Wow. Erm...
25mil for Nani...wtf
40mil and not a penny less.
More importantly we really need Nani in the CL, who do we have to stand up to the diving of Alves, Pedro, Busquets, Villa, Ramos, Di Maria, Ronaldo etc etc...Nani is vital to our success.
Infact I think he now has to start the CL final, if we make it...
EDIT: wait a winger with a left foot...is tintedsepia talking about Nani or Valencia

Already rejected them once to join us, I think even the rumors of linking Tony V with Madrid will be a waste of time.
WHAT?
feckING WHAT?
People would seriously consider selling Nani? Wow... I know taking drugs is bad, but I wasnt aware the consequences are so bad!
Let me tell you now that there is no amount of drugs on the planet that can get you to say something as fecked as that. That guy must be downing aftershave in his spare time or something.
Are there still some people who havent realised that Nani is one of the best players in England with the potential to become one of the best in the world?
This deserves another
Already think he's in the top 5, even maybe top 3 in Europe. Discounting the top 2 who aren't really wingers anymore.
We'll swap for Ronaldo.
Sometimes I wonder if some of these people are United fans. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions and we definitely won't always agree on things but SELLING feckING NANI???? And for 25m????? Are you having a laugh? Deary deary me!
Looks like Nani's still starting in quite a few big games despite his dip in form.
Only just seen that tintedsepia post, what the hell?!
Motherfecker ! Sell one of our best players ? Jesus effing Christ.
You do know that Nani's scored most of his goals with his left foot this season?
Disappointing today.
There were times he used to cross the ball. Doesn't do it these days. Its like he thinks he is an irreplaceable member of the team.

He's been pretty underwhelming lately, he's still always one of our most threatening players though, the cross he put in for Hernandez was fecking brilliant.
He disappointed me along with our other attacking players. They were clearly holding something back.
Was pretty shite today and has been by his high standards for a few weeks now. Maybe the knowledge that he's got competition in Valencia hinders him? Seems his form took a nosedive since he was dropped for the CL 1st leg at the Bridge.
He's gone back to that old habit of stopping, faffing about in front of the defender, and then either getting tackled or getting a ball in when the momentum has been lost due to the dillying and dallying and opposition player's have got back in numbers.
Had numerous one on ones with Clichy today and ample space to skin him and get a delivery into the area quickly but he fell into the above trap every time.
Still the best winger in the country though, just having a dip in form at the worst possible moment.

Should have scored - thought he definitely would have.
Today's game (in addition to the game against Newcastle) puts paid to the theory that his poor form was down to being shunted left, since Valencia's return.
It's a real shame that a player who has contributed so much in the season so far goes right off the boil at the crucial part of the season.
Same goes to Berbatov, although he's barely getting a chance to remind us of what he can do.

I actually thought he was our best attacker today, though that doesn't say much.
He created Fabio's chance with a very good pass as well as almost setting Hernandez up with a great cross. He also linked up very nicely with Evra, setting Evra up with plenty of space with their usual 1-2s quite a few times.
Should have done better with the finish though. I thought Rooney chose the wrong option for the move though, I was hoping he'd pass it to Valencia who seemed to have much more space.

One good cross isn't good enough, considering how much of the ball he saw. Also fluffed our best chance of the game. Should have rolled it across for Berbatov to tap in.
He's always capable of changing the game, so it was a bit strange he didn't get the full 90 minutes but that was a poor performance from him.

He was poor today, but he wasn't much worse than any of the others to be fair.
Bad time for him to have a dip in form.
It wasn't a very good performance by any means, but compared to our other attackers I thought he was marginally better. If anything just by setting up two of our best chances in the game. Though missing another big chance obviously counts against him.
Don't really understand your point that he should have made more crosses.
I can only remember a couple instances where Nani could have crossed the ball, and I think he generally chose the right option most of the time by instead of going for the cross, linking up with Fabio/Evra or Rooney. Though it's entirely possible my memory is failing me.
He did play all 90 minutes. Anderson, Hernandez and Carrick were subbed off.
His pass to Fabio was ***-worthy. Apart from that he was too silent and he should have burried his chance. Underwhelming performance overall. Just like everyone else on the pitch today. (Apart from Fabio and Evra)
It's mainly because he gets in to good positions for a cross and decided too shoot. He has been too selfish lately.
The wingers were silent because the midfielders and Rooney never forced play enough today.
THat might be one reason.
Another one was surely that Sagna and also Clichy did a very good job today. Credit where credit's due.
He did not do that much today. I was looking out for it because first chance we had in the game about 4 minutes in he cut inside and blazed a piss poor left footer well wide and I made a mental note to look out for it. I can't remember another instance of him doing that all game, even though it was not a great performance by any means. No issue with him going for goal from Rooney's pass, I was shouting Fabio to do the same in the first half as the pull back was not on to Hernandez.
Eh? How many shots did he have today? I can remember of 2. The first one was with his left foot from an angle of which he has scored numerous times this season and the second one was when he wasted that great chance.
He wasnt selfish at all today, just too quiet imo.
I wasn't particularly impressed by either of Arsenal's fullbacks today tbh. Nani, Fabo, Evra and Valencia all had the beating of them today. The problem was Rooney in the Sneidjer role, and the 2 midfielders behind him were not forceful enough with their passing for most of the game. Making it so hard for the wingers to stay in the game. That is why when Park got to grips with center midfield and started forceful passing the wider players started to give Arsenal things to think about. Then SAF wasted all that by taking off Carrick for a striker
What were you watching? Today was his last selfish game in yonks. He took one silly shot early on but other than that he pretty much always tried to do the right thing.
Nice article on Nani from the Telegraph, good to see some journalists recognising his abilities:

doesnt look like he is starting, means Fergie can put him on either wing depending if we're chasing or holding the game.
