Suffice to say we should stay clear of Brazilians

We should only sign Frenchies, they always work out.

Anderson would walk into this team for what it's worth.

Anderson was ok to be fair. Fred has a way to go match him.

We’ve got some good memories with Anderson. Put Pereira in here though. Still not some what people were rubbing one out over during preseason.

Anderson when fit and in form was a class above our team bar Pogba. Close this shit of a thread though.

To be fair the main problem in midfield was Scott McTomidinho.

At least Fred and Pereira have some ability on the ball. Mctominay is meant to be there to give them the platform to play and yet he had the least presence of the three. I'm still not sure what he is supposed to be.

We're now just picking him because mourinho picked him, and no one really knows why mourinho picked him.

Fred has at the very least looked neat and tidy. We still haven’t seen enough of him to say he isn’t up to it.

In as much as I like giving McTominay the stick Fred's bad display had nothing to do with McT, Fred is just awful

I think I watched the wrong game but Fred's game is far from neat and tidy, this guy has one of the worst first touches I've seen in a midfielder and he loses possession for fun

Veron - expensive flop
Heinze - solid then tried to push through a move to Liverpool of all teams
Tevez - less said about that cretin the better
Di Maria - gave nothing, flopped.

Wouldn't call Rojo a success and this is his 5th season..

Any I missed?

With Argies our issue has been more about attitude rather than quality.
Perhaps, but for one reason or another, it's not worked out. I'd say we have better success with Brazilian players then we have with Argies, overall.

Forlan is Uruguay :lol: For a long time, my first thought was always that he is Argie as well for some reason.

Probably not the best example!

Brazilians and Argies haven't worked that well for us to be fair.

Forlan was a bit unlucky, his quality was starting to emerge but RVN was there and we used to play with 1 striker so it was tough.

Yeah, the fact that Tevez, Heinze and to a degree, Rojo have all contributed heavily when they played. How many Brazillians have?

Brazilians aren't s race, it's a nationality. There are different races in Brazil.

So OP dismissed an entire nation, rather than race.
Race just refers to a group of people. It can be based on their ethnicity or their social group.
