Everyone jumps the gun if I mention his name among them and say he's a world class player and you aren't a true fan if you don't like him so I figured I'd leave that for another thread

As Anderson said anything different than what as been discussed on this forum.
Anderson has publicly denied the interview from yesterday saying that he would never say any such thing to a club that he loves like a supporter. It was a false interview!
Perhaps shame on you supporters who never gave him a chance? Reading some of the comments is almost painful!

I love how folks have shamed themselves over those phantom comments..
They turned on him so quickly, amazing.
Are you amazed? I'm not
Yep absolutely ridiculous. Even if he did say them, what the hell was so bad? That after 8 years at Manchester it was time for a change and probably for Nani too? Whoopy doo, so many people jumping on him for the sake of jumping on him.
Hahahaha so what if it was true???
Nowt wrong with any of the comments made

How many will come back and say, "sorry, my bad"...?
As mentioned the comments werent that bad. Its his performances which were offensive
Why would anyone apologise? People generally pointed out what a poor player he is. Unfortunately, that is fact.
My words were, for which I have no regret, dickhead comments, and they were; if he didn't use them then clearly it wasn't his dickhead comments.
Not sure why some are so precious, it's great that he loves our club and he'll probably return due to the fact he's a championship (at best) level footballer.

If loving the club but not being a very good player is all that matters you wonder how Fletcher got such vitriolic comments about him when he first started playing for us
There's a load of silly pricks on this forum who are desperate for any justification to hate our players who dare underperform even slightly (or have a bad half, in certain cases). Tom Cleverley thinks he's David Beckham, don't you know?
*Thinks to self*
I love the club? Check
Not a very good footballer? Check
So why do they love him and not me?
I agree, how quickly he has been turned upon, especially as it seems now the comments were bollocks anyway. Some people need to make apologies...
I'm surprised people even thought Ando would say something like that... he's probably the least controversial person in the squad.
From that translation, it suggests that it is him who wanted a change i.e. loan move, not anyone else.
Welbeck is world classEveryone jumps the gun if I mention his name among them and say he's a world class player and you aren't a true fan if you don't like him so I figured I'd leave that for another thread
No wonder why we're in this sorry state
Ha! With a wench like his I wouldn't blame him if it were true...
That's natural anywhere. Players are under performing and "getting away with it" I got ridiculously tired of seeing Anderson waddle round the pitch looking like he wasn't arsed. It was painful and he clearly wasn't United standard. I'd argue the more "silly pricks" as you eloquently put it are the ones who insist on him staying because he's "funny" I'm sure if you offered to pay Jimmy Carr or Jason Manford 80k a week for 7 years they'd be funny as well, might even put a few performances in to match players like Anderson. I don't get this whole thing where we're not meant to criticize players. It's a reality shock and a bit depressing to think of some of the midfielders there's been at United and then we're stuck watching people like Anderson.
he did make the comments, unless this translator is lying:

The quotes are the exact same in the interview in fairness.
The Cleverley stuff you mention to whilst off topic somewhat was ill advised, set yourself up for a fall by trying to make yourself a "brand" when you've played twice for Man Utd.
Brilliant post mate.
Is it really though? He's just taken us full circle by posting the same shite that started this off a few pages back, and was subsequently found to be embellished... It'll pop up again under another guise in a few pages...
From the translation he says that lots of people want to leave for change, like Anderson and Nani not too dissimilar to the previous translation. The "exodus" title or whatever was just from whoever posted the article.
Anderson says he didnt make the interview. But he also says hes a footballer, so we cant believe him all the time

Left wing was his original position before he joined United, wasn't it? Isn't that why he was being lauded as the "next Ronaldinho" ?
AMC/LW if anything
Anderson was in one of the three positions in front of 2 CMs in a 4-2-3-1. In the hole was where he was being talked about as a superstar. At Porto he managed 2 goals in 18 appearances which was a sign of things to come unfortunately and one of the main reasons he wouldnt become that type of player. Still as a very young player and having had a bad injury we decided to meet his buyout clause.
Doesn't matter a bollix to me what he said or didn't say, he's hardly worth getting worked up over like a few lads on here seem to be.
It's all because of haircut.*Thinks to self*

Sentences are your friend
Warning, warning: another Liam on the board.
So who made up the fake interview then
It's the FF here, time and place.. you are boring.
From what I can tell it isn't that straight forward, I don't think his quotes were far wide of what's being reported according to Ogg above.So who made up the fake interview then
Yeah true but I feel he makes some valid points. Especially in respect of the post he was replying to.
It was a good post because it provides evidence that he did indeed have the interview in question and a more accurate translation shows his comments were very similar to what was originally posted. Andersons claims not to have had the interview were most likely in relation to the specific wording used. The crux of it is either way he pretty much said lots of players want to leave us after being at the club for about 7 years and while United are great and they do everything you would want them to do, its nice to get away and try a different kind of football. For a foreign player thats often the thinking, that you stay for many years and then you leave to try something different and its not a real surprise that he would suggest it. The only problem is how important those current players might be to us and whether we can convince them to want to stick around. Anderson is a non-factor, Vidic is still very useful but he doesnt have much time left, Evra is well past time, Valencia wanting to try a new kind of football is something we've all been hoping to hear for years, Nani whilst talented and we've seen what he can do on form is not as important now we have Januzaj who dribbles a not significant amount less and Mata for the creativity we'd miss. So all in all even if Anderson is spot on its not like our foreign lads who have been there a long time arent replaceable. We're getting to that point where we're replacing them whether they want to stick around or not.
So after initially having 2 starts for Fiorentina and being dismal, he was on the bench and took no part in todays match against Inter.
Doesn't surprise me.
If only we were as wise so soon... Well at least sooner because he did show a lot of promise.
