(Jan 01) After realising he was n't going to get in the England squad, Anderton developed an injury. Lets hope he's back soon.  
(Jan 01) I like Anderton but the majority of his performances this year have been substandard for any Premiership player, let alone a so-
called star! I think we should let him go in the summer and re-introduce some new blood in the midfield as this will do both parties good
(Dec 00) After the excellent match at Elland Road - Anderton has yet to convince as a central midfielder and despite offering the  
occasional bit of class, his performances are well below the star rating his substantial contract is based upon      
(Oct 00) While I was right to be critical of Anderton in the Sept piece, his performance at Elland Road reminded me of what a player he
could have been for us, and makes his under achievement all the more frustrating. I was reminded of his excellent partnership with
Barmby when he linked with Rebrov and all we need now is a "Sheringham" up front to finish it all off.        
Long may the good performances continue - how long to he next comes up for a Bosman?            
(Sept 00)Not the same player before his years of injuries and owes his lofty salary and opinion of himself for performances before 1995
for Tottenham and for England performaces in 1996/98. Seems not to suffer from the squad rotation system that Ginola does. Insists that
he is a central midfielder and seems to sulk when put in his best position (wide on the right). Still possess a good shot and is useful
from deadball situations but he was much more that that once upon a time. I previously rated Anderton as a great Spurs player, but
but judged on recent performances, he is now just a better alternative to Leo on the right side of midfield. Guess what - injured again!!!!
