Of the 3 new buys Anderson, Nani and Owen Hargreaves, i am most concern with is Anderson... He could be the one that may not have the best of next season.
Hargreaves i belief he will do well and Nani should do ok too but Anderson... I still have my doubts if he is really good enough... Hopefully he will prove my doubts to be wrong. -
I agree...SAF does not have a good record with S American players -
Folan, Klberson, Veron...they have came, flopped and disappeared... -
actually i think anderson will be better then nani.
just that the central midfield spots is harder to get a spot especially amc. -
I already had doubts on Anderson's purchase when his and Nani's double captures were announced. Now we don't lack of central midfielders, with Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves, Fletcher and even O'Shea are fighting for the 2 spots.
I dont see why Anderson is being bought to the club. United needs a striker more than a central midfielder so Fergie's decision to sign him comes as a surprise.
Cheers.

It seems that Fergie wants to play with a more fluid attack. If you notice, the new signings can play in various positions in attack. Fergie has always liked his wingers to switch flanks and last season, he's constantly shuffled his attackers during the match.Originally posted by CKeer:I already had doubts on Anderson's purchase when his and Nani's double captures were announced.

Anderson can play as a winger on either side, as well as a central attacking midfielder or even further forward as a trequartista or supporting striker. Similarly, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney can play in all the above positions, with the exception of the central midfield role.
As such, I expect that the 4 of them at least, will be rotated around constantly during a match to confuse markers. Also, as for recent South American signings, Heinze has done pretty well don't you think? -
yeah, i always tell my friends i scared anderson will be a flop in EPL..

I think your right. And if SAF is not plunging into the transfer market for a new striker anytime soon, be prepared to watch him revert to his experimental 4-4-1-1 formation, incorporating his new midfield purchases and Rooney as a lone striker.Originally posted by Othello_Red:It seems that Fergie wants to play with a more fluid attack.

I'd rather he go for 4-3-3 than 4-4-1-1. -
the key is scholes is not getting any younger, and either fletcher, owen, carrick are consistent scorers...
And anderson may proves to be a younger version of scholes in that he can grap 10-15 goals per season.
given that he is young, and with scholes back to guide, may have a chance for him to prove himself.
