We leave it to the last year and there's a good chance he ends up going to City...or Arsenal. How ironic would that be...
Dont let it happen, sign him up now.Still got two years left. It's not that urgent we tie things up before the season starts is it? We could wait till January. Players always play better when there's a contract up for grabs anyway.
He's pretty underrated by a lot of Utd fans too. It's not a rare thing for people to tell me Young is a better player than him.Just seen two of the rival fans on this board completely underrate Nani which I don't really understand. Is Nani genuinely underrated by oppo fans or just a coincidence?
That's cause he's got a better overall rating in FIFA mate, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about their football knowledgeHe's pretty underrated by a lot of Utd fans too. It's not a rare thing for people to tell me Young is a better player than him.
People are idiots who can't see past their dislike for a player, and a lot of opposition fans dislike Nani because of his past reputation.

No no, in that thing .. whatcha call it ... the real world! That mad place where the newbies on here can hang out in public areas and sprout their nonsensical shite.On here?
this !Anyone who thinks that Young is better than Nani is probably a crack head.
120-130k seems very reasonable to me considering Welbeck is getting 75k.
Where are you getting that figure from though?
It was shown and discussed here a couple dozen pages ago, obviously nothing more than rumours and articles from the daily mail, setanta and a few other outlets; cant link anyone at the moment as on ipod touch, but hence my use of "apparently". Was shocked, as were others, that we werent accepting his reported 120k demands. Google nani 120k per week contract if you want the sources, sorry (ipod).You tell us. You're the one throwing it out there.
ITVZenit bid for Nani - reports
Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg have made a bid for Manchester United winger Nani, according to reports in Russia.
News agency R-Sport say a source close to the Russian Premier League club has confirmed their interest in signing the 25-year-old Portugal international.
Earlier this summer Zenit boss Luciano Spalletti admitted his interest in signing Nani, and it now appears he intends to nail down a deal before the Russian transfer window closes on September 10.
Nani has made 195 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 36 goals, since signing from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2007.
Id ignore folk like that in future. Bizarre claim.He's pretty underrated by a lot of Utd fans too.

Exactly, what world class player, at the height of their career is going to leave Man Utd for Zenit?Because Zenit is an appealing prospect.
No chance.
the one who sees pretty much everyone around him get a bigger contract while he can't presumably get 130 k himself, and we're all aware he's one of our best players, I'm pretty sure he knows it 2.Exactly, what world class player, at the height of their career is going to leave Man Utd for Zenit?
Can we please nip this shit in the bud?the one who sees pretty much everyone around him get a bigger contract while he can't presumably get 130 k himself, and we're all aware he's one of our best players, I'm pretty sure he knows it 2.
It might not even be Zenit, this could just start the bidding process, other teams would come in too if they knew they had a chance of signing him.
I desperately want him to stay, more so than any signing, and I just hope he signs the contract extention soon, because I don't like "playing around" with this kind of stuff, tends to end badly for teams who wait till their player's got 1 year left on his contract.
I'm aware of the fact that we don't WANT him gone, I'm just saying there's a level to which playing hardball makes sense. I'm not against going our wage structure etc., but honestly compared to the players around him (especially in other teams, but recently also somewhat in United) he's being underpaid. We all know that he's better than most other players in the PL and his wage isn't "even" in 6 figures.Can we please nip this shit in the bud?
There are clearly negotiations going on right now, which have been going on for some time. If they drag on until he has a year left on his contract that's not "waiting", that's working hard to hold onto the player.
Well that would explain why he's being offered a new contract, which will make him a lot better paid.I'm aware of the fact that we don't WANT him gone, I'm just saying there's a level to which playing hardball makes sense.

How do you know there isn't an agreement to sit down with him in September to continue negotiations? He's been at the Euros and on holidays, we're busy tying up deals for Kagawa, RvP, Powell etc...... He might be quite happy to wait til things die down before resuming negotiations. That sort of stuff happens it doesn't by default spell doom.I'm aware of the fact that we don't WANT him gone, I'm just saying there's a level to which playing hardball makes sense.

I don't, but neither do you.How do you know there isn't an agreement to sit down with him in September to continue negotiations?

How many senior players have Utd lost in the last ten years due to not giving them a fair wage or letting their contract run out without giving them a new one?
Indeed. I'm sure Nani would also be thorughly thrilled at the prospect of half the league having already prepared a chant for him.I'm sure Zenit's racist fans will take to the signing of a dark skinned player.
