I think it's safe to say we can write him off for the rest of this season and definitely will not play a part in the title run-in. It's Carrick/Cleverley/Giggs/Scholes/Jones(emergency cover) as our options in the central midfield. Get him ready for pre-season (he looked good in the first few games after finally having one). Can't deny that the lad's abit injury-prone

We don't even known for sure if Cleverley is an option.
 
He's been back multiple times SATA :(

I'm holding out hope for now at least.

Cleverley, Anderson boost for United

The Manchester United midfield duo of Tom Cleverley and Anderson are likely to return to action for Sunday's clash against West Bromwich Albion.
Cleverley has been training this week after recovering from an ankle knock sustained in the 2-1 home defeat against Ajax over a fortnight ago.

Anderson came off the bench to play over 30 minutes in United's 3-2 loss to Athletic Bilbao to Thursday's Europa League encounter. The Brazilian had not featured for United since the FA Cup victory at Manchester City in January.
"I think Tom will be involved," United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told MUTV's Countdown to Kick-off.
"Obviously the problem when you have players out for such a long time is when you can get them back into the fray.
"For instance, Ando played for half an hour and it was a good half-hour for him as he'd not played for two months."
Meanwhile, United defender Chris Smalling could struggle to be fit in time for Sunday's game against the Baggies after opening up a head wound on Thursday.
"We'll have to look at that issue and see what the problem is," Ferguson said.
"I imagine he'll be doubtful for Sunday but I think everyone else is okay."
Smalling was substituted during the defeat to Athletic after aggravating the head injury sustained on international duty for England against Holland.
On Thursday, Ferguson admitted United's slack European performances this season have forced him to reassess how to approach games at Old Trafford.

fecking joke, we need some luck from all this injuries. :mad:
 
:lol: out indefinitely with a "burst blood vessel" ffs.

From my brief stint on twitter it seems that the professional journalists are able to get some accurate inside knowledge. Everyone else talks speculative bollox and often blatant lies.

So basically, you might as well stick to reading newspapers.
 
Smalling will be fine, he was at the cinema yesterday eating Malteasers twitter tells me.

I know that guy @mufcshirts personally. He does have some inside sources, although I can't say how reliable they are. Sadly he could well be right.
 
And the cycle continues:

Alright> Quite Decent> Still fat> Overhit passes> Still fat> "He's not fat, okay?"> Injured> Back in a couple of weeks> Slightly more fat> Not back just yet> Back, and this time it's for good> Still fat> Overhit passes> Dropped for a few games> Back for 15 minutes> Injured again.

Repeat ad nauseum.
 
Fergie mentioned Nani, Valencia and Smalling after the game. Nothing on Anderson. I'm taking that as a bad sign.
 
The way the injuries are going, I don't see him making it here. He's lucky to be good enough to make it into the team when he is fit, so when he's not, then you know he hasn't got much of a chance.

It's a shame. I remember how good we thought he could be when we signed him. He was seen by some as a Ronaldinho-esque Brazilian attacking midfielder, but played differently and took up more of a defensive role. He was still promising in his first season though, and I think that gave us a lot of hope.

As I say though, the chance of him now making it here look very slim. I hope that for his sake, wherever he goes, he can improve his fitness and at least fulfill some of his potential as a player that has gone to waste here.
 
Its very much so debatable that Anderson would be able to make it here based purely on his ability, and the fullfilment or lack of, his potential. Add in these fecking injuries and it's hard to see unfortunately.
 
Why would you love to see him play against Bilbao? Even if he was fully fit, he'd be blowing out of his arse after 50mins chasing shadows.

In simple terms - he isn't good enough for United. Shame really but there you go

I think he has been unfortunate with injuries, so wouldn't say he is not good enough.

Not a popular view to hold but I do share it myself. Its bizarre at times the excuses that are rolled out for him, especially in comparison to the shite certain other players have to endure.

I genuinely hope Im wrong and he'll will be a player for us but i just cant see it happening.

Shoot me!
 
This thread https://www.redcafe.net/f6/our-best-player-5-years-time-189378/ makes me really miss Anderson from his first year in England. Amazing, injury free player with 38 appearances in one season...

But we all know those 'in five years...' threads.

Here are two line-up predictions for 2008/09 season. Posted in 2003.

Howard - Trabelsi, Ferdinand, van Buyten, O'Shea - Parker, Fletcher - Joaquin, Ronaldo, van der Vaart - van Nistelrooy.

Howard - O'Shea, Ferdinand, Mexes, Silvestre - Fletcher, Djemba-Djemba - Joaquin, Ronaldo, van der Vaart - van Nistelrooy.
