Yeah, we should have snapped him up when we had the chance.
Im not too worried to be honest. We might not have the big name midfield of Real Madrid or even United's in the last 10 years but we do have one that works in our system. My only concern is Micheal Carrick, we need him to be our Lampard or Gerrard - and i'd say he does the job 40/50% of the time. Not good enough. He was dropped after the Burnley game where he was aweful, and he was shocking in the first half yesterday, but was a completley different player in the second. He needs to start performing like that week in week out. Im a big fan of Anderson, i think he's going to be a top class player - not sure when he hasnt been playing recently - but im sure he's been bollocked by Fergie.
My only regret is that we didnt get a true ball winner in Palacious, but if Fletcher plays the way he has been recently we should be fine.
