    I hate how people get on players backs for getting injured.

    Fully fit he is easily one of our best players, he consistently put in top drawer performances last season... when fit.

    I hope that Ronny can sort him out.

    I think in a way his injures have helped us keep a hold of him if he had 1-2 seasons without getting injured i think a BPL club would have snapped him up, He adds a new dimension to our team when he is fit and on form.

    It hasn't really benefited us either though, because we haven't been able to get a run of games out of him. I would much rather get a couple of seasons where he is brilliant for us and sold on, as opposed to playing a few games then out for months.

    The wee man is injury prone,it's not his fault.
    Asking do you like or dislike him,pretty pathetic IMO.
    He wears the hoops and seems to
    Always try hard for the team,enough for me

    I am looking forward to seeing him back at his best. Hopefully he can finally overcome his injury problem as he is top drawer on his day.

    Theres about 20 Scottish players id take before Anya, is it only me who thinks hes pish? he's fast and can run but he's a lightweight runner, not even like he is fairly solid or strong like Agathe(not that Agathe was hulk hogan but he could outmuscle players to burst away from them) he has limited ability on the ball too, average at best player.

    Id rather Celtic signed Pawlett or Armstrong instead of Anya if it came to it. He's just not near Celtic class, Niall McGinn wi a tan.

    He used his body well to round Clyne on more than one occasion and won a few freekicks.

    You didn't compare Anya to Forrest though. How about Anya can deliver a better cross?

    I didnt because theres no need to compare them, Forrest is a far superior player.

    It would be like saying "Brown or James McArthur" or "Lustig or Whittaker".

    A fully fit james Forrest is absolutely miles ahead of anya. Literally miles better in every department. I don't really rate anya that highly at all, he's lightning quick, but technically very average.

    Anya only even gets attention on here cause he plays for Scotland as well, his own Watford fans even hate him. I barely ever watch the Championship but id bet he isnt one of even the top 15 wingers in that League, Johnny Russell for one is far better than him.

    He beat Clyne once, and it was early in the game, and I'm pretty sure he ran it out of play after he did go past him. After that though, it was a very easy night for Clyne.

    I've seen you say this before regarding a player at Ajax, and then an Ajax fan on here totally contradicted you. Have you been on Watford forums to find this out, or know many Watford fans?

    A fair amount of our fans dislike Scott Brown for christ sake. Fans in general are * idiots
