What position does Anderson play in? Palynka, he's coming from your team? What's he like?

Originally posted by RagnorakIn Porto he was very consistent, but the video will give you the image of a player who does a lot of technical tricks. Anderson didn't play at Porto like that. He restrains himself and knows how to use those tricks sparingly and effectively.
Anderson looks the mutt's.

Originally posted by SeitseI'm sorry to tell you, but that's just speculation for the moment. Porto has a strict policy to avoid leaks of trade negotiations (look at the Anderson negotiations) and Quaresma said clearly that he would only leave for a Spanish, English or Italian club that fights regularly for the title.

WHat's been said over there about it?
Originally posted by PalynkaYup, I guess it all depends on selling Fernando Torres to Liverpool or some other English club.

It's a fact that Atletico is interested, but I doubt they'll pay ...[text shortened]... anagement fund that partially owned Anderson's pass), I doubt Quaresma will leave for less.
Originally posted by SeitseI don't know. I think Quaresma can do better and he knows it. Portuguese players typically have a hard time to adapt well to Spanish football. Of course, Figo (which was such a professional that could adapt anywhere) and Futre are the obvious exceptions.

Also, if Atletico qualifies (as we all expect) for the UEFA Cup and conclude the signing of Recoba and Raul Garcia, it can also be interesting for Quaresma football-wise.
Originally posted by PalynkaThe videos on YouTube of Anderson are much more impressive than of Nani.

Originally posted by PalynkaI think Fergie has built a team with a rock solid defense, helped by a couple of midfield holding players, and 4 pretty much out and out attackers.
If you guys also get Huntelaar, you'll have one of the hottest young teams that I remember ever since the Ajax days.
Of course, Fergie will need to tactically accommodate them. They can't all play at the same time or it would be too offensive... Can they?

Anderson won the Player of the Tournament in the U17 World Championship, even though Brazil didn't win. He broke his leg in October, so how many games did he play for Porto last season?
There's no official statement on how much they cost. I'd be surprised if they did turn out t ...[text shortened]... e language, so hopefully they'll settle in easily, something which has been a problem.
