It doesn't matter much, does it? If he was 20 stone and could run for 90 minutes no one would be bothered.

He has a fat head Thats why people think he is fat.
But overall he is in good shape.

My mate plays football and is as fit as I have ever seen anyone.
And he has had ligament injury 5 times in last 2 and a half years.

Recurring hamstring issues suggest he might actually have a problem with his lower back which is ultimately linked to posture.
When does the Carrington hospital open? With the number of injuries experienced recently, i think it is necessity now.
Pretty much a no-brainer, isn't it? If you strapped 2 stone on your back, and ran around with that, you wouldn't need much convincing that it imposed an extra strain on your body.
Yeah, it's a no-brainer.
Every man and his dog can see that Anderson's not as trimmed as he should be. Of course his body is put through extra strain.
His injury record isn't all coincidence.

Not a expert of any kind but does seem like Anderson doesn't have a most upright or confident of postures.
Ah he's fat again now (sigh)... this picture must be photoshopped then.

The lad is in great shape, he just has broad shoulders and a massive fat head.

It's incredible how much you lot want to gossip about another man's weight.
It's annoying when it's very possible that his refusal to keep in top shape contributes to our midfield lacking options.
Its annoying that you lot ignore photo proof and keeping spouting nonsense as well.
The way his body is he does tend to look fat when playing, but if you just look at all the other pictures (I'm Always Right's just above) it's pretty obvious he isn't fat. Find something else to blame him injuries on.
Get better you cnut...you were looking good.
If he's in terrific shape why don't he ever seem to complete 90 minutes without fading after 70?
It's virtually never happened for us. I can't remember one single match where he's looked good throughout.

You remember every single game he's played in for the last 5 years? I'm impressed
Yaya Toure.
Nah - the argument has moved from weigght to shape/fitness since weight was prroved wrong.
It's because he has a chubby face....
Fast-twitch muscles, he's an explosive player and lacks 90-min CM stamina.
Of course not. I just can't remember once where I've thought to myself "hey, Ando had some match throughout today".
And even this season the problem's been obvious, even after a full pre-season.
marjen is so full if shit, anything to have a negative whinge.
Probably what Pete said. He isn't fat, as the pictures prove, but it seems he's got fast-twitch fibres. He'd be our star man if we had futsal team.
Thank god for a bit of sense. Marjen I normally find myself agreeing with you, but I can't understand how anyone can continue to peddle the 'fat' argument despite the ever-growing portfolio of photos of him looking perfectly trim.
Face it, he's not a Cleverley in terms of build or style, and correspondingly he's not the sort who's ever going to be running at 100% for 90 minutes. Doesn't mean he's fat or even especially unfit. Look at Ozil - in perfect physical condition, and actually of a trim, willowy sort of build, and yet he also burns out if you play him for a full match. Not every player can do it at the intensity required at a top club these days.
No-one would call Yaya Toure fat would they?
Briefly considered giving the 'not to his face' joke in reply. But I think he showed what he's made of mincing off the pitch after 'injuring' himself on the intimidating bulk of Tom Cleverley on Sunday. I'm not sure I'd be particularly worried about calling him fat to his face.
It's a bit of a caf joke, no one seriously thinks he's allowed to be out of condition. My view is he simply isn't a CM and should play higher up but he doesn't look good wide and isn't good enough to play in the hole. Man without a position in a top team, will possibly be spectacular as a hole player at a slightly lower level.
If you are asking if you can have him at Arsenal Pete the answer is no.
We've got enough crocks and people who want to play in the hole, thanks.
Has marjen always been this negative?
Dunno about his negativity but he's sure prone to jumping to the odd conclusion. All in all, though, he's not bad for a fella from Bodø.
do all the players do yoga now?, I remember seeing something about how when giggs started doing regular yoga sessions his injury jinx also went away.
I'm now fairly certain that Giggs took up yoga to improve his sexual prowess.
this worries me because my girlfriend has been suggesting we go and take some yoga lessons for quite a while now

it definitely imporoves your core strength, if you know what I mean.

When you're shopping for shoes, she hasn't said "I thought you took a smaller size", has she?
He's just a bit of a spanner. People have posted picture after picture showing that Anderson isn't out of shape, yet he insists that he is for some reason.
Well put your money where your mouth is and grab a Sofa and Olly.
Saw in the MUFC injuries thread that Anderson is due back 23rd - Does anyone happen to have an update on his situation, and how bad the injury actually was?
23rd? Next week. Oh wow. I thought he'd be out longer.
