Yeh, because Valencia's been crap, well-deserving of being dropped.Him on the right, Nani on the left and Rooney in the centre would be

Well..we could always ''Lampardize'' or ''Cahillize'' Valencia.....Yeh, because Valencia's been crap, well-deserving of being dropped.
As good as Valencia is, he's not a match winner. He's in the same guise as park, which is nothing to be ashamed about. Two very good backup wingers, that can still take on most teams and win. But like Nani and Rooney, Sanchez seems to have that little bit extra.Yeh, because Valencia's been crap, well-deserving of being dropped.
Rooney needs Valencia or he's not as potent a "match winner." Who assisted most of his headed goals?As good as Valencia is, he's not a match winner.

You don't pay 18mil for a backup winger. He will stick to the right, while Nani get used to the left. Thats about it. If there is any backup, it would be Park and Joe Cole if he signs. The transfer fund would be better spend on a creative midfielder as we are seriously lacking in that deptAs good as Valencia is, he's not a match winner.

We have Nani, Valencia, Park, Obertan and Cleverley so you could say we have a surplus but you could also say it's lacking in talent. (realised talent, that is.)Would be a silly signing due to our surplus of wingers.

well hes hardly in that category either.
I never said he was. I was simply pointing out that whilst we have a number of wingers most of them are young 'n' learnin'.well hes hardly in that category either.
Tim Vickery has been calling him "the real deal" for the last 3-4 years, and when he mentions a player, I generally take notice, so I've been keeping track of his progress, particularly with the national team in World Cup qualifiers.Well, based on watching him for 20mins i can say he's a very good player.
Sanchez > Ronaldo.
In all seriousness though, he looks a very good player.
That's the sort of thing that comes with experience though. I've never seen this kid play before and he's really really impressed me.Seems like a very good dribbler but sometimes he could release the ball quicker.A good player no doubt
Sounds familiar.Fast
Skillful
A bit greedy
Goes down easily/dives
Wouldnt bet against him scoring in the second half.
Same for me.I like dribblers like him but I don't like when they keep the ball too long.That's the sort of thing that comes with experience though. I've never seen this kid play before and he's really really impressed me.
Still, I can't see us going for another winger. We have three first team players competing for two spots on the wings, and an emerging talent in Obertan that Ferguson is easing into the side. I'd expect to see more appearances from Obertan next year for sure. As for Cleverly, I thought he was more of a central player...?We have Nani, Valencia, Park, Obertan and Cleverley so you could say we have a surplus but you could also say it's lacking in talent.

I'm only watching the game with one eye but he does seem to mix it up with some decent one and two touch play. Works his ass off too. Interesting player.Seems like a very good dribbler but sometimes he could release the ball quicker.A good player no doubt
I think i've only seen him play once (in a friendly for United) and he played wide left i think. I'm not too sure though.Still, I can't see us going for another winger.

it was against valencia, he scored too, cleverly looks to have a bright future.... but this sanchez player looks pretty dirtyI think i've only seen him play once (in a friendly for United) and he played wide left i think. I'm not too sure though.
He's primarily a winger at present, which is where he's played for Leicester, Watford, England u21s etc. He may move into a more central position later in his career but for now it is best to regard him as a wide player.I think i've only seen him play once (in a friendly for United) and he played wide left i think.

Cleverly has almost exclusively operated on the right hand side in the U18's and reserves, and then at Watford on loan. However, I'm not convinced that it will be his eventual position, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up becoming a central midfielder.Still, I can't see us going for another winger.
