Hey Ratty :
Your possibly right, they all have been found wanting this season and probably for the better part of last season as well.
However, Anderson I feel has so much more within him than the others you have mentioned.
Given the time, United have only to find the right formula required to reveal his latent untapped resources, but can they afford him anymore time ?
I don't have the answers but, obviously he is not producing the talents that made him worth the £8million (+ extra's) that they paid for him.
You don't suddenly cease being a good player. So it's just a question of having to persist in trying to find out what it is that makes him tick, then do whatever is necessary in order to get the best out of him on the pitch.
Additionally, with Giggs, Neville, Scholes and VDS probably going, end of season, United couldn't afford having to replace 9 players.
Nani, well he is just another selfish egotist who believes in his own publicity.
Undoubtedly a player of enormous potential, he has unfortunately elevated himself, (in his own mind) as one of the worlds greats, without first completing his apprenticeship.
He has to learn how to become more of a team player, instead of going for glory at every opportunity.
As for his diving …. well that's him run out of ideas.
He thinks that he is 'conning the foul' without necessarily having the skills to convincingly pull it off.
By continuing this practice he is building himself a bad reputation.
His diving has now become a habit that will result in 'Red Cards', something the rest of the team cannot afford to happen.
I'm surprised SAF hasn't come down on him like a 'ton of bricks' before now.
If he has, then why does Nani continue to do it ?
