And Kazenga, in a year the N'Zogbia debate will have been settled in my favour and it will be Andy vs LuaLua.

Carrols just your old usual english striker, Kazenga, A) has a awesome name
B) is black
c) he's not english

So he has to be better

Well he is a better prospect IMO. But then Carroll is alot older, a lot bigger, a totally different type of player, and plays in a different position. So shut your face punty. The new Zog.

How much attacking did he do in these games or any other games for that matter?

Is he not cute enough for you?

I don't no how to respond to that . A more relevant question for this thread is - Is he not attacking enough for you? To which my answer is, so far, no .

Sure the man who has spent 99% of his time no greater than a ten foot radius away from his rio, vidic and hargreaves (carrick) protection zone and has given us SWEET FA indication that he will become the next ronaldinho as the great prophet lrd predicted is the best attacking midfielder in the league

Your poor little brain must go into hype overdrive anytime you associate a brazilian with a man u shirt

First the new cafu
Then the new roberto carlos
Now the new ronaldinho

How on earth did kleberson escape this madness or am I just not remembering which legendary brazilian he should have turned into?

Shame Liverpool (or Gerrard ) couldn't put him under any severe pressure, his first season lets don't expect fireworks.

Most of us don't expect fireworks, but your lot are talking as if he has already lit up the league.

A bus is always difficult to break down. Anderson was just one small component in this bus. You cannot say united's midfield dominated either of the matches as their midfield was basically joined with the defence. If you come back and say the mass defence dominated our's and arsenal's midfield then I will happily accept

In all seriousness though, he is clearly a great player but really has not shown any indication of any great passing or shooting ability. He is strong, relatively quick, good technically and therefore good in confined space and he knows how to work the ball simply. As you know assisting and scoring goals is a whole different level. I'm guessing if he gives you half the end product scholes has given you over the years you should be delighted

Unlike your fans saying Fabregas at 16 was WC, I take your advice. I'm not hyping Anderson whatsoever but crediting that hes come into the team and has not looked out of place, he can only get better.

Clive Anderson never gets out of his own half, he's too busy making sure no one looks at Rio best attacking midfielder? Are you having a laugh?

the correct answer, for those who are interested is:

Kuyt
Gerrard
Lampard
Cesc
Scholes
Carragher

Weird, but i think thats exactly what we did with Fabregas....
Moreover, Anderson was hardly a noive, he'd play championsleague football. The way you're saying it makes it look like he'd never seen a football before. What did you expect?
Finally, to all man utd fans, how exactly did Anderson outplay Fabregas? Sure, he rolled around a bit under a tackle, and lost Hleb for the pass to Fabregas for our equaliser but apart from that?

1) Scholes
2) Anderson
3) Not an Arsenal player
4) Who cares?

Are you really making your opinion based on that or how he kicks the ball and how he looks when he runs?

Your poor little brain must go into hype overdrive anytime you associate a brazilian with a man u shirt

First the new cafu
Then the new roberto carlos
Now the new ronaldinho

How on earth did kleberson escape this madness or am I just not remembering which legendary brazilian he should have turned into?

You called him overated, i called him a genius in the making
You called him a flop, i called him the most talented 19 yr old in the world.
You called him a waste of money, he then went on to outplay your precious captain at anfield

What are you doing trying to tell me im wrong cotr?
Anderson is the best midfielder in the league, i wouldn't compare him to Ronaldinho anymore, his style is nothing like him and he surely will become a better player than him true story

He kicks the ball well and tries to dibble properly, I have no problem watching him as a player.

Before he went to ManU, his style was almost exactly like Ronaldinho's. He passes like him, he dribbles like him, he controls the ball like him. He really was a smaller, darker and slightly less talented version of Ronaldinho. When he came to ManU I was sure he was gonna make it, like Tweedle, and thought Nani was too lightweight and undeveloped to make a short term impact. Anderson isn't a revelation, he was very highly rated by those who had seen him, there is a reason you had to pay so much for him.

Anyhow, relating it to this topic. Anderson should be disqualified or very lowly placed as he hasn't shown many great attacking qualities/incidents in England thus far. Arsenal's Lassana Diarra has done as much attacking as him, maybe more.

Hate the c**t, but Tim Cahill deserves a shout.

There's a reason I was waiting for the Hysen verdict. Top work

and chins

Who are the top ten attack-minded midfielders on this board, I wonder?
