Nani has no future with United

I've made my mind up about him. He's got obvious qualities in his play that led United to believe he would be a signing that they could develop further. unfortunately he is as shit as when he came and has little more than wonder goals in him.

Obertan came on for his debut and looked more dangerous than Nani has done all season.

I don't know what the general feeling is about Nani but I think it's been too long now for people to see him as a prospect that will come good - unfortunately he isn't good enough for United.

Far too early to dismiss him. He has at least till the end of the season to show his best stuff. If he hasnt done it, then its time to start thinking about whether he has a future at the club.

You decide when a player has no future at United?

Then you could say the same about Valencia since the two played as well as each other, except that Valencia is older.

This is stupid, our players are getting slagged off far too easily, some fans on here are worse than Alan Green. Nani is a decent player with alot of potential, being a winger he is going to be up and down but if he can smooth off the edges he can be a great player for us.

He's very disappointing

Should be producing far more than he has done

If he does get the old heave ho at the end of the season, he could have no complaints if things continue as they are

Still think he has the ability if he can just unlock the footballing nouse

Ok firstly no future? When the likes of Arsenal have Eboue, Chelsea have Malouda/Kalou and Liverpool have Voronin on their bench to say Nani isn't good enough to be part of the squad and have a future with United is retarded to the extreme. What you meant to say is he's not ever going to be to the standard of playing week in week out as first choice

Secondly Obertan did fuck all apart from miss two sitters and run about, lets see him for 90 minutes rather than 15 against a team tiring at the end of a game shall we?

Nah Valencia was the better player today. And he's only just arrived at the club, Nani couldn't possibly argue he hasn't had the chances

He was good in his first season, didn't have chances the second season. This is his third season. Ronaldo got more time at the club and he wasn't half as effective as Nani in the first 3 seasons.

That's a horrific analysis of his second season in fairness

He was often piss poor when he appeared, and for the most part didn't merit a place in the team

And it's not been much better than that this season, other than that there's less competition for a place with Ronaldo gone. And still he's not a regular starter

He was close to setting up two aswell and looked dangerous against a tiring Blackburn when gaps were opening up as they started to push on a bit.
Nani was up against the park the bus Blackburn.


Order of merit of our wingers today

1. Valencia
2. Nani
3. Obertan

They all did well, all three of them.

Problem with Nani is i dont really see where all this hate comes from, today for example i thought his final ball was poor but overall he wasnt that bad - however people ignore the good and look at the final ball and complain.

just need some confidence. Always looks like he is second guessing what his gut reaction is. When he does make his mind up, its usually a dangerous move ie a cut in shot from the left or a decent cross.

Fergie gave him a nice pat on the shoulder when he came off, expect to see him in the starting 11 on tues.

This.

I think he still is missing the final ball.but unlike Valencia is surely nowhere near the peak of his talent.So he might still fulfil his potential.

Anyways I think he has to perform this season if he is going to establish himself as a first team player at least,thats for sure.

Why do your describe this as 'hate'?

He was poor today, he's been poor for a long time, he's not making a particularly impressive impact at OT thus far... why is it not fair to question where this is heading? Why does it have to be considered hate?

Perhaps with Nani, it's always polem...

Nah

Ronaldo was voted player of the season by the fans in one of his first three seasons. He was inconsistent but he usually came strong in the latter of the season. Nani. . .just lacks a footballing brain - not that Ronaldo had one either.

Just to remind some of you, Ronaldo needed close to three seasons before he came good.

Nani is steadily improving. He's trying hard and I felt for him when he was subbed - as did the United staff.

I think the problem with Nani is his unpredictability. He can be one of the most unpredictable players in the world, because he even keeps his teammates second-guessing. The reason for this is perhaps because he never thinks ahead, everything he does when he has the ball, seems to be a spur of the moment thing. Like he has no control over his body, that might explain the seemingly random crosses and passes that baffled Rooney and Berbatov.

I can't understand what he's doing in training. He has the abilities and the technique, but he plays like he still hasn't gelled with the team at all. Strangely enough he plays a lot better for Portugal, more confident as well.

It's true Spoony. And Ronaldo was younger too. But Ronaldo was highly inconsistent in his first 3 seasons and after the 2006 WC, I reckon most of the people here thought he had to go as well. But it's not far off the mark to say that Nani's first 2 seasons are comparable with Ronaldo's.

Rooney was highly disappointing last season too, but somehow Nani always gets huge criticism. He has surely got this season, and I'll not be surprised if Fergie gives him one more.

To be honest I thought Obertan has showed more potential in his 2 appearances than Nani has. I think Obertan will go ahead of Nani but Nani will be a good backup if he wants to stay. Anyone notice how annoyed Nani looked to be subbed.

He's had alot of chances already, he's not going to suddenly develop any kind of footballing intelligence.

Do you actually remember Ronaldo in the second half of 2005/06? He carried that form into the world cup, it didn't come after. Stop mything it up.

Rooney was shocking today for the first 60-70 minutes yet people get on Nani's back.

Even Chimbonda was doing it.

Oh well, that's that then. I guess we should let him know now. It's only fair.

And can we stop comparing Nani's first few years with Ronaldo's? Ronaldo was even then one of the best wingers in the league and often the best. Completely different levels the two of them.
