i'm not saying anderson couldn't be united xi standard, fwiw, i think fletcher and he would probably work well enough if the wings and strikers provided the product
Anderson has really been swapped and changed around various roles, probably a large part of why he's not tied down first-team status

yes united need a good pair of midfielders, and quickly. but they also need players who can find & don't bottle the final ball. too many games with loads of possession and no penetration.
― thomasintrouble, Friday, 9 December 2011 13:15 (twelve years ago) link
also would be good to have a big proper centre-forward on the bench to get stuck in when the opposition park the bus and Utd run out of creative options.
― thomasintrouble, Friday, 9 December 2011 13:17 (twelve years ago) link
ie after the first 20 minutes of every game
I've just waded through today's posts and feel like I'd like to join in seeing as we're talking about United, but I can't actually work out what anyone's talking about.

reckon torres will do really well in united
― ken c, Friday, 9 December 2011 14:13 (twelve years ago) link
they could have torres and carroll for just £85m but the glazers are too tightwadded and fergie inexplicably keeps faith in 4m rated rooney.
― SandboxGarda (HI IT'S RONAN), Friday, 9 December 2011 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
It's become a favoured pastime of mine lately to point out to Chelsea fans that the entire Spurs first choice XI cost less than Fernando Torres.

hmm think an in form torres could get a draw.

Schalke won 2-1 at Hertha Berlin tonight. Pukki with a sweet strike for the winner. Huntelaar got the opener, that's 14 goals in 15 league games for him. Hertha had a mini break in the last minute when lasogga stormed through the middle, rode a challenge and was about to enter the box when he was tripped, buuuuut the ref had dropped his whistle and was looking on the ground for it instead of watching play so missed the foul.
― pandemic, Friday, 9 December 2011 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
Does that make Huntelaar top scorer in Germany?

The ex-Spain, Barcelona and Middlesbrough ace was once the most expensive footballer in the world, costing Italian giants Lazio a whopping £29m.
Mendieta became a firm favourite with Boro fans, starring in a famous 4-1 victory over Manchester United, and to this day lives in Yarm on Teesside.

Chelsea have confirmed that André Villas-Boas has asked his players to involve him in goal celebrations.
The Portuguese manager made the request at a recent team meeting and a Chelsea spokesman told the Sun: "The manager has asked the players to look across and recognise him and his staff on the bench after a goal.
"He believes that by celebrating together it shows we are all in it together. That's the players, the manager, the subs, the staff, the medical people – everyone working and celebrating together."

Villas-Boas suggested his team's start to the season – they have taken 28 points from 14 games – had been made to look inadequate by the leaders' excellence. In support of his argument, he produced a laminated chart that compared his side's points tally with those achieved in the past few years."Chelsea, at the moment, have the same points as the champions last year and the same points as the champions three years ago," he said. "And they have two points less than the champions four years ago."

2pts a game is good enough for top 4, not good enough to win the league. AVB should stop frontin'. Also WTF with manager's press conferences turning into powerpoint presentations, first Dalglish with his 'poor lil luiz' dvd, now this. Have some fucking dignity.
