Imagine Moyes asking for 20 something million for Fellaini.Imagine a manager going to his chairman and asking for £8m quid to buy Anderson.

I'll wager that Fellaini turns out to be at least three times the player for us that Anderson has, so it might not be that far off the mark.

I'm not saying Fellaini will be a bad signing. Just that 25m for Fellaini is about the same as asking for 8m for Anderson. Especially that if Anderson found the right club in the right country, he could be very useful for that club.I'll wager that Fellaini turns out to be at least three times the player for us that Anderson has, so it might not be that far off the mark.

Agreed with the first point however saying he will stay fit is just a guess. You can never predict the future in regards to injury and health.Well, I'm not a Fellaini fan at all. I wouldn't have bought him. But he's a decent player and he'll stay fit most of the time, so we'll get decent service out of him.
As for Anderson, he might well go on to another club and do well. It wouldn't stop me letting him go, though. He's going to go down as an enormous waste of money, for reasons already done to death on here.

The point on Anderson being a waste of money is fair but I will always jump to his defence. Yes, he was a big money signing (well kind of big) but I think our expecation and hope has clouded many opinions about him. As a squad player, I feel he has contributed quite well during his time and played a role. Ok, he didn't turn out how we wanted and for that money, of course we would have wanted that but forgetting the money and looking at what he has done, he has been a good squad player. Every club needs good squad players.
Fair point. However, I have always found some of the stick to be over the top and fitness issues aside always thought he has been decent. Not for the price we paid and what I hoped for but I can live with the signing.Personally I think he's been a pretty shite squad player for us. Half of the time he's not available, or not fit enough to start, and when he does play you have no idea what you're going to get from him. He's clearly very talented but without consistency it means nothing.

So, according to the rumour mill this morning... we're looking to get rid for around £8 million.
Which of course begs the question... who the hell is going to offer £8million for Anderson?!
Fingers crossed QPR get promoted, or Roy Keane gets a job at a PL club.
If we get £8m for him I'd gift wrap him myself.
He's a really puzzling player. He's talented but seemingly very unfit most of the time. It begs the question, why would a team (especially one as big as United - it's not like he's irreplaceable) put up with a player who can't maintain their fitness. I really don't understand it.
We wont be for long.
Seems that way but it's taken a long time for the penny to drop. I actually quite like him and think it's a shame but it's just not acceptable if he can't stay fit. It's surely due to injuries. I can't imagine it's due to eating too much and generally being lazy - he couldn't be that unprofessional and still be around ?

I thought that until you see the players taking the piss out of him on Rio's Tour Diary when most of the others are sleeping and he's up munching crisps.
I still have hope he can contribute going forward though. Looked in better shape than he has previously in last weeks U21s game.

I haven't really noticed, is Moyesy giving Fred the Red the same sort of high five handshake Fergie used to, or is that not his sort of thing?
In Fergie's book his brother Martin (chief scout) went to watch Anderson for a month and came back saying he is better than Wayne.....
It's a shame it ended up like this but we can't be doing with any hangers on.
Arruda says he was among the best young talent he's seen at porto. just a shame how it well really.

I think his exact words were "He could be bigger than Wayne". Fergie heard what he wanted to.
