Lol YouTube. He's a lot better than Young.
Nothing to lol about. Youtube is supposed to showcase his best moments. All he has going for him is that he's rapid. He's a quicker Memphis and will be naother waste of 30m
He is basically Nani part two isn't he?
Makes you wonder why we didn't just keep Nani

When we signed Martial, there was very little on YouTube about him. I've seen Lazio play regularly and I'm telling you his dribbling is better than Young's
So you're telling me, he's a very dribbler but somehow the dozens of videos on youtube all ignore this quality? A good dribbler is someone who can repeatedly beat full backs from standing positions. 95% of Anderson's dribbling ability is running onto a ball and using his pace which is all well and good for a crap team but not when you spend as much time with possession as we do. Young can do this to some extent, Martial is brilliant at it as was Nani.
Van Gaal is seriously wasting United's money. After all this investment our defence still looks rubbish without Smalling, our misfield devoid of creativity and we are depending on a 20 year old and Ashley Young in attack. Our plan B is hoofing balls up to Fellaini. Criminal.
I'm not advocating we buy him. You said from what you saw on YouTube his dribbling isn't as good as Young's. I'm just saying that haven watched him quite regularly in the past 12 months, his dribbling is definitely better than Ashley Young.
Isn't he another one who can get rather out of shape? Seems it's a Brazilian thing and ex Everton.
and he's played most of the season in defense
LVG has done a hatchet job with our attacking options.Pretty sure we signed Ando for 18m? the 30m was the combined figure for both Ando and Nani.
We need players who can hit the ground running don't think this guy is one of them.
Mane would be perfect. But Southampton aren't under any finical pressure and they have made it clear they will reject any bids in January.
£17m for Nani, £14m for Anderson IIRC. The figures have been conveniently changed by journalists over the years by using the less favourable exchange rates of the time of their articles.
At this point I'd rather spend an audacious amount to try get Manè or Leroy Sane in January than be forced into signing this guy.
Everything I've heard about him screams inconsistency. I don't watch Lazio but I follow them (because of Ravel) and this Anderson has been in and out of a not very good team.
Which, lets be honest, is an incredibly low standard to hold him to because Young's a fairly mediocre dribbler.
Agree with this, really wish we had pushed for him during the summer, looks like he will cost even more now.
Seems the caf hates him but i'll take him.
Hell i'll take anyone.
Hell i'll take anyone.
Cheers, not as bad as people are making out then.
That is the big worry for me. If he is so good why isn't he in that team all the time. I have watched them when he has been on the bench. He was good last season. However for that money I would want as you say a more consistent player.
I would take Ntep, he is a lot cheaper.
Surely we could get Mahrez or Mane for the £33m being asked for this guy.
How has he been this season?
Might just be confirmation bias on my behalf but French/Ligue 1 signings seem to do very well here. Whilst Serie A/Brazilian... Not so much.
He is also good with both feet. But you're correct Young's dribbling ability is decent at best. I feel we need someone of Martial's dribbling ability. Anderson is below that but much better than anyone else in our squad. The problem is I can't see us getting someone with Martial's dribbling ability in January and I think the club is desperate for pace. We won't get top 4 with our current options. I don't think it's possible.
It's out of season, get Usain in. Will be good training for the Olympics.
To be honest he has been injured and not as good as last season. And yes french signings do well because the ligue 1 is a defensive league, which means that in theory the attacking players can match or improve their stats in almost all the other leagues.
We sold Nani and Di Maria and loaned Januzaj in the summer and now we are crying out for a winger that can dribble and create goals... It's ridiculous.
I'll be honest, I haven't seen much of this guy this season, but I'll take him in a heartbeat, he can't be worse than our current options. People say he is inconsistent, but being shit some of the time is still much better than being shit all of the time.

That's the standard IMO. Well find it hard to get someone who has the same level of control at speed as martial does, as that is rare, but we do need dribblers of a high standard rather than kick-and-run, leave-it-largely-to-chance type ones. We have those type of dribblers in Valencia, Young, Lingard and Memphis, none of whole are genuinely natural dribblers.
I've seen the lad play about twice so can't say much regarding his quality, but isn't he another left sided player? We need a bloody right sided winger/inside forward ffs.
We are in a situation where £33m won't move the likes of Leicester or Southampton because every team in the league is loaded with cash. Leicester aren't going to throw away what could be a remarkable season over that kind of figure. The TV deal has changed the landscape of the prem. Clubs aren't going to be forced to sell players mid season.
Sane fits the bill for this, he's like a left footed Martial and while he's young I reckon he'd offer much more in the remaining months of the season than Felipe Anderson.
The only time I saw him, he was on the right and not really impressive, at least not 30m impressive. I think that #10 wouldn't hurt us, so Alex Texeira should be a target.
I like him a lot too. He's got the same combination of power and skill like martial does albeit probably less talented.
My word that was absolute shite. Doesn't even know where the ball is half the time. Bad control, running straight into challenges.
He has the acceleration but marries it to the quick footwork like Martial, that's what we need IMO, players who are good in tight spaces dealing with pressure. What we need more than anything in this window is a goal scorer, but if we are looking to address the RW as well then Sane, Lucas, Mahrez and Mane would all be above Felipe Anderson for me.
Big clubs buy before they sell. What we did in the summer what sell at whatever price and cost to the squad without deciding who was coming in. It's has killed our season.
Felipe Anderson won't be my first or second choice winger but I think we are desperate. If we do a deal it won't be for those figures quoted. I think he's good enough to give us a lift. More importantly he wil give opponents something to worry about and give players like Martial, Mata and co more space. Teams are just crowding around Martial at the minute and were finished.

Sane's agent a few days ago said he's not moving anywhere in January. We have fecked ourselves in regards to our attack.

I disagree. Martial can score goals if given chances so that' sorted. Just pay big money for Mane and Lucas and get it done.
Even if we can't get Sane there's no reason to waste money on Anderson, he's so ordinary even compared to some of the less fancied PL wide men.
Martial has never been prolific, I'm not sure he'll actually turn out to be a #9, more of a 15 goal LWF.
