Important point. Nani suffers from Ronaldo comparisons because, like every player in the game besides Messi, nobody in the world has as few off days as the artist formerly known as CR7. It is, to my eyes, self-evident that Nani is not as good as Ronaldo but that doesn´t mean Nani isn´t world class. Nani´s clearly world class, he´s just not consistently as on it as Ronaldo is but nothing is that reliable besides Messi and the VW so he shouldn´t lose sleep over it.But then again, Ronaldo is a one-in-a-generation kind of player. You don't need to be as good as Ronaldo to earn the world-class tag. Nani is our best and most talented player.
Nani´s development has been astonishing. 2-3 years ago I thought he would go nowhere with us but ever since that Arsenal game in early 2010 broadly speaking he´s been superb. Key to his development I feel has been growing older. Nani unlike Ronaldo is not blessed with a great arrogance about his ability and when he was younger his confidence could ebb away for the smallest things. As he's gotten older he's become more mature in his thinking and less self-conscious and its made him a better player. In the next 2-3 years as he continues to gain more assurance and add that to his game it will become impossible for the PFA and FWA to deny him the accolades he already warrants.
