't like the man. But what exactly did Ronaldo do in that game or thereafter to merit the comment from Modric? Modric is needlessly jumping on the bandwagon, as a player one shouldn't criticize others especially when they themselves are occasionally guilty of the same crimes as the ones they criticize.What for saying what is blatantly obvious, wouldn't you like Ronaldo more if he was more dignified?

I did say in my first post that he shouldn't be commenting. Brwned doesn't care about petulance or cheating in football which is fine that is his opinion on it. Just because you support United doesn't mean you have to like a players behavior 24/7 even if he is the best player in the world.More arsenal for your anti Ronaldo rhetoric.

Incidentally if Modric was so righteous and knew the way things are done in England, wouldn't he have criticized fellow Spurs players for diving and waving imaginary cards in the air?
He maybe a decent footballer BUT Modric is as guilty as the person he is chastising
Really?Fair enough, you'll turn a blind eye to any players actions or behaviour. As i said that is your perogative but for me i don't have to like it and wont pretend i do.
For example Carrick dived against Inter Milan, whilst he isn't thought of as a diver i wasn't going to turn a blind eye to it, it disgusted me. Theatrics, cheating and diving all disgust me. Petulance, waving imaginary cards etc are all things that detract IMO from the game of football being played. All it does is piss me off when watching the game.
I don't look past it, i deride any player who goes to ground easily or dives, cheats etc. You see quality football which i like and the theatrics are definetely worse but the Prem isn't exactly not guilty with stevie hypocrit starfish, Joe Cole, even Rooney has done some awful attempts at diving and Carrick now. Ronaldo is certainly the worst and could be having an influence on the players around him in that regard.Really?
But being such a big fan of La Liga I can't see how you can't just look past it now, with how often it happens.
hardly anyone pays attention to what you say, except for chuckles.So... I told you he was the bollocks.
