Nani out; Mirallas in? Seriously though, if we can get £15-20m for him we should take it.
How do you fluke a year like that? You don't fluke a year's worth of brilliant football. At the very, very worst you could say it was anomalous, but a more fitting way of putting it would be to say that 2010 showed just what an enormous talent he actually is. It'd be a kick in the bollocks to lose a player of Nani's ability, whatever the circumstances.Should of cashed in after his fluke season really......but thankfully it's not on a free
Because Young is already on the kind of money that Nani was reportedly asking for?Exactly, and the majority of the Caf' would be happy to see both them sold this summer. So it's a bit hypocritical for some to be upset at the inevitable selling of Nani, when they would be happy to sell the other two. Even though the other two aren't reportedly demanding wages they're clearly not worth.
Not a big fan of Nani's potential departure, but Mirallas would be an excellent replacement. Despite him doing it 'only' at Everton and Olympiakos so far, he has shown real potential and is only 25. Easily better than Young and Valencia, though Valencia might actually regain some of his good form.Nani out; Mirallas in? Seriously though, if we can get £15-20m for him we should take it.
You think he'd actually be happy to leave Man Utd for Feyenoord? He rejected Zenit last Summer.The club has no choice, we will get £15m for him at most.
If I remember correctly, he didn't reject them. They said no as his wage demands were too high.You think he'd actually be happy to leave Man Utd for Feyenoord? He rejected Zenit last Summer.
And if I remember correctly, the story was that he said to his agent to ask for very big wages because he wanted Zenit to refuse that so he can stay at United.If I remember correctly, he didn't reject them. They said no as his wage demands were too high.

Nani will be sold. We need to get as much money for him as we can.It's weird how people seem happy enough to sell our best winger for around £15m seeing as in the current transfer climate we'd probably have to pay £30m+ to get someone as good as him. If he goes, we have Valencia, Young, and Zaha, I'm sure the opposition are trembling in their boots at the thought of playing our mighty wingers.
They are not trembling at the thought of playing the Nani of this past season either, when he played he has for the most part been muck.It's weird how people seem happy enough to sell our best winger for around £15m seeing as in the current transfer climate we'd probably have to pay £30m+ to get someone as good as him.

Show me the money!And if I remember correctly, the story was that he said to his agent to ask for very big wages because he wanted Zenit to refuse that so he can stay at United.
But still produced more than Valencia and Young, in almost half the games (starts)They are not trembling at the thought of playing the Nani of this past season either, when he played he has for the most part been muck.
Hm let's ask Reading about that. He hasn't been that bad mind but I guess that what's you remember.They are not trembling at the thought of playing the Nani of this past season either, when he played he has for the most part been muck.
Both also dreadfully out of form , Cina said that teams would be trembling in their boots at the thought of playing Young Valencia or Zaha, my point was Nani is currnetly not scaring the crap out of defenses either.But still produced more than Valencia and Young, in almost half the games (starts)
Oooh Reading, relegated weren't they. Lots of attacking players looked like world beaters against Reading this past season.Hm let's ask Reading about that. He hasn't been that bad mind but I guess that what's you remember.
thanks for your valuable input.
That was his signing on fee, which has been paid in separate chunks alongside his wage. His wage is nothing like the amount Nani is demanding. Do you really think the club wouldn't offer Nani parity in wages with Young?Because Young is already on the kind of money that Nani was reportedly asking for?
If he doesn't want to sign a new contract then there's nothing we can do about it. I am sure that we'll bring in a new winger.It's weird how people seem happy enough to sell our best winger for around £15m seeing as in the current transfer climate we'd probably have to pay £30m+ to get someone as good as him.

Hard to tell. But if Nani demanded no more than what he - allegedly - wanted/wants at United it seems strange the Russians would've said no. They aren't known for their frugal ways.Show me the money!
Was it the story? Or made up shit from some Nani lover?
Maybe they just don't value Nani that much?Hard to tell. But if Nani demanded no more than what he - allegedly - wanted/wants at United it seems strange the Russians would've said no. They aren't known for their frugal ways.
Certainly. The question was whether the story about Nani demanding insane wages - because he didn't really fancy a move - had any truth to it.Maybe they just don't value Nani that much?
Get rid of Young and give Nani the wages he wants. Still can't believe we signed Young.There are no rumors about Nani wanting "galactico" wages, the main rumors are about Nani wanting the same wages as Young. Currently Nani is our lowest paid winger and also our best one. Understandably he would like to be close to Young's level, which nobody can complain about.
Whatever winger we bring in, he will require higher wages than Nani currently is - like Young did when he arrived.
How is a reported wage of 120k a year a signing fee? And since when do we pay signing fees to players that we buy from other teams? Usually clubs will pay out of contract as a way to lure them to sign for them over other clubs because clubs use the money they would normally use as part of a transfer fee to pay the player directly - which wasn't the case with Young.That was his signing on fee, which has been paid in separate chunks alongside his wage.

There are plenty of hugely talented players out there - but talent isn't enough on its own -consistency is the key, especially in a big side. Sadly for him he hasn't had that for whatever reason.How do you fluke a year like that? You don't fluke a year's worth of brilliant football. At the very, very worst you could say it was anomalous, but a more fitting way of putting it would be to say that 2010 showed just what an enormous talent he actually is.

Exactly and I won't be hugely unhappy to see him go to be honest, on his day he is superb but I have never trusted his decision making and if he isn't happy with whats on offer, so be it, let him go and if we have to pay more for someone new than we get for him then fair enough.If he doesn't want to sign a new contract then there's nothing we can do about it. I am sure that we'll bring in a new winger.
Aye fair enough. Could well be making an incorrect assumption but that all seems to fit.Certainly. The question was whether the story about Nani demanding insane wages - because he didn't really fancy a move - had any truth to it.
If Nani demanded no more than what he reportedly wants from us it seems odd the Russians wouldn't go along with that. Ergo, the story seems to have some truth to it. His demands were insanely high - so they said no. But he only made such demands because he didn't really want to play for them.
Er, yes.
Damn good thing you don't negotiate for United or we'd get no one. We've got no idea what United are offering him and if our offer isn't commensurate with what others of his ability are getting then it shouldn't be it - we should be offering him at the least parity if not better considering the talent he is.Exactly and I won't be hugely unhappy to see him go to be honest, on his day he is superb but I have never trusted his decision making and if he isn't happy with whats on offer, so be it, let him go and if we have to pay more for someone new than we get for him then fair enough.
Well I back the team at Utd to decide what he is worth and if he thinks that is not enough then bye bye. You on the other hand want to give him whatever he wants. There is one crap negotiator in this discussion and it isn't me.Damn good thing you don't negotiate for United or we'd get no one.

I remember that doing the rounds in the press at the time. Andy Mitten said something along those lines in a piece a few months back as well, basically that the club were happy enough with Zenit's bid but Nani asked for a huge wage packet and then turned his phone off and laid low for the rest of Russian deadline day to knock the transfer on the head. Presumably Zenit couldn't get a hold of the land line eitherShow me the money!

No doubt; that post was more responding to the accusation that 2010 was some sort of a 'fluke'.There are plenty of hugely talented players out there - but talent isn't enough on its own -consistency is the key, especially in a big side. Sadly for him he hasn't had that for whatever reason.
Its especially concerning that even when his future was very much in doubt, he couldnt turn it on.
- so United can't do any wrong in any situation? Ok then.Well I back the team at Utd to decide what he is worth and if he thinks that is not enough then bye bye. You on the other hand want to give him whatever he wants. There is one crap negotiator in this discussion and it isn't me.
