Im talking about when we bought Anderson, at that point in time before he made an appearance for us, are your comments still in relation to that or? [Before I reply]
Anderson | 2013/14 Performances (on loan at Fiorentina)
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

He never showed any shooting ability at all at United. Yes, there were a few clips around of some good shots by him in his previous career, but a lot of players get a few of those. According to Wikipedia he scored 6 in 19 for Gremio, and then 2 in 18 at Porto. Hardly spectacular. We didn't do anything to Anderson, he was just never that good.
That's a good start. Well done, Moyes.
Anderson more than had his chance, and unfortunately never took it.
He did definitely has his up's in the club though. As others have mentioned how can we forget that penalty, or having a MOM performance against Schalke in the CL.
Injuries probably did their damage and he never fully recovered from it, let's hope a fresh start for him will help reveal his true ability consistently.
And oh that mean's the 8 is now free

I know and I explained why I think that was in regards to how he was instructed to play.
Im talking about the games I actually watched of him, not Youtube videos, but the format is irrelevant. I never claimed it was 'spectacular', I merely went against you saying 'he has the worst shot in football', to which you've clearly proved yourself wrong.
No, he was never the finished player but did look to have potential, I am not saying this is the sole reason, this for me was the first that inspired a lot of the others, rightly or wrongly.
He's a nice fella, I'm sure, but I'm delighted he's gone if true. He's been a waste of space for far too long.
He was an attacking midfielder before we signed him.
I see your point. I suppose I just don't think he was ever going to apply himself in that fashion. It's odd that Fergie persisted with him for so long, because I think it was obvious long ago that he doesn't have that mentality. And he'll never develop it, it's just how he is.
Disgrace is a step too far for me, but yes he was never a very good professional. Which is frustrating, because he could be a much better player if he got his act together. I just don't think he ever will, so there's not much purpose in being frustrated about something that was never going to change.
I am also glad he's gone, because we've reached a stage where the luxury of keeping a guy like Anderson around is no longer afforded to us.
He attacked the space, that is for sure.
Anderson 8
and that was his biggest problem.
Good luck big boy.

So, when will it be confirmed he's gone? Or is this a certain confirmation that's he's gone?
Obviously I was using hyperbole, he's not literally the worst shot in football. What he is is a supposedly technically skilled central (or attacking) midfielder playing for Manchester United with 5 goals in 104 appearances. It took him two seasons to score his first goal.
We're just waiting for confirmation on our new midfield signing before confirming Anderson's exit.
Is that a polite way of saying he ate a lot of doughnuts?
I still remember being so excited watching the youtube videos of his time at Porto, I made him out to be the next Ronaldinho!
Huge talent, though. Just never came together.
He was a pretty great 18 year old for us too. Shame he couldn't build on the early promise.
after. the standard in Brazil isnt anything to write home about, the defending is mad so the fact that he can score 6 there is irrelevant really.
He scored, what, 1 or 2 for Porto?
all that aside, he never showed anything at United to suggest he should play as a number 10 ahead of the likes of Rooney

I didn't think I was going to end up being a muppet this time around. Don't tempt me KC.
Fixed
I'm unsure. Boss never did explain what it meant.
Only midfielder i know that has bodied Fabregas, Gerrard and Remieres. Same he couldn't quite get it alltogether. Hope he takes the Viola by storm.
Italy will probably suit him, I reckon. Plenty of time and space on the ball, his explosiveness could be quite effective over there, like Kaká.
Sad it didn't work out - he was good to watch when he was on-form.
And, I'll miss his instagram pics.
Good luck to him.
Frees up a space (or two) in the squad.

He he he. Good luck, for a complete flop he's found himself a decent club. To think we thought we had signed the new Ronaldinho...based on YouTube clip. Oh well.
Perhaps him getting fat and lacking stamina comes from injuries? We will never know and I tend to give United players the benefit of the doubt rightly or wrongly.

Sky finally reporting it as well.
Loan or permanent?
7, 8, 9 shirts free next season. 11 probably too.

And Kagawa #10 should that happen, still think he can be a star here.Maybe even 10
Adnan should get 7.
Give Phil Jones every other number, nobody else could do them justice like him.
That glorious summer of 2007, when we were all jumping on the Cafe (I was lurking), seems so long ago now. The Titanic hit an iceberg, Concorde crashed, Jim Carrey got old, and United's dreams of world domination crumbled into dust. Nani is the sole survivor, and I think he's not long for this world.
Jones should just have GOD at the back of his shirt.
Here's hoping for a similar summer this year, it's necessary now.
And SEX at the front, am'i'rite ?
I'm talking about Jones, not you Cina.
Only difference is in 2007 we bought and added players to an already amazing team.
