Anderson

[youngsaint]

You have to say that both are quality players and with time Anderson will become a better player because in my opinion he is already at the same level as Elano if not further ahead and he stills has many years of improving to come.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Both are absolute quality and could make an outstanding national team partnership in the centre of midfield. I'd like to see Anderson cut out the 'bratty' nature of his personality/sportsmanship though.

True. I'd also like to see how he is in front of goal. So far he's only really had two sniffs of a chance - neither were sitters, it must be said - and both ended up in row Z. More Nicky Butt than Paul Scholes in that regard.

Other than that though he hasn't really put a foot wrong. More than just cover for Scholes, and that from one who was thought to be more for the future than for this season.

On a side note, what happened to moomba's sense of humour? Looks like going "top four"'s gone to his head, he's starting to act like a top four fan.

Fact is for Elano its all downhill from here.....Ever since his brilliant first month hes been declining and being outshone by the better player in Petrov

I think this statement proves you don't watch much football.

I look forward to your Bianchi is better then Tevez thread.

And this one proves your age, or mental age to be precise.

Maybe I'm just getting old. Because in amongst a bit of banter, windups and even the odd "look at how cool I am, I'm pretending I'm sexually attracted to a player" post I like to see a bit of sensible football discussion.

And that is getting harder and harder to find on this board.

Haha, that is a horrible dive. Don't get why Gerrard doesn't cop it as much as Ronaldo does.

Sharp work belfast bomber

Haha moomba is so easily stirred. I didnt even read what I wrote after my first post

EDIT: I wrote Petrov is better then Elano. Haha

Not easily stirred, just easily bored by someone that tends to ruin genuine discussion by continually out stupiding himself.

Say what. I wasnt the one that brought up Elano in this thread

One is English, one is Johnny Foreigner, its that simple.

 

[moomba]

Neither did I, muppet.

About that simple really. IMO alot of new players to the league get caught up in the diving (Pineaar, Malouda are this years duo) but they seem to learn the error of there ways and I guess get a bit more used to the physicality after a while and cut it out of there game

 

[Embers]

You brought it up before me though. Trying to derail my spectacular thread like always. Tsk tsk.

 

[Embers]

Did anyone see his run into the box today vs Portsmouth. Simply spectacular. If that was one inch closer it would of been goal of the year by a mile. I cant get over how good he is, A footballing god

Yeh, that was some seriously scary stuff.

Probably would of been goal of the decade. How did he get to that ball. Its physically impossible. I still cant understand it.

Should've been a Chelsea player.

Chelsea go for established stars rather than emerging ones.

True that. But, recent signings Ivanovic and Di santo are indications of our future transfer policies.

Absolute pleasure to watch.

He ran.. like oh my god, no ones ever ran before!!!. Stop overhyping things so much you baboon.

You clearly didnt see the lead up towards it so your opinion is irrelevant. Its more then just running in a straight line. Ball control speed and technique. Things you learn about when you watch the game for longer then 3 months

So thats why you haven't learnt it yet? Oh snap. Cmon Embers, who are you kidding, everyone knows you have know idea about anything.

 

[apollo_creed]

It's one area where he's got Cristiano 7 Gold Boots w***er more than covered.

I like him better as a footballer as well. Far sexier. More refined. Better to watch.

Ronaldo is just a goalscoring beast. Unstoppable force of juice.
