20 teenage footballers who will rule the world. Guess who's at #1,

man, what happened to Bojan?

Being converted into a CM probably didn't help.

Fergies desperation to make a centre mid was depressing.

Anderson
Smith
Rooney.

Just buy Liam Miller again PLS

I honestly don't buy that. To me he just didn't have the desire to improve and adapt. Injuries didn't help ofc but there's minimum levels of performance expected and he never met them after his debut season.

m8 he opened the scoring against spurs just last week.

Not a massive achievement i know...

The lag offline on PES is really annoying. I'm liking it though.

Yeah it was bizarre. I don't know what he was playing at trying to convert rather than buy.

To quote a Porto fan

Anderson was fantastic at Porto. He was quick, he moved well and his dribbling ability and creativity made him a fantastic attacking player. Sadly, Sir Alex Ferguson thought he would work well in another position other than the position he was meant to play (number 10). He gave him a ton of defensive responsibility and that sent his career down the drain. Imagine if someone did that to Deco, Silva, Coutinho, Pjanic, among others, I doubt they would turn up as good as they were/are. Anderson was a played with similar attributes to those I mentioned (he could be as good as some of them as well), he isn't Fabregas, Isco, Oscar, etc, or are great workers as well as creative players.

Can't say I disagree.

I just can't agree that added defensive responsibility could've tanked his career to that extent. Maybe it would've hindered him slightly but it was also down to him to make it work and I think it could've. Injuries and an apparent lack of application stopped it.

One look at him and you know immediately what stopped him.

It wasn't just that though as you said. He was also injured for large parts of his early years. Combine the two and we get the current Anderfat.

I was expecting to see Lulinha, lol.

Anderson was a player back then though. Don't think he deserved the Golden Ball at that U17 tourney (Nuri Sahin did), but he was clearly some talent. Fergie obviously thought "well he looks like Davids..."

Fun fact: Marcelo managed to get 2 red cards within that single youth tournament, lol.

I've watched that Moyes vine about 100 times now.

I don't even know what he's saying. Nether does he. That chuckle at the end.

Imagine if he starts doing well there.

I actually think Moyes will do well. Club in dire straits, low expectations and little money? That's his wet dream.

Probably. £33m. Easy.

French CB's sure are a premium price.

Just saw the Mirror reporting it. If the Mirror and Viva ITK say it's happening than you know it's not.

Surprised Barca aren't in for him.

I can't wait for Verms to get healthy.

 

[3Sixty]

We've got a deal in place to sign Alderweireld for £8m and United are going to spunk 33m on a player who can't get in the French team behind football luminaries such as Sakho, Koschienley and that bloke Barca bought.

Sensational.

They wanted him in the summer but didn't want to pay the release clause or something. Good old Zubi.

Just saw the rumors on twitter that Hummels is going to chose Arsenal over Man U.

Must not buy into the philosophy.

Can't say I disagree.

He's got two of the players wrong: Coutinho is a hard worker with a lot of defensive responsibilities, and Fabregas is the opposite—someone who relies on their technique much more than graft.
