Anderson

[adam10]

Not really. Anderson is a deadset gun whenever he plays. Sir Alex is just too much of a control freak to give him more opportunities. Anderson should be playing every game. Instead we have limpdicks like Owen Hargreaves limping off.

Alex tried to turn Anderson into a DCM which well he isnt. Hes as much a DCM as Alan Smith is a striker.....

Anderson is just an example of a player ruined by horrible coaching.

Mate, just admit you were wrong, everyone makes mistakes.

I have no idea what's wrong with him but a few years back he was the best young player in the world.

Anyway I think in a few years Lucas will be the best player in the world, so Anderson Smanderson.

Going to back up the Coledinho a bit here.

He's rarely had a full crack at it as reasons listed above. Injuries/saf being a goose.

He isn't a cdm. Look back at his Porto days, the guy is running around everywhere, drifting to the left and scoring goals. How many times has he been in the penalty box under saf?

Still has plenty of time to make what is a bad call based on the time line given, into a good call.

 

[Coledinho]

Id rather him at LW, LB than DCM. Hes just wayy too small in stature to be playing that role. SAF is a good manager but hes no god and he makes his blunders

When he retires im fairly sure hes gonna say Anderson was one of his biggest.

That doesn't make any sense considering Smith used to be a striker...

Poor man's Lucas Leiva.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Well, he's also well over a year younger than Lucas Leiva, and Lucas Leiva was gash until two days ago. So.

 

[Jessica Watson]

Not at all BB.

Lucas was one of our best outfielders last season.

 

[belfast_bomber]

But that's like being one of Italy's greatest generals. Or New Zealand's finest beers.

True the year makes a massive difference.... although Anderson was more highly rated and cost about twice as much (?), I would say Lucas has probably achieved more individually and thus been of greater value for money.

Anderson's won two league medals and a champions league!

 

[LFTWNG11]

Anderson has the honours for sure... I meant Lucas has showed more individually, as in better performances in his position on the field.

The whole Manchester squad has achieved a lot more than the Liverpool squad, there is no doubt to that....

... and the Italians revolutionised cowardness.

Whereas them heroic Catalans

not the same people.

most modern Italians are descended from Lombards and Normans, who were Germanics.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Back to topic, the amount of time Anderson's been out these last couple of years, he's more a poor man's Owen Hargreaves.

Your next point?










(I know exactly where Carthage was )

There is also Greek and Latin in there.... can't really tell you which European country has pure blood from 2000 years ago. Doesn't change the fact Rome is the capital of Italy...

Would've thought the Scandinavians would be.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Would've thought the Scandinavians would be.

Course not. Germanic and Russian migration, other Slavic influences.

Except for Iceland, due to obvious isolation.

Stronger ties to the Vikings than any other country has to their original flock I would've thought.

If we're including Russia in this then that would probably be the answer.

Reminds me of this though: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/08/1-in-200-men-direct-descendants-of-genghis-khan/

 

[DB10]

a lot of Russians were originally descended from northern Germanics. the name Russia itself (land of the Rus') comes from traveling Scandinavians and a shitload of their language directly transliterates into English or German once Romanised.

There is also Greek and Latin in there.... can't really tell you which European country has pure blood from 2000 years ago. Doesn't change the fact Rome is the capital of Italy...

nobody does.

most of Europe is descended from the various Germanic tribes though, as in the ones who destroyed the Roman Empire but weren't apart of it.

yeah, I've done a class on this very topic at uni.

 

[belfast_bomber]

So basically all Europeans are goths.

Which accounts for the otherwise inexplicable popularity of Depeche Mode on the continent.
