Anderson is a top player when he plays

Any plan that relies on Anderson is foolish in my view. His time at United has shown that he cannot be depended upon. We've seen no proof whatsoever of him being a top player.

A few flat track bully performances against cannon fodder teams and bit of dancing when he's (rarely) scored don't make a player.

I neither rate him nor trust him. Lest we forget, he was signed for big money too. To top it all off, I think that he's usually fat and out of shape. I'd strongly question his professionalism and work ethic, both on the pitch and off it.

I'm not just judging him on 4 or 5 good games. Look beyond that. Over the course of the season his impact was minimal. He's meant to be a senior member of the squad. He has no leadership qualities. He's lazy and i'm fed up with him.

Join the club, 5 seasons of failure and sick notes. I posted in here before the end of the season, that if Anderson is not shipped out this summer? Then SAF must have lost the plot and/or have early dementia setting. There's still hope yet, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anderson will turn out to be good I just don't think he'll get the run in the team.

Jesus christ. This is not appropriate. Have some respect not only for SAF but for the elderly.

fergie is andersons biggest supporter at OT.

Coaches think he is lazy and not serious enough/focused enough on fulfilling his potential.

This has to be his last chance.

At the moment, even with everything considered, he could second choice after Carrick with everybody (exc Fletch) available.

Nothing new.

Just repeats articles from today that Wenger is adamant he wants RVP to stay and the players he bought have been to strengthen the squad, not replace Van Perise.

Also one line in the corner mentions how there is interest from United in Moutinho, but nothing is said about it, probably just speculation.

moutinho would be a very interesting signing!

Del Piero on a free? the new Larsson!!

billyhead

Is that Fergie picture photo shopped I wonder? Sure he could be doing anything in London. Medical appointment, business meetings, drug dealing;). I doubt its anything to do with a potential RVP deal

Jame Gumb

Again, why would Fergie be involved at this stage of the transfer?

His presence is likely to make Arsenal
LESS likely to deal with us and I reckon Fergie only gets involved when a player needs to be "persuaded" to join the club or to give David Gill a steer on whether a player constitutes "value" or not.

Sightings of David Gill in London would be more relevant in my view.

It was an lma managers get together in london today. They showed all the managers arriving on ssn earlier.

Xabi Alonso supposedly stalling on signing a contract extension and rumoured to be attracting interest from England.

Now he'd strengthen our midfield...

Highest rated by who? The deaf dumb and blind association?

Anderson had 4-5 slightly above average performances at the start of last season, no more than that.

While that comment was absolutely hilarious, I thought I should say it was the ratings from the stats page of Barclay's Premier League official website, going on match ratings.

Didnt kagawa say that fergie was highly involved in his transfer? Also fergie spoke directly with crewe director for powell and i remember it was him that agreed the fee for cantona onnthe phone for leeds chairman.

Also, read keanes book...fergie played pool with him and managed to persuade him to leave his blackburn agreement. dont underestimate the role of fergie in these things, considering most united players are not money driven (if not all) id say people dontngive two f*cks about david gill.

My point is that it's common knowledge that Van Persie's preference is to join United.

The transfers you're referring to needed a bit of Fergie gold dust to persuade the players to join.

With RVP it's a matter of getting Arsenal to deal with United...more a role for David Gill in my view.

You have to feel a bit sorry for Wenger in these situations. No matter what happens he loses.

Best possible case scenario is he manages to flog RVP to a foreign club.

Not just Wenger really. Any manager faced with a situation like this. Players can have an incredible amount of power when their contracts are near running out.

As I am sure you are aware when Madrid come calling there is not whole lot that can be done to keep the player, especially him being Spanish & all they could offer him. Great player though, one of the best

Entirely his own fault to be honest. he sold nasri, fabregas and a whole lot more and replaced with the likes of Jenkinson, Diaby and Walcott. Its a fergie style stubbornness that has seen alot of people lose respect for him. apart from this i think he is a great manager but his refusal to reinvest the money properly has cost him over the past 6 years.

Oh I know that but he has shown over the past few years that he really likes Liverpool. If anyone deserved a serious wage increase to be kept at a club then it was him. Anything just to keep him there.

Trying to find someone of his quality is a very costly exercise these days, as ye have found out in recent years (DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to get a dig in there, I'm being serious ).

Anyway ye made a profit of £20 million on him so at least ye got something out of it all.

I think he had no choice in this matter. The club was paying off the debt caused by the stadium build. Hence project youth. It's only now that he is able to spend at a level closer to his main rivals. And as you can see, the purse strings seem to have been loosened somewhat.

He undoubtably does have a stubborn streak as you say, but as with Fergie, this is what makes him such an incredible manager as well as causing occasional failures.
