Indeed, I'm talking strictly in terms of numbers when I talk about fewer options in that area. Injuries to like 8 central-midfield and "can do a job there" players then at least we'd still have Anderson

The guy is on loan. He will most likely be back with us in the summer.
Any update on this?Hang on, Fiorentina are actually giving us money for Anderson?
Good luck to the lad.
I for one, will wish him the best. Some of the reactions from fans sounds like the furthest thing from United fans. I guess it's the modern fan though.
Ando 
Wonder if they'll play him off the striker, since they have so many options already in midfield in the likes of Pizarro, Borja Valero, Aquilani, Ambrosini and Fernandez.
Joaquin and Cuadrado have often played out of position on the left wing this season, so he could be used there as well.

6.5m Euros and he is only 25. What a flop considering what we paid for him them and what we just paid for Fellaini.
Farewell Ando, I really should hate you for failing to live up to your potential and being a fat lazy git but you are just too loveable.
watching the Inter game at the minute....
shite quality and with the low pace of the game i think Ando will do good

Italian league is shit!!! The Milan Derby I watched the other day was entertaining but at the same time comical... What has happened to that league. I think Ando will do good too.
without exaggeration this game is like something from the Championship
watched the highlights of the Sassulo and Milan game - ridiculous defending
The confectionery lady at OT will weep bitter tears.Ando
I'm sorry to see him go myself. He carries with him my youthful hopes and dreams.
Bon voyage you crazy man
It might not work out in Fiorentina for him, so they decide not to take the deal up permanently at the end of the loan.
We got £5.5m, with about £3.5m up front with the rest in add ons.
He's big!
He's round!
He's cost us millions of pounds!
Anderson!

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't take up the options to make it a permanent transfer. To put this into context, we paid €30m (£20m at the time) for him when we bought him. Flop doesn't begin to cover how much of a shit transfer he's been.
Wonder what Fergie thinks, after all his years of patience Moyes get rid of him in his second transfer window
Does seem slightly odd we're letting a midfielder go in our current state but if Moyes is intent on getting rid of the deadwood before buying Anderson aint a bad place to start. Nani next please

Ferguson had a serious soft spot for Anderson, has nothing but good things to say about him in his book. Really was a strange relationship come to think of it.Wonder what Fergie thinks, after all his years of patience Moyes get rid of him in his second transfer window

When looking at what we paid and what we hoped for, yes it was a 'flop'.
But I think he deserves a little respect, played his part as a squad player, it's just a shame we had our hopes so high.

I just hope he hasn't got a taste for Pasta or when he returns to Old Trafford he could be a 'massive' signing
Goodbye Anderson, always better than kleberson!
Pasta is a very healthy dish, better than beef.
Doesn't matter how healthy it is, when it comes in the portions Ando eats.
United have Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher Fellaini, Jones and Cleverley, so United should cope till this and next summer's transfer window. That's 6 payers who are ahead of him for 2 or 3 positions. If it is not wise to get rid of him now, then god help us.
Hope he sits on their bench until the end of the season.
Why?
Theres no way he will pass a medical?
Seeing as this will be Moyes first sale... If we approach this as Moyes replaced Anderson with Fellaini, the big hairy feck doesn't look as bad a signing I suppose. Certainly an upgrade.
Shame he couldn't get it together here. He had some talent and a nice face.
I really thought he'd turned a corner in 2011. He was generally excellent for a good year there. The less said about the time since then the better.
I'll always love the fat bastard.
I'll always love the fat bastard.
Hopefully an upgrade but Anderson has far more talent than Fellaini. Fellaini will need a lot of luck to make it at United.
Why? That does him, us and them no good whatsoever. ridiculous statement.
Yeah, the thing was that fergie never used him as first choice for an extended period of time because he'd always get injured once he picked up form. At the start of last season up until he got injured vs reading he was excellent as well. Since that injury he's basically been done though.
Wonder how much the two leg breaks has had on his career. Did well to get back from them but it looks like it probably played a part in other injuries.
Good post. He's seemingly a throughly good lad and he has mine, and hopefully everybody else's, best wishes. I think he'll be great in Italy. As always, it's fitness dependant. I expect some extreme revisionism over the next few days, but the reality is that when he has played over the past two seasons, more often than not he's been good. This season has been a write off, obviously.
