But Anderson’s Hair Is OK?

Rumour had it that Sir Alex Ferguson had told Bebe to put a stop to the hair do he sported when signing for United. We dismissed that on RoM. Fergie was a lot more strict in the past with such things, which once prompted a rumour that Nani had been told to stop his extravagant goal celebration after opening his account for us in the pre-season and following it up with a flip. That rumour turned out to be bogus.

With Anderson allowed long dreadlocks, it seemed unlikely that Bebe would be told his haircut wasn’t allowed.

However, in response to questions about his decision to shave off his hair, Bebe has confirmed the rumours were true.

“Did Ferguson make me cut my hair ? More or less!”

    I think Sir Alex Is Full Of Shit

    “It will take the boy a bit of time to settle in ” Said Sir Alex last week

    thats crap Bebe is superhuman ,he should be able to settle in in a few hours

    he has evidently learned English in 9 days

  2. dela says:

    @GHTT

    Totally agree. Bebe is so pathetic that he doesn’t even figure on the bench for our reserves against Oldham tonight, never mind the fact that he is training with the Portugal U-21 side.

  3. man united says:

    i think fergie was joging with bebe and he taught he was serious about it. ha i actualy rather him the other way.

  4. Fze123 says:

    The only reason Bebe has been called up to the U21 Portugal side is because we signed him. If we didn’t then he would have never have had a call up from them, coz he’s shite.

  5. jono says:

    lol maybe something got lost is translation and fergie was only joking

  6. jono says:

    @Fze123

    would also be down the national coach rating him too

  7. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    dela

    yeah i read that today about him not been good enough for the reserve bench tonight- some writer are just shocking – but they have editors and everything that let crap like this go through,

    there is so much going on in the world of football and the world of sport everyday but because a new player gets a hair cut its just a way of writing crap about sir alex -

  8. Chudi says:

    F*cking hell Fze123 have you actually seen Bebe play? This is a United player you’re talking about here good to say our fans get behind the new boy eh?

  9. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Fze123

    Sir Alex had a huge hand in Ole playing Rio Today
    Carlos Queiroz had a hugh hand in Bebe playing for United
    Carlos Queiroz is the portugal manager
    Bebe is playing for the under 21s
    see were im going

  10. dela says:

    @GHTT
    Off topic, how is the reserves game coming along? Still 2-1?

  11. Costas says:

    Well Ando did cut his hair after the 2008 Olympics and it looked so bad that he had to put extensions, lol. Maybe Ando’s hair make him look slimmer. ;)

  12. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    deja
    over -2-1-
    Anderson and Ole played first half Ole says Rio is ready for First Team football

  13. Red Canuck says:

    Damn this is a slow news day

  14. willierednut says:

    Chudi – Fze123 was being sarcastic mate.

  15. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    fze123- i hope my comment didnt come across as been a shot at you
    i didnt take your comment serious my comment reply was pedantic

  16. Chudi says:

    I hope so Willie, wouldn’t be the first time I’ve see our own fans having a go.

  17. Tom F says:

    Love the way everyone (well, clearly not everyone) is calling Bebe shite – I had never heard of him before we signed him and I’m sure every single person calling him shite has never seen him play.

    As a forward, I reckon it’s better to have less hair as it is less of a distration when playing, especially heading the ball.

    Also, the less of a giant floppy afro the better in my opinion. Bring back the hair of Karel Poborsky.

  18. Dan says:

    Neither of them were a patch – barnet-wise – on Remi Moses in his heyday! (For those younger United fans….go Google…)

  19. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Remi Moses – what a classic midfielder he’d brake your leg and keep going but he wasnt a bad guy ,he’d go back and check on ya when the ball went out of play

  20. Chudi says:

    What about Jason Lee who used to play for Forest Dan? Had the whole pineapple head thing going on!

  21. willierednut says:

    Rumour has it Remi was found floating up a river, in a floral basket.

  22. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Chudi

    Jason Lee- should thank frank Skinner for people remembering and or noticing him

    what a shite player

  23. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Exodus 7:1 says, �And the LORD said unto Moses, �See I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet

    Moses is god

    its in the freekin Bible

    if your into that sort of thing

  24. Peter says:

    Bollix to fze123 and his “sarcastic” comment and the other tool wiping his hole clean by apologising to him.

  25. Fze123 says:

    @jono and Chudi, I was joking lads, I am not one to call a player of our own shite upon never seeing him play.

  26. Jonny says:

    Anderson may have a bit of a bush, but everything is bigger in the States

    I hope you are all sitting down:

  27. Fze123 says:

    Was the game today filmed? If anyone can get hold of a link showing the goals, it would be greatly appreciated if it’s posted here.

  28. Hair Guru United says:

    Just so we’re clear, yes Bebe had dreadlocks, but Anderson has never had dreadlocks! He has braids with extensions attached to the ends, not dreadlocks!

  29. Fze123 says:

    @Jonny, lol. If we signed a player with hair like that Fergie would cut it himself.

  30. Joseph says:

    Bebe is not a shit.

  31. Jonny says:

    stick him in goal, could use it like a spider web!

  32. Drew Vader says:

    Dude over on RedCafe who was at the match today said that Ando looked “heavy” and “could do with losing some timber”

    FFS Ando you’re a professional footballer, get in fucking shape

  33. adkoill says:

    havenot watched the guy play accept for the youtube videos…
    but no matter what everyone else says….if, sir Alex says he is good thn he is good

  34. sprite says:

    drew vader
    my sources tells me ando was lively..
    :p

  35. RedScot says:

    I would make all the bastards go for short back and sides at the least or get a fucking bowl on there head. Look times are tough and we need to economise.!
    Whats with the right and wrong on hair styles as long as its clean Flea free and no lice and seriously no hair dye. Thats just way too poofy. lol
    Addois over and out 10/10

  36. cantona7 says:

    hi guys..

    about the hair.. well at first i also thought “why Ando ok, but not Bebe?” but then i think again, Ando’s braided hair makes him look better actually. While Bebe, his natural hair is enough.. maybe that’s the reason.. but anyway, it’s not a big issue, like Nani’s celebration. It’s a media thing to me.

    and about Bebe not playing for our reserves yet, well i commented this at soccernet too and made the issue look stupid.. It’s clearly a media thing… but all it says is that our club is the biggest club in the world because even our reserve player is worth a debate even for fans of other clubs. It is an issue for us, MU fans, but why is it an issue for them too? therefore it only points out that our club is the biggest club in the world.

    So when the media opens a topic about the hair issue of a player from our reserves.. ROFL.

    Not arrogant, just better.

  37. Chicharito14 says:

    Chelsea have only named 4 home grown players today.apparently homegrown players is something that is very alien to them.so i wonder what the penalty for this will be? does anybody know? 20 points deduction maybe?

  38. sillysausage says:

    My mate works at carrington and apparenty Bebe has been absolutely shocking in training – can barely even control the ball. Thanks for nothing Queroz

  39. cantona7 says:

    @Chicharito14 really? wow.. is there any article on that? i just want to see the full list which tells who is HG for chelsea..

  40. Costas says:

    @Chicharito14

    Nothing, As it was mentioned in another topic, if you can’t name 8 homegrown players, you can’t name 25 senior players. It didn’t affect Chelsea since they have only 19 seniors anyway.

  41. mattbw7 says:

    sillysausage says:
    My mate works at carrington and apparenty Bebe has been absolutely shocking in training – can barely even control the ball. Thanks for nothing Queroz

    Yeah of course he does, now just because SAF hasnt seen him play and just because queroz advised we should get him are you seriously suggesting that 1 he would put forward such a player “can barely even control the ball”. 2, SAF wouldnt have got other opinions, 3, the portugese 1st div club that signed him and put a 9mill buy out in (which is common in europe) wouldnt have seen him play. No we have to rely on your mate who must be such a good judge of footballers he must wonder why he hasnt been given a coaching job, you silly silly sausage

  42. aig alex is god says:

    @Costas

    With reference to your comment on the earlier thread

    USA is a beautiful country with lots of things to see. I hope you get a chance to come here soon. Being a Wrestling fan you will enjoy even more.

  43. RedScot says:

    @Sillysauasge. ok NAME your mate and his mobile number? eedjit

  44. cantona7 says:

    @Chicharito i just came back from premierleague.com, they have the list i want there

    like Costas said (you beat me to this Costas lol), Chelsea registered only 19 players, 15 of them non-HG. According to the terms stated before the lists, a club can register up to 25 players, and in that 25, only 17 can be non-HG.

  45. RedScot says:

    @AIG Hope yer chuffed chelsea ahead of us so far! 2 points and goal difference. will you necer learn? away back to your slides and niagra falls . lmao

  46. RedScot says:

    I think some people forget there Championship football manager game! lol

  47. aig alex is god says:

    @Redscot

    yeah. We are doomed. Their goal difference is much better too. Think they will win the league with at least half dozen games to go.

  48. Pride Of All Europe says:

    Ando has extensions in. Remember when he came back from a pre-season tour (South Africa I think) the lads took the piss out of him for looking a bag of shite without them.

  49. RedScot says:

    I agree TO. United to be in the distant tell me please what is Uniteds 6 th last game before we can call this as you say?

  50. RedScot says:

    Dont you just love wasting no sayers Cell net time!. lol

  51. mattbw7 says:

    Will Bebe make it to the top level who knows but i trust SAF and Queros more than some guy who says his mate works at carrington, wonder what he does there, plus if it was me id be selling it to the press not telling a gimpy mate so he can go on a UTD site and post the wind up. CUNT!

  52. RedScot says:

    Spot On Mattbw7 and thats the way it should be. Sir Alex will navigate us through this shite we face. Hopefully.? !

  53. silly billy says:

    im a united fan of 20 years even i know that the last few signings SAF has made have been a joke compared to the past ones. WAKE UP UNITED FANS THESE NOBODIES WE BUY WILL NOT TURN INTO RONALDO …it takes great determination, skill, talent and persistance from a player to improve season by season. This was evident in signing such as rio, vida, ronny, rooney, evra, vds, valencia.

    The players not eager to learn go the same way of kleberson ..REMEMBER HIM!!!!….we got quite a lot of klebersons in our team…promising but undoubtly their attitudes stink or they lack a hunger to improve, i see this disgusting quality in many players we have signed such as:

    Kuszcak – stop moaning and play like the next big thing.
    wes brown – get fit your 30 not 20, we need to as a reliable cover, not another silvestre
    rafael – great boy, stop fouling…keep your f***king head on.
    fabio – what!! was you bought to warm the bench…GET FIT!!
    carrick – F**K off lad…your a wasted player with such great vision and no drive and pasion.
    hargreaves- was this your retirement? retire if your knees are so bad …don’t earn wages for a job you have not done in 2 years.
    berbatov- stop crying about the price tag and get out there and show us why you love united, lift your head and give people something to boast and be proud of.
    anderson- your a silly waste of 18 mill, constant mistakes in every appearance and he is not even a DMF hes a bloody AMF….lacks brain cells to adapt and should have been sold after his woeful CL final appearance.
    obertan- what? where? how? what is up with that shot you always take that always sizzles out of power and wanders off the pitch. where is you f**king confidence. How are you a versatile foward when you barely score, shoot, cross…all you seem to do is daisy cutters- well you really are worth £1 mill or was it 3 dunno.
    Macheda – nice goal…that was over a year ago GET OVER IT…get your head down and learn you over confident, arrogant boy…your not even a shadow of ronaldo so why act the big man off the pitch.
    pogba – WHERE ARE YOU? ALL THAT TROUBLE AND YOUR NOT EVEN IN THE SAME BRACKET AS GAEL KAKUTA.

    if these players don’t improve we will have a repeat of the 2004-06 team, trophyless.

    Fellow united fans, dont tell me not to moan, I have my right, I buy the shirts, the season tickets, the match programme, I pay sky sports and espn to watch them and pay my MUFC subscription. All this money from the fans deserves a say, a bigger one than that of the silly jewish glazers.

    LUGH

  54. Dave Mack says:

    Apparently Anderson played the whole 90 mins (Rio 45 mins by design)

    But the big news for me when you consider players like Drogba have their IPods in and eyes closed while they sit on Chelski’s bench is that Scholesy was a spectatator at the reserve game.

    UNITED we breed a different class. (Thanks SAF)

  55. OllieWillie says:

    It’s pretty simple really. Anderson’s hair runs down his back, Bebe’s is all over the shop.

    When it comes to playing, Anderson’s wont interfere, Bebe’s will

    End of

  56. Jay canada says:

    Thanks Red Devil 19, that was a great article.
    Bebe’s story is very touching and inspiring.
    He will be a great player for us

  57. noorgiggs says:

    Sorry lads but the deal being a strange one doesn’t give the right to say that he is shite. everyone’s got a standpoint, yet in order to judge a player, you have got to watch him first, so then it does make sense.
    no one knew ronaldo before he’d come over as well as the players themselves were the ones who advised sir alex to pick em up. let’s wait and see what he’s got and hopefully he ll be a success for us.

  58. Legolas says:

    @Red Devil 19. Thanks for de link man. very cool… “He might not be as good as Ronaldo but he will be better than Nani, somewhere in between…”..got me laughin, funny.. dont think Nani will be happy with dis remark.. Lol
    @mattbw17. hahaha.. so funny.. guess de sausage guy should handle our youth team for starts.. cant believe people actually believ all dat rubbish on Bebe… I hav a feelin his story will be told long after he’s dead n gone.. Lol

    thanks for the article mate..enjoyed reading it..truly inspirational..

  63. Legolas says:

    @ghtt. no use cryin ova spilt milk mate… Had i known they say is always at last.. we’ll learn from this… It is all good.

  64. trevor says:

    I love the sarcasim by you guys! Although i think from some of he posts some people are actualy serious which i find even more laughable!

    Could we have got Bebe for 125g? Well obviously he wasn’t scouted so we didn’t! We have to remember that our scouting team cant scout every player in every league!

    For me we spent 7mil! So what! He very quickly got noticed by the major teams in Europe, So the lad cant be that bad.. Can he? We got in quick like we did with Nani & Anderson! Its a gamble and for me one worth taking!

    I expect the papers to be over critical and look to know our team, I expect our Rivals to do this but what i don’t expect is our Fans to join in! These fans arnt real fans if you ask me! Its fans like these who can fuck off and Join City in my eyes!

    We have a part to play in this lads development, if were on his back he will have less chance in succeeding! So come on and get behind him!

  65. trevor says:

    With regards to his hair.

    We dont know in which context it was put across or why.

    If the lad has had a troubled background and a bit rough and ready! Maybe suggesting he clean up his image to ensure he understands that all eyes are on him! He is playing for united now!

    Maybe fergie was taking the Mick and Bebe thought he was serious!

    Who knows!

  66. bettathedevilsweknow says:

    SAF should make all our players get a ‘Charlton’ comb over! there would be no criticism between them,it would be a nod to our history, and on a minor note i wouldnt get jealous as Sir Bobby has got more turf than me and hes twice my age! we’ve gotta give em a chance. i trust SAF!

  67. Exiled Red says:

    I see the Daily Mail is at it again. Are they trying to do Panorama’s dirty work for them?

    While theyre trying to get back in Fergies good books with a crawling article about Bebe they write on the back page about how its a bad piece of business. Theyre always sticking the knife in.

    In a previous post I mentioned how my pal in the media told me that Bebe is not thier target. They are after someone higher up and are using Bebe to get at him. They think theres something fishy going on.

    My pal knows lads at the Daily Mail and says some of them are really appalled at the papers hatred for United and Fergie. The paper hates the north and they hate Scotland. The boss’s are all Chelsea, Spurs or West Ham fans but they do love City becuase of the Arabs money. And they really love the Glazier’s.There reporter Ladyman is a mad keen Scouser’s fan and does’nt try to hide it. May be thats why hes been banned by Fergie. Lawton is a scouser too so youre never going to get unbiased stories about United. In the Sunday Mail that twat Peirs Morgan is always having a go at Fergie or Rooney or Rio or Ronaldo.

    I hate the papers politics and i’ll never buy it again until they stop thier anti-United stuff. People are entitled to thier opinion’s but some of that stuff is ridicuolous and sickens me.

  68. bettathedevilsweknow says:

    @exiled red. i agree with you regarding papers. they love making stuff up,twisting facts,stirring up situations.its just a license to sell crap to us! imo the tabloids are just comics aimed at adults.i used to read them as it was one of the only sources until internet. any news about our team, i find at this site and the official one. i prefer R.O.M because i trust the opinions of those that write in.

  69. King Eric says:

    Exiled Red – Is Ladyman a dipper? What annoys me though is that MUTV have cunt’s like him and David McDonnel in the fucking studio.

    RedCafe was funny as fuck last night. Norman and Irwin and the crowd having a right go at Collymore for calling Giggs a cheat.

  70. King Eric says:

    Furthermore like gotta hate said yesterday SKY fucking love City. Even to the extent that they say that FOUR of their six new purchases were bought for the future as they are under twenty one. Are they really?

  71. Ollie says:

    Simple. Anderson’s hair runs down his back out of the way. Bebe’s was all over his face…….End of

  72. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    King Eric

    Robinho was bought by city for a record amount( even thou tevez will or mayhave already cost more) and City were here ,they had bought “World Class” player from the mighty Real Madrid From Under The Mighty chelsea nose, World Class Robinho then scored against chelsea- and sky screamed CITY ARE HERE WITH THE BIG BOYS

    world class robinho then went and had a better goal per game and goal per minute s on the pitch than he ever did at The Mighty Real Madrid- Then the ego shit hit the ego fan behind dressing room doors and Robinho then said “i dont need to put up with this ,im world class and getting better every year” so he walked out got loaned out and played for a team inwhich his world classness got better with an even stronger goal per game rate, then City 2 years after “THEY ARRIVED AT THE BIG DANCE” sold him for a cut price in which he took a 50% loss in his weekly wage to get away from that clusterfuck and Sky are calling him a big money flop,

    how dare they call”5th place finishing 1.4billionpound spent in 2 years and cant keep player happy by making sure they feel part of a team instead of another superstar” Manchester City A Flop

    Berbatov is Fucking Magic and is been slightly held down by scores as the inform man of of seasons start from pre season to the hammers

    But if City had of got him he’d have lost his love of football and underultilising his gifts in the bulgarian football league

  73. King Eric says:

    Gotta hate – Spot on mate. Its laughable.

  74. Exiled Red says:

    @King Eric

    I believe so. My mate in the media says Ladymans a made keen scouser and really hates United. Also, there was an article in a fanzine a couple of year’s ago and it said who all the reporters supported. There were’nt many United fans. And your right about MUTV. they never ask serious questions and they should start by asking the reporters who they support.

  75. King Eric says:

    Good to hear about Bebe:

    ‘Manchester United are getting a truly remarkable kid,’ said the likeable Paxaio, smiling as he spoke to Sportsmail. ‘Remember that until he was 16 he was just playing with his friends. He has developed incredibly quickly. The first time he plays for United — and I am sure he will make it there — people will notice him because he is different. He has skills that not many players in that League have.

    ‘He is also physically imposing. He will be like [Cristiano] Ronaldo in that point of view. But you will have to wait for him to be ready. I don’t just mean in football terms, but mentally.

    Its Sun & News of Screws all the way for me!

    Best papers for Football & Sports if you ask me!

    Have boycotted the Star for many years! When Legendary Motorcycle racer Joey Dunlop died racing the Star was the only paper in the UK to show a Picture of him after the Crash!.. Disgraceful!

  77. Service7 says:

    I was at the game last nite Rio was awesome bit easy for him tho TBH was even showboating with turns and flicks. Anderson did look sluggish and his passes were always too long for Ajose down the left and De Laet on the right, saying that tho he had some good touches and some good crunching tackles. Macheda was lively and as for his goal…..WOW 3 touches then whacked from outside of the box and rattled the crossbar before settling in the net. Wes Brown played well and marshalled the back when rio went off looked good with his brother. Cofie made some great runs and was a handful Eikrem was a good captains performance bossin the middle. Gill played well too. only player that was a bit disappointing was Wootton.
    devlin, W Brown, Gill, Wootton, Ferdinand, De Laet, Macheda, Anderson, Cofie, Eikrem,Ajose SUBS R Brown, Coll, Tunnicliffe, Lingard
    Futures bright, the future is UNITED

  78. aig alex is god says:

    Carlos Quieroz suspended for 6 months. Want him back at United ??

  79. AlphaRS says:

    If SAF didn’t say anything to Karol Poborski about his hair then I doubt he would have said anything to Bebe. Especially taking in to account SAF was alot more militant back then.
    Bebe will understand British humour soon enough…!

  80. Ignoramus says:

    Off topic, but did anyone watch the reserves game last night? How did Rio and Ando fare? The Utd website just says they played 45 and 90 mins resp, but not much beyond that.

  81. Costas says:

    God I am so bored. Internationals suck. The hottest topic is about hair…

    How about we make a bet or something. How soon before Wayne gets booed tomorrow? I think once he missed his first goalscoring chance, the boos will start.

  82. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    costa

    thats if he plays

    there is a little media thing going around askin if he should be dropped

  83. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Bebe’s Shite- – - The Newspapers told me

    anyway if you want some more reasons how shite he is

    it turns out he cant even pass, 3 of his passes didnt even go to a team mate, they went into the goal

  84. Ignoramus says:

    Cheers Service7, for some reason your post wasnt visible when I posted the question.

  85. MG says:

    Costas

    We can always talk about the different variations of Kebab mate : )

  86. Costas says:

    @MG

    Heh, that can be equally boring. :)

    @GHTT

    Yeah of course. Who needs Wayne when you have Crouch. Rooney doesn’t love England. Not like Terry and Lampard..

  87. MG says:

    Costas

    I’m trying lol : )

  88. bchilds says:

    This probably says a lot more about Ando’s attitude than anything else!

  89. Legolas says:

    @Gotta hate tiny tears. is dat news article on Bebe’s hat-trick performance 4 real? Wow! guess den we’v got a Ronaldinho on our hands.. or maybe a Zlatan.. de few players who can draw such gasps from fans..

  90. ronaldonani says:

    i support silly bully strongly. bebe is bullish wastage. where r we going united fans? really the man is getting retired. he said we have no money but he bought unknown player with 7.4 million even the hatred city and real madrid can not buy this street boy. where is ozil fergie ? you do not have 12 million for a talented world cup player but u have money for un known players like bebe, smalling and chicarito. a big mistake in cleverly instead of sending carrick on loan to spurs. please sir alex do not make as crying bring on macheda instead of owen, the talented rafael instead of oshea baby. please please……

  91. King Eric says:

    ronaldonani – Grow up pal. What the fuck has Ozil done? Send Carrick on loan at 29? Pathetic.

  92. IMMANUELHO YAHCALBAY @ CHANCO says:

    Bebe will be a great professional if things at United turns his way and if he gets himself into the right conditions in terms of football wise. i wish him all the best no matter what people says about him, it is down to him to show the world what he got. GO BEBE, GO UNITED.
