He's a fat loveable sod. Wish him the best. Sad that he couldn't quite make it here.
Goodbye you fat, unfit, lazy, ruined potential, overpriced, overrated waste of space. I won't miss you.
Give us a chance - I've only just logged-in.
This.
He's a likeable guy but I'm pissed off at him for showing a complete lack of effort to get himself fit. I know players are different but compare that attitude with someone like Darren Fletcher who is looking more fit than Anderson ever did inspite of coming back from a serious disease.
One of Fergie's biggest failures IMO.
He looks fitter than ever.
I posted this earlier in this thread:
If I understand that graphic correctly, he's actually completed 49 matches during his time here, which looks a lot better than the 19 the article state, but it's still only 39%.
The thing that stands out to me there is how much more football he played in the first half of each season, but couldn't keep it going in the second half..
He seem slike a nce fella, Shame that it didn't click for him at United. Hope he has better luck in Italy.
Good luck to him. The insults and cheap shots are things I don't like when a player leaves.
He's never really looked like a real fatty, just that his stamina levels were not good enough. He hasn't been a player who knows how to manage his efforts too. A lot of pointless runs in the first half would always deplete his energy for the second.

I've been insulting him for three years, this has nothing to do with him leaving

One could appreciate your consistency I suppose.
Sounds like a permanent deal from the way he said 'he's off to sign for Fiorentina'?
Sad to see him go - he came with such high hopes.
Even to the end, I found him an exciting presence on the pitch. Somehow, despite the disappointments, there was always the prospect, or dream, that today would be his day to cast off the shackles, and fulfill the promise of his obvious talent and those early youtube vids, to give a spectacular display. Of course it never happened, and hope faded with the years.

Sad it's finally real but, at the same time maybe a tiny hope that spot on the team will be filled with a buy in this window ... tiny tiny tiny hope
Wish him all the best and if he ever makes a return to OT as an oppo I'd like to see him get a decent reaction. Likeable player but probably should have gone a few seasons back.
Hope MUTV hire him when he retires.
Curious to know if its true that utd preferred a loan than a sale. I thought it would have been fiorentinas preference. If utd wanted a loan, would ppl be happy to take him back should he have a successful loan?
Best of luck to home. I'd love him to play well, and find some from. Who knows what would happen if he has a good loan in Italy. Kind of get the feeling this loan move will go belly up though (no pun intended).
But he'd have to learn English.
If Fiorentia can sign a midfielder in January, why can't we?
Like feck he would. All he'd need to do is run around doing silly dances and generally goofing about, while shouting "feck feck feck?".
Recall Ando?
Neither is it his fault that Fergei tried to turn him into something he wasn't.
Not saying he would have made it if played further forward, or that he's made the most of the chances he has had, mind.
Anyway, good luck to him, unless they're playing us!
It is, but it seems to be a lot stricter in the UK. Haven't South American players often been sent ot play in Belgium / Portugal etc while they get sorted out?
Black is a slimming colour.
I wouldn't.
2007-2014, He's made barely 100 appearances for us in that time and in those appearances, there is a small handful of promising moments. We're lucky to be finally rid of him.
I did a thread here, not long ago on work permits and we had a few people answer it in more depth...
Here...https://www.redcafe.net/threads/work-permits.380683/
Anderson leaves Man Utd with 4 premier league trophies, 2 league cups, 1 Champions League, 3 Champions League finals, 1 Club World Cup.
Loved his song. Shame it didn't work out cos he had real potential.
Ye it's sad he never fulfilled potential but he had chances even when supposedly uninjured and was blowing out of his arse after 60 minutes one time and he had to be taken off before he actually died, that was the moment I gave up. Ok you've been injured and out of action, your not match fit but for fecks sake at least get yourself fit enough to play the sport your paid to.
Gave us some great moments here and there but simply glad now that the door is open for us to get some new blood into the side.
Farewell chunks.

There's this too...I can't help but feel he was - at least partly - a casualty in that sense. Fergie had his own ideas about the middle of the park, nae doobt bout that. Ando came to us as an attacking midfielder, probably most suited to a different game plan than Fergie used most times. There were always features of his game that fit in well enough with the idea of a box-to-box player of sorts, but he lacked other features and he never looked like a natural (or even naturalized) fit in that role.
I'm sure he'll be well received if he ever comes back to Old Trafford as part of the opposition. He was always well liked, after all.
If thats not just a old random pic then it could be announced late today/tomorrow.
I can't explain why but I like him still. He has clearly failed here but I still got happy when I saw him on the team sheet, thinking this'll be his chance and he'll finally realise his potential. Never really happened
I find the liking of him particularly strange, given the vitriol and scapegoating of less talented but much more hard-working, motivated and disciplined players like Cleverley and Young.
It's amusing to imagine how different the comments on here would be if he had a much more unlikeable personality.

Not sure if someone posted the stat already but he played 19 full games for Man United. Nineteen.
And there was his problem. Always felt if he could get fit and get over injury problems he could've easily done a job for us in midfield, if not quite being the answer to our problems.

Injury and fitness didnt help but his main problem was not being a convincing central midfielder at our level.
This idea he was an attacking midfielder baffles me. He lacked subtlety in his passing and couldn't finish. A likeable chap with a funny face but not much else to him.
So is he really gone then?
Yeah he really knew how to overhit a pass
Good Luck Anderson - still surprised he lasted as long as he did
