I never forgot him - the lack of news on his recovery was infuriating. It was bloody awesome to see him slot back in like he has not been out for so long.
Completely agree, great playerIt's as if the season never ended and Valencia kept on playing.I never expected him to be fit enough to last that long.Very impressive by his stamina and work ethic.
Yes. He can even score with it.Does he have a left foot?
Very much so, just a modest fella as well but with spectacular talent.Fast becoming my favourite player.
Awesome tonight.
Tony ValoniBTW it's birthday today. Happy bday Tony V.
Didnt he score with his left foot tonight?L e f t f o o t
that was capitalized in awe of the occassionDidnt he score with his left foot tonight?
I do too, I think he has more potential than Valencia, and most young wingers in the world.as much as i like Antonio and think hes a great player i still rate Nani more.
Malouda - 12 goals, 8 assists in the Premiership last year.Best winger in the premier league by a street, fabulous player one of my favourite United players.
Stats don't tell you everything. For a winger who do you take given a choice, Valencia or Malouda?Oh ... and Giggs with 5 goals and 9 assists was the best winger at our club, not Valencia.
Does he have two now?Did extremely well today! He should have had a goal but when you only have one foot what do you expect.
That instant aside he was a key player today. Deserves the praise he's getting at the moment.
only if nani's on the right. if he's on the left they're pretty much equal.as much as i like Antonio and think hes a great player i still rate Nani more.
as said, stats don' tell you everything.Malouda - 12 goals, 8 assists in the Premiership last year.
Nani - 4 goals, 6 assists
Valencia - 5 goals, 7 assists
In the previous season Malouda scored 6 goals and had 5 assists.
Back in the Mourinho years Joe Cole's best return was 8 goals and 2 assists in a season.
So I would say that Malouda is the best winger in the Premiership, and I would further add that if he is healthy then Joe Cole is capable of being the second best in the Premiership.
Valencia's numbers are comparable to those of Malouda the season before last. I would like to see Valencia step up his numbers like Malouda did. Only if that happens will he be worthy of being called the best winger in the Premiership.

completely agree. nani is the kind of player that would get match ratings from 4 to as high as 9. Valencia would consistently get 7s. I like having both of them.Nani can produce moments of sheer brilliance and is clearly a more flair orientated player compared to Valencia and thus prone to inconsistency more so, Valencia is a far less complicated player but no less productive probably the opposite infact, less moments of brilliance but probably better quality delivery and final ball to Nani.
They compliment each other quite well really, its nice to have different skill sets in your wide players, but as it stands I do prefer Valencia, the guy maybe a lot les flashy than Nani but what he does he does so well, you can see what hes going to do but yet defenders still cant stop him, love it when hes running straight at the back peddling full back rips him left and right and puts in a pinpoint cross, its great to watch and he does it so consistently, again tonight first game back for a few months and he was outstanding, hes far more consistent than Nani at the moment.
Malouda was easily the best winger in the league last season.Malouda - 12 goals, 8 assists in the Premiership last year.

Did Malouda play as a winger last season?Malouda was easily the best winger in the league last season.
Nani will be better than him IMO.
Wide midfielder?Did Malouda play as a winger last season?
Absolutely. The amount of crosses Valencia gets into the box is incredible. And the accuracy of his crossing is second to none.According to 'stats' last season Darren Bent is better than every striker in the league bar Rooney and Drogba........
According to stats Andres Iniesta is one of the least effective players in La liga.....
Numbers dont always tell the full story, Malouda had a great season for Chelsea last year (largely playing as either a forward in a front 3 or an attacking midfielder not a winger) but i wouldnt swap Valencia for him, as out an out wingers go Valencias as good as there is in the premier league, doubt youll find many better in europe tbh.
