Everyone in that stadium knew there was absolutely no possibility that he'd ever consider passing after going round Schwazer, but, can't really blame him for it.
He has about 8 times as many assists as Nasri and Bale combined, anyone who thinks they're better than him is a footballing illiterate.

Its laughable how Charlie Adam can get a nod for POTY and Nani is overlooked.
No player deserves a nod over him. He's blatantly been the Premierships best player this season.
Without a doubt. For me, our best player. His contribution and involvement these days is insane, and the level and length of consistency is unreal.
He's been our best attacker at least for quite awhile. Absolutely no doubt about that for me either.
He's fully firing again after that injury and today he ran the show for us. Fulham's defenders just couldn't handle his trickery and change of pace. In terms of wing play he's virtually irresistible in this form.
have replaced Ronaldo.
No. I'd say we've finally replaced Beckham.
greatness from him today. they had no answer but to hack him down. would look good in the 7 if owen moves on.
Just read that 'Nani has no future with United' thread for the first time. Gold!
Best winger in the country playing on either the right or the left wing. Just as dangerous from both sides imo.
Irreplaceable atm.
18 PL assists.
9 PL goals.

Clearly the best winger in the league. The stats speak for themselves. Sadly I don't think he'll ever get the plaudits he deserves because he's 'not as good as Ronaldo'.

Ah, infamous thread now. Can't recall if that's the thread where elvis expresses has rather ... wrong opinions about him.

"Nanis still inconsistent you never know what your gonna get"
Honestly whats the point anymore, if that was Bale today youd have a 3 page spread izzing all over the place, seems this inconsistent tag will always be trotted out regardless of what he actually does, and regardless of the FACT hes been the most consistent player of any in the league all year.

He's only getting better, and he's just 24. Another season like this and it won't even be debatable. Some were reluctant to acknowledge his input last season, this season it's that but to a lesser extent, it's getting harder to deny his praises, when he's on another level to most players.
I reckon in a year or two we could have a worlds best on our hands. I don't think it's outlandish either, the rate he is improving at is phenomenal, and his end product, overall consistency and input in games is becoming huge.

It was, just read his bit now where he says more of the same and get rid!
Are there any posts in that thread worth reproducing...for us all to laugh at?
Is there a winger in the World that has player better than Nani this season. Hard to find one... the media could easily make Nani one of the top 3 players in the world, they just don't seem to like him in England.
I must admit that I had severe doubts that Nani would come good, and by that I mean that I nearly hated the sight of him...I couldn't have been more wrong.
He's clearly the best winger in the League, and arguably the best player on our squad. He made the Fulham keeper and defense look pitiful on the Valencia goal.

There's tons, you need to check out the three threads I mentioned in the 'That Lad Nani' thread. I don't want to embarrass any posters so I'll let you dig through them. However, here's one, because it's so definitive.
Jammy said:
Oops.
I didn't think he'd make it, to be fair. Thought he didn't have the footballing brain...and perhaps the power to succeed. I've said even worse about Anderson over the last 24 months. Glad to proved wrong by any of our players....

It really is isnt it?
Doesnt reflect well on some of the more established posters on here.
Thought he was a goner around a year and a bit back, but I have a feeling Sir Alex had a word with him during that period Nani was supposed to be injured about improving his game and less dwelling on the ball.
..because when he came back his play changed completely, he even alluded to it in an interview if I believe.
Players like Nani make me think there is hope for lads like Anderson and to a lesser extent Bebe.
We'll see where this ride takes us but it's always exciting finding out.

Yeah but for every Nani there's a Djemba Djemba. Not all our signings are going to be successful, so unless you've got a timemachine, it's all guesswork based on what you've seen.
I can understand some of that, although I don't really understand why people commit so early into a players career and say whether they will make it or not. I mean, I can, it's just a view, but then there's got to be a level of trust with Fergie and at his age, just 22 it was hardly a time where he couldn't improve and develop, also he showed much of his talent early on, so it was more a case of time and settling in. Fergie himself came out with an interview this year I think where he criticizes fans expectations of players, especially young players, and he goes on to say that one or two years is not enough to judge a player, and that it's a case of nurturing that talent out of them. He says fans want too much too early on, which is unrealistic, and it's the rare occasions where you see players come in at this level and make an impact so soon.
However, it's the posts that just show intense dislike for a player and all the talk of Fergie being really upset with him and on the verge of getting rid, despite the very opposite being the case with Nani talking about his personal relationship with Fergie, and how he's always helped him, that made me laugh at that thread.

Anderson has already, to a lesser extent, proved his worth.
Was very good today. Just needs to stay fit and have a proper pre-season with us.
Bebe I'm not sure, but I have seen far too less from him to make my mind about him.
Well I didn't think he'd make it a season or so back...I thought he lacked the stomach for it. For me, he just wanted to be Ronaldo, but since his mate moved on he's buckled down and proved himself. Same goes for Berbatov, after two seasons, I thought...nah, he's not going to show us what he's worth, but credit to him, he's been very good this season despite warming the bench from time to time. I think you can make a judgement after two seasons....I'm sure I'll get a few more wrong in future.
Whats strange is that even back then (Nani has no future thread) he'd already scored against the other "big three". And if I'm not mistaken he did it in 2 seasons.
I'm pretty sure there was a discussion about it after Park Ji Sung managed the same thing last season(?) and I dont remember anyone doing it quicker. That should have given a small hint that he had the ability to be a top player.

That's fair, it was last season, not his first or second one.
Although the things you say he suffered from back then, which he did, were physiological issues more than anything else, and for me he was always at the best place to help that, so again it was just time. Same with Berbatov. Ability was there all day long with both players, just a case of adapting to our quality, this level, and our demands.

Nah, how?
Domzi was always very angry whenever i played Fifa with him, i think he's just an angry fella.
I was defending my own comment from "that" thread in another thread on here, earlier on.
To be honest, pointing and laughing at people who found Nani and incredibly frustrating and inconsistent player at the time is a bit pointless, seeing as he WAS an incredibly frustrating and inconsistent player.
In all my years watching United I can't think of any other player in whom the penny just dropped, so suddenly and so dramatically. The vast vast majority of people on here acknowledged he had huge potential from his very first game for United. A majority also found his second and third seasons to be a real disappointment. I don't know why pointing this out at the time was so laughable, seeing as that is actually what happened. Anderson's had a similarly up and down career. I'm fairly confident now he'll get his United career back on track but this shouldn't gloss over the fact he's looked out of his depth at times - including games as recently as this season.
There was a very good reason Fergie took both players out of the side for such a long time. When you look at other United youngsters that had similarly enormous potential (e.g. Rooney and Ronaldo) their progress in their early 20s was a lot smoother.
Yeah but anyone could see that Nani & Anderson had talent which just needed honing, in terms of technique.. both were very good even before they joined us. Whether they had the application and in Nani's case the footballing intelligence to make it, was definitely questioned but in terms of talent.. I don't think anyone could've written Anderson & Nani off, even during their worst phases.
I don't think that's what people are laughing at though Pogue, more about the comments wanting to get rid, or people dismissing him entirely. I don't think it can be argued that he wasn't inconsistent. It's not the majority of people in that thread either, but there are some ridiculous posts.
