He literally reported on the managers own words verbatim, how is that BS?

Leave the logic at the door mate.
Yep which makes him no different than any other journalists. Including UK ones.
It did happen. Sources and all that, no different than most football journalists/reporters on twitter.
they just want a free player for 6 months. Deck off.
He deserved it, if he didn't know that obvious difference. Maybe those poundsterlings were dumbing his brain?That reminds me when City bought Robihno, was it ? And he thought he was coming to us as he had no idea there was 2 clubs in Manchester.
This stage? at any stage I'd welcome a Nani level of RW any day of the week.
I don't think Nani deserves that 'even'. Better wingers than Nani at Man Utd in PL era: only Giggs, Ronaldo, Beckham, Kanchelskis (?), Rashford. Won 4 PL titles and 1 CL. I'd be very happy indeed with someone who could match that.
A Nani on our right flank would win us the title.
Nani had at least 2 seasons in which he was a top 5, arguably top 3, best winger in the world. The club has not had as good a right winger and dribbler since. Nani was a very very good player that was unappreciated by many simply for not being Ronaldo mk.II
Facts.
Disgustingly underrated player. The thought of him creating and scoring in this team is frightening. In a good way of course.
He was very good, never really world class, but he was also inconsistent, impetuous, extremely frustrating and at times his play acting was hard to tolerate.
I was thinking the same thing. Nani got moved to the left to accommodate Valencia and was never the same there.
Tough, best person for the job as it should be in any industry.
Nonsense.
He dropped a b@llock on Sancho, he started out with the narrative that his contract was up and in fact there was an extra year to go on it.
Depends which season Nani.
As he's been performing very well in the reserves and should be first in line to get a chance, over someone who's not even trained once with the first team. I mean come on how'd you like it if you rocked up to work and someone the same age and experience took a better job ahead of you the first day they walked through the door?
Pellistri hasn't had a single appearance in a European major league nor has he clocked up any minutes in the Champions League. He is of different quality to Diallo and therefore the decision doesn't come just from who came first and did more time in U23.
If you're speaking from Pellistri' position, you'd be vexed. Maybe you wouldn't? But maybe you lack ambition/ drive and are happy for people to get ahead of you so easily?
Nani was mostly inconsistent and frustrating when he was on the left. He was always more consistent on the right, highlighted by the only season he was given a good run there he was the best player in the league, led us to the title and was battling with Di Maria to be the best winger in the world not named Messi or Ronaldo.
No, it's none of that. Players know that they develop at different times. Diallo will come in with direct European fixture experience and might well be evaluated to be more polished.
A lot of our fanbase like to say how Rooney was moved around to accommodate other players but never realize the same held for Nani as well.
If Diallo is miles better and already at first team level then what difference does it make? Pellestri will still get his chance at some point if he keeps playing well.
What a ridiculous statement. He hasn’t trained with the team because he hasn’t bloody joined the club yet! Nobody is advocating Diallo get a chance while he is still an Atalanta player!
We haven’t yet signed him, so all these talks are premature. OGS is not an enemy to himself and will likely play those players who are ready (in his view, of course). Be it Diallo, Pellistri, Greenwood or anyone else for that matter
Ah ok then glad you cleared that up with him.
Yeah cool story
, not sure where I said that.Peak Nani on the RW was one of the best players in the league. Someone of that calibre would be the difference between us winning the title. Diallo will be an immense player imo, his talent, low centre of gravity etc. are top class, but he has barely played any first team football. So I either see him getting an opportunity or two and forcing his way into the team ala Marcus/Greenwood or it being clear he needs some time to develop and being a squad player for a little. Either way, I see him being a top player for us at some point. Has the talent, only if he has the mentality, something we are yet to see, I guess.
I’m similarly unsure where anyone suggested Diallo should get a game ‘before he’s even trained with the first team’, to use your words. The point before which he begins training with us is when he is still with Atalanta. Obviously nobody is suggesting that.Yeah cool story
But I'd disagree with that, when Nani was on it, he was fantastic, but even former team mates have said what I posted, it was commonly commented on at the time as well. No matter where he played he was the same, right or left. Yes, he provided assists and goals, but aside from all of that he let himself down a lot by being selfish and shooting when he should have passed, trying one trick too many, his diving and play acting. He could be excellent and frustrating in the same passage of play.
Gasperini had too much alcohol in the last few days
