Nani

The Portugal winger, who is currently sidelined by a hamstring problem, is a £10m January transfer target for Arsenal, Tottenham and Juventus after refusing to sign a new deal.

Ok, not huge, but a link's a link. If Nani is indeed available, for whatever reason, for the rumoured £10m-£12m, we'd be silly not to at least give it a shot.

Any Utd fans I know would personally drive him to another club...

 

[faymantaray]

I'd take him.. we are desperately short of quality competition on the wings and he's a good player who needs a new challenge.

 

[elDiablo]

I think he's toilet, but he does play well against us usually. Much prefer Zaha if possible - but just read he is a life long gooner, and idolises Ian Wright. Fuck.

5m tops.

 

[hoodlum]

Nani seems like a Harry move

 

[leffe186]

Primadonna on high wages, unless I'm very much mistaken. He might fit into our system, mind.

 

[Cravenspurs]

I do that in a second. I don't see him as competition, I see him as an upgrade. Much more inventive them Lennon and adventurous.

Nani is like that person you know who somehow has a class job, fit bird, and a top car, you know he's a completely useless prick but you're puzzled as to how he got where he is today.

 

[Snarfalicious]

£10m? If the wages are right (doubtful)... Uh, yeah.

He looked good against us early in the season. Who's to say a change of scenery where he can be a more focal point in attack wouldn't do him some good?

he always does well against us

 

[steventhfc]

Dont remember him doing fuck all at OT tbh...

He had a goal and did very well against Vertonghen. To be fair, Vertonghen was still pretty new to LB for us at that point.

 

[Snarfalicious]

His pace has started to decrease over the past year or so, and I would prefer to see him playing centrally on the pitch in either the hole or as the advanced midfielder in a 3-man midfield. He's got the passing, shooting and craft to make it work.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Didn't JJ say AVB wanted him in the summer along with Anderson. Blows hot and cold, can be a match winner but can be frustrating. Probably has more end product than Lennon although hes probably more selfish.

I think some of you are being incredibly harsh.

This is a Premiership proven, International £17m winger, comfortable on both flanks, in his peak.

In his first season at United, he bagged 4 goals & 11 assists in 26 starts. In 2008/09, he added goals to his game, hitting double figures from the wing. In 2009/10, he had a hand in 17 goals in just 33 starts (either scoring or creating a goal better than every-other-game). In 2010/11, he scored 13 & created another 17 in 50 United starts, and last season he scored 15 & created just as many in just 43 starts.

The stats don't lie, people. Yes, he can be inconsistant, but so can Bale. This is a genuine chance to sign a World class player, made possible only because United have accumulated so many incredible players at one time, and Nani seems insistant on playing hard ball over a new contact.

I agree but is he a player that some people think he is amazing after watching him MOTD or say he has had a good game after getting a assist or goal, whereas people who watch him for 90mins see he does more wrong than good and not consistent enough, like *****

 

[ChRiStOpHe]

I'm not suggesting he's up there with the Messi's or Ronaldo's of this World, but I maintain that anyone who can hit 15 goals & 15 assists in 43 starts, from the wing, should be considered a pretty awesome £10m in a market where Fabio fucking Borini goes for £10.5m.

For all his excellence, Bale plays the wrong ball or makes the wrong choice a lot more than most will admit. Nani is no different - and both are genuinely great attacking wide men.

 

[sim0n]

nein danke,... not the player that Spurs need

 

[RichSpur58]

Nani is an amazing player. If he is for sale we should get him.
