yes but how long ago did he say it? alot of people used to have that opinion
This thread was started about 5 months after Nani changed his game, so no excuses I'm afraid. Stavros' comments are bizarre to say the least.
Even when Stavros said it it was still absolutely ridiculous.
At no point was it ever sort of sensible to rate Jonas Guttierez in the same league, or better than Nani. Even the Milner suggestion has never had its place in reality.
I know Stavros. He has a homo-erotic fascination with Nani. If it was real life, it would be called sexual tension.
According to a question from back in February 2010, Nani prefers his right.
The question, I believe, was posed by our very own CLK.
Obviously he's strengthened his left since, but it looks to be only a matter of the wing he's playing on that we're seeing so many left-footed shots.

He's probably forgotten how to shoot with his right foot.
I think SAF will keep him on the right, in the big games and the CL at least. Everybody is saying he'll be switched left when Valencia is back, but let's be honest here, Valencia isn't likely to hit his top form this season, he'll need time. I'd prefer Nani on the right now, no matter who it means leaving out, he's just that damn good.

Does Nani have a song?
Yes.
(to the tune of Batman)
Nani, Nani, Nani, Nani, Nani, Nani, Nani, Nani, FOOTBALL!
Belted out most games by most of the ground.

Lovin' that we get to bump this EVERY week!
Should be pfa poty, won't be but should be.

Nani getting some practice on the left before Valencia returns.
And he's done quite well too.
Just proves that he doesn't have to be on the right to make an impact.
What did you expect? It amazes me that some people still believe he'll perform at a lower level when he switches flanks, it's ridiculous.

Did you read the rest of my post?
I didn't expect anything else. Merely commenting on the myth that exists on here.
I don't think the lad has played well so far
He's a greedy little fecker. Love it
Remember though lads, assists don't count and what Nani did today is negligible, so Nasri is still superior player.
Agreed. In addition Nasir plays for LeArse so he must be a superior player.
Nani is the best player in Britain atm.
Unlucky not to have a goal to go with his assist first half, he's been the most dangerous player on the pitch.
I still don't think he looks as comfortable on the left to be fair, but it doesn't really matter- he's turned into an unbelievable player full stop. He would still manage to create something if you played him in goal at the moment.
Pft, he's been our only attacking threat, as usual of late. The only reason he's been greedy is because he has feck all options. Rooney has been rubbish.
Nani must have put big money on himself scoring today.
Linkup play clearly suffered on the left, as it does.
Just dont think he was all that today, may have been an off day if he was playing on the right too. Having said that another assist, which is an important contribution if you arent playing that well

He really is a class player, a good game again. Only thing missing are more goals, the way he play he should score even more than he does now (and he's already got a good record)
after 60 minutes he started to turn on the crosses and attempted link up play which mostly didnt come off but was the right decision. For the first bit was a touch trigger happy and missed some good chances to pick out a teammate.
still his dribbling is so silky that I expect him to beat the first man with ease now.
He was our only attacking threat for the first half really, but it was clear he hadn't played on the left for a while because his decisions weren't as good.
Also, he should take his free kicks with his left foot

Yeah, I think comfortable is the key word. I came on here to write pretty much what you just did.
It looks a bit restrained when he runs with the ball down the left, as if he can't really cut inside in full speed the same way he does on the right. There were a couple incidents where I expected him to do that heel chop he usually does on the right to change direction, but instead he decided to slow down play in order to cut inside. Or at least that's how it looked.
Still, not many in the world can beat players with such ease as he's showing. Incredible. He seems to read the defender's move before it's been made.
Was not too great today and still managed to be very influential. That says a lot about him.
Is it only me, or Nani completely resembles Ronaldo circa-2006/07? Play very very well in the second half of last season, then being the driving force of our team this season, scoring here and there but mostly contributing to the team by assists. While hitting the woodwork a stupid number of times. That's Ronaldo of 4 years ago.
I'm going to put in a bet that Nani will score 42 goals next season.

At least he has another assist to his stats. Some decisions today were selfish and he blatantly missed some obvious passes to his team mates. But we shouldn't be too critical. He's full of confidence and is always trying to make something happen. We need more players showing that attitude if we want to win trophies.
Indeed. His game on the right hand side of the pitch is just a lot more instinctive and natural, whereas on the left it's less so IMO. Fortunately he has so many attributes in his locker that he can still play very well even on the left. I would rather see him on the right, but football isn't about individuals and Valencia is a great player in his own right who deserves to start, so it's a tricky one. We're just lucky Nani is turning out to be so damn good really
Surprised by his finishing today though. He should easily have had two goals, especially the one around 70' where he would have put that in the back of the net any other day. He should have had his name on the scoresheet.
His decision making at times still leaves me completely frustrated.
As much as he has progressed and as physically gifted as he is, if he could mature just that much more and get away from his bouts of selfishness, I really think he could be considered in the upper, upper echelon of players in the world.
It makes me far happier seeing him try to create for others than it does for him to blast attempts every time he gets within 20 yards of goal.

I think it between Nani and Vidic as our best player. Nani is fantastic, he is always getting in his shots or crosses with great accuracy. I am still to see him be outmuscled, one of the best athletes in football.
He's a great winger already.
If he works a little more on his finishing rather than trying to burst the net at every opportunity he'll be an absolute goal machine too.

Ronaldo is a greedy bastard too, do you consider him in the upper echelon?
