Sounds like an oxymoron - but AM's can still be dangerous without posing a direct goal-threat themselves...
I think the shooting will come... esp. given his range of passing.....

September for full fitness I believe. Depends on how much work he puts in and how quickly his knee responds. I hope he fulfills his potential with us, as I just know if we sell him he'll be one of those players who haunts us and does exceptionally well elsewhere (Like Pique)

If United don't sign anyone over the summer, which I don't expect them to, then Anderson more than anyone else needs to step up.
He has everything - He's athletic, strong, amazingly skillful when he wants to be and can run at people. What amazes me is his lack of aggressivenes, he can take games over, but he rarely does. I've always stated that Ferguson has done a poor job with him. There were games last season where he was our best player, only to be dropped the next game. This was something that frustrated me with Owen too (Think after the Wolfsburg game). Nani however did manage to break his way in, probably because Ferguson is desperate to get some youth on the left wing.
Still my point remains - With the financial situation we have - Ferguson has to sink or swim with some of the younger guys. Hernandez, Anderson, Smalling etc. They need to be given their chance and he needs to stick with them when they actually start to show something.

Anderson needs to find a balance with his passing, he tries the killer pass too often. Its rare that you see someone who can run past players in the middle of the park like Anderson can, his dribbling is one of this best attributes. If only Scholes could show him how to move off the ball.
... and strike the ball sweetly

He also needs to practice his finishing. How many has he scored in roughly 90 games? One goal? Just not enough my friend, just not enough. I like the kid but to be honest I don't think he'll ever quite cut it here because he can't score.

I predicted (and believed) that Anderson would become a bigger successs then Ronaldo...I remember a Match of The Day ,when Anderson was highlighted after a game, when Hanson was raving about him showing how he gave defenders "The eye" by looking left and then passing right, how he could "drop a shoulder" and go passed defenders at speed, and acurately pass long and short. He also had a couple of ferocious shots (admittedly off target) and everyone agreed if he could add goals to his game he would go on to be one of the best midfielders in the game. Just imagine a midfield of Anderson reaching his full potential and a fit Hargreves.

I want Anderson to get a starting role for us next season, it annoys me how talented Nani and Anderson were and how little game time they got. Nani is starting to show his potential and Anderson will if Fergie allows him to.
I see Anderson as a box to box midfielder alongside a more holding midfielder Fletcher, with an attacking midfielder like Gourcuff being signed to play in a 4-5-1

he'll either be huge... or he'll self destruct like a lot of brazilian footballers eventually do
