I remember at the end of the 2006/07 season we had just won the league by 6 points. Similar to last year I was overally convinced with that side and thought it needed more players and had to get Larsson came in and got us over the line. (Still shocks me that. class player),
Then at end of season Fergie was saying maybe need one player. I couldnt believe it and thought the team would be short with one player and needed quality.
Then in the market united went put it out.
They bought
Nani
Anderson
Hargreaves
Tevez
Kuzcuak
2 of the most promising young players in the world and a top drawer midfielder and a striker. They went on to win 2 leagues on the spin and a champs league.
That is what was needed in the summer to add quality and increase the competition. Cant sit on success. Alto to be fair to Moyes he did try but it looked a bit amateurish in the end. Hopefully hes learn and we can look forward to a big spend in the summer

I hadn't even heard of anderson a few months before he joined. Neither had hardly anyone on here either.
Nani looked promosing. I'll give you that one.
Hargreaves had his well known injury problems. It was a MASSIVE gamble by us. It wasn't unknown he had a woeful track record of being injured.
And we didn't buy tevez. We loaned him.
Other than that though.....spot on

Anderson was heavily linked as the new Ronaldinho and had heavy interest from Barcelona if I remember correctly

No not quite Stretford, I was still playing Champ manager at that time, so had certainly heard of Anderson as he was one of the best number10s on the game, with excellent skills and the most extra attributes.
Back to the real world, Anderson was crowned European Young player of the year for 2008, alnong side Messi, Rooney and Fabregas who had won it previously. Pogba has just been crowned this years winner.
