He seems to thrive when he's allowed to roam and be creative. Unfortunately, that may not jive with LvG's methods, unless he specifically sees that and gives him license to do so.
Yep, he's another one cut from the same cloth. You can lump in Di Maria in the same group as well.The 'Wayne Rooney' syndrome.
.
The only rationale had to be that the fans were offended by Nani attempted something more complicated than a pass to Rooney.
Yup, is he good enough to be allowed such licence? He's in terrific form at the moment but when it comes to the elite teams only the stars of the team are given that freedom. I hope we can find a place for him somewhere.He seems to thrive when he's allowed to roam and be creative.

Yup, Nani is very much a Robben style of player. I would say that Nani still has the potential to be better than Robben (though it would be a tough ask) as he is more versatile and less of a one trick pony.Like I said before ; Robben had a great dip in form now look at him. Over 30 and dominating. Nani's skill set and top level is near Robben.
I'm not suggesting Nani will reach Robben's current level but it shows a flair winger can return to form after a poor period.

Please sell Young.we should get him back and sell Young and Valencia, simple as that.
Yes IMO. His ball retention is very good, has the skill in tight areas and creativity is very good when on form. I always thought he was going to develop into a number 10 eventually, but of course it went wrong. I do think though he was at his best for us when roaming around. If he's stuck on the wing you limit his abilities.Yup, is he good enough to be allowed such licence?

I think if we're gonna implement that type of role into our squad it will be Depay for sheer counter attacks and goals. However given Nani's assist record it could be a brilliant idea IF he was to return.He seems to thrive when he's allowed to roam and be creative.

I agree.It'd be pretty fecking incredible - and indicative of the amateur and desperate nature of some of our dealings - if we paid to have him leave, only to have to pay to bring him back again.
Yeah !!Our media are getting swarmed with this report of Van Gaal wanting Nani back in January. Hands off "our" Nani
I hope you're right, very few people have the ability to win a game on their own, Nani does.Yes IMO.

You can only laugh at the utterly shambolic transfer SNAFU that Woodward has overseen since Fergie slung his hook.It'd be pretty fecking incredible - and indicative of the amateur and desperate nature of some of our dealings - if we paid to have him leave, only to have to pay to bring him back again.
Woodward talks about how available David Gill is to him and that he can always pick his brains for advice. I can only imagine some of the calls.You can only laugh at the utterly shambolic transfer SNAFU that Woodward has overseen since Fergie slung his hook.

Gill: Hello?
Ed: [In a timid voice] David?
Gill: Yes, who is this?
Ed: David, it's me, Ed. Ed Woodward.........don't be angry, but....it's, it's happened again, David.
Gill: Oh, for feck'S SAKE.

Paying 100% of his wages is ridiculous.We'd have gotten absolute peanuts for him this summer, now we could get a really good fee or (unlikely) he might even stay and be a top player for us again, he certainly has the confidence back.
Depends how you look at it. If they wanted £22m for Rojo, or £16m and a year of Nani who wouldn't get a game here, for free (at a cost of £4m in wages), then it's far from ridiculous, it's common sense.Paying 100% of his wages is ridiculous.
Same here. Couldnt give a feck about how stupid the deal looks etc, for all we know it was either much more cash or Nani on loan for a year with wages paid, considering he wasnt in our plans anyways as we looked set to go 3-5-2, it isnt really daft.Would take him back in a heartbeat in January. With us giving up any new formation and reverting back to what we always did playing him would make sense
instead of Adnan who still is struggling imo. What a monumentary feck up the deal would have been though
I don't really know the details from the contract. What Sporting has been saying in the media points to the impossibility. The media has been mentioning a possible recall under a compensation. Nani's will should count too eventually. It's all speculation at the moment.I thought it was impossible to bring him back until the summer due to the nature of the loan contract.
If for nothing else at least he seems to have his confidence back at Sporting which was always his biggest problem here. He is the definition of a confidence player and if you got Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime in the stands booing him off this will not help much at all. Glad he is doing well. Always had a soft spot for himSame here.

No. NoYep, he's another one cut from the same cloth. You can lump in Di Maria in the same group as well.
I assume you are being sarcastic...I hope so at least.
Interesting, usually the contract states the length of the loan and there are no exceptions included, the only way we might have some sort of loophole is that we are paying all of his wages.I don't really know the details from the contract.

Nani has great potential, but potential to be better than Robben is potential to be the third best player in the world, doubt he has that.Yup, Nani is very much a Robben style of player. I would say that Nani still has the potential to be better than Robben (though it would be a tough ask) as he is more versatile and less of a one trick pony.
Rooney playing as a false nine, and then Nani/ADM/Januzaj as the wide players wouldnt be a bad setup at all.
