Malouda is.
Valencia has been absolutely brilliant for us since he came in. A lot of pressure was put on his shoulders - being "Ronaldo's Replacement" and all that crap, I thought he just got his head down and concentrated on being Valencia and I'm pretty sure Rooney will credit a fair percentage of his goals last season to some great work from Valencia on the right.
But I saw him sat on the bench the other day and felt a tinge of sympathy for him, Nani was doing stuff he just can't do (or certainly doesn't do with anywhere near enough regularity)... such as cut inside and shoot and score with his left foot and I wondered... what the hell does this mean for Valencia?
We do need Nani to do what he does on the right, on the left, it's as simple and as difficult as that.
What if Nani was Serbian?
Malouda's serbian?
It doesn't meter if Nani is English, Serbian or Portuguese he is the best winger right now in the PL.
Only because Malouda isn't an out and out winger. More of a left sided player as was determined in the Bale thread where some Sky pundit said Bale was the best left sided player.
Nani is much younger than Malouda too and almost as good. Plenty of time to become a vastly superior player than Malouda has been, and I'm hoping he does it and stays with us. I now genuinely think by a month into the 11/12 season at latest he'll be sensational.

Wouldn't it be ironic if he had an absolute stormer this season and Real Madrid bought him £70million for him next season after all the crap he has had to endure from certain quarters within the United fraternity over the last few years?
I must admit, I have had my doubts about him... even againt West Ham the other day, there were frustrating moments but they are all the more frustrating because you know he is capable of better.
Nanic, it sounds good.
I don't know why you lot are getting so defensive about this. Malouda is the best, and has been the best winger in the PL for the last season..
Nowhere am I even criticizing Nani, it's just that Malouda has proven he is better over the course of a season and even started better this season.

Maybe but would you swap him for Nani? And I mean REALLY swap him. I.e. we get Malouda and Chelsea get Nani?
Very true.Malouda did very well wherever he was played (except LB) last season.He started this season even more impressively
agreed.
cant really ask that, you have to remember Nani is a lot younger and could end up being better as even with the age difference he's not far behind. for that reason i wouldn't swap and Vuc might agree with me here. but ATM Malouda is better IMO.
I dunno. I've watched two of the three Chelsea games so far and i don't think Malouda has played outstandingly in either of them. He has four goals, but two of them were just tap-ins that happened to bounce to him, and the other two were hardly spectacular. Goals is goals of course, but i think some are over-rating his performances somewhat in these games so far; he's been feeding off the good work of Didier Drogba more than anything. Now, i'm not saying Nani has been leagues ahead, he's missed a few chances - penalty included - but at United right now he has been the danger-man, along with Berba, dictating the attacks and has been instrumental in our play more so than Malouda has for Chelsea.
Nani is an interesting but inconsistent talent. In one game he can reach a level very close to Ronaldo's to then vanish, in the next game where players like Giggs and Park seems to be a better option. The talent is there but its obviously needs to be polished.
I think that this season we'll get a lot higher level of consistency from him. He's a far better player now than he was twelve months ago, far better, and i put that down to his maturity much more than any technical factor in his game; maturity doesn't come and go like form or consistency imo. Combine high levels of skill with maturity and experience and you have a brilliant player; Nani has a way to go, but his recently developed attitude and desire should take him forward as a player this season, he'll be picked as a first choice winger in 95% of our matches and he'll gain valuable experience and confidence from that faith lent to him by the manager. He could become our player of the year imo, the signs are there, he has the talent, and i believe now that he too has the drive.
Malouda is the man. Can defend, scores goals and creates them.
Are we at that Shapre/Giggs stage where we can only have one of Nani and Valencia in the team or is Nani good enough down the left for us? Is he currently a better left winger than Giggs now that Ryan's losing his pace a bit, or are they just different? How does Park fit in? Still, at least Fergie's paid to think about that and not me!
Not polished, let loose. He needs to start regually and build up his confidence, he's close to being a brilliant winger he just needs games now to prove it.
Malouda is overrated
No, I think Malouda is a quality player, and it's actually good to see him consistently showing it in England.
Though he seems more natural on the right i still think Nani can be at his most dangerous during his link-up play with Patrice down the left. Evra is so good at making those runs down the line behind or into the box between defenders that doubling up on Nani just isn't a viable option a lot of the time; two vs two, Nani and Evra have been practically unstoppable together recently; unfortunately though Evra's final ball isn't always the best so we're often failing to capitalise on his breaks, i think Rooney's returning form should help with that though as he finds himself better space in the box with which to make himself more targettable.
Even Ancelotti said he's been their best player so far (although it's only been 3 matches).
I would be very happy for him as he's a player I like he wasn't playing for Chelsea.

Exactly, People are just wanking themselves silly over anything in a Chelsea shirt due to the amount of goals they are scoring. By the end of the season when we have our trophy back Nani will be rightfully known as the best winger in europe.
Nani
Valencia
Any old Chelsea shite.
Any reason to post this
How though? He scored a load of goals and set up even more last season. This season he has already scored 4.. He even has a right foot and can defend also. Complete winger.
Malouda is at the moment a better and more consistant footballer than Nani. Could change though.
He scores alot of tap ins
his open play leaves alot to be desired and is far from as exciting as Nani
and when people start mentioning defending it means they are clutching at straws
Nani's a lot younger and has a lot of potential to reach Malouda's level or even exceed it. I would keep him and I would start him every game. He should be the first choice winger in the team, he offers more than Valencia, who when shut out can be pretty anonymous. Nani on the other hand can do nothing for one half and then spring into life and score, which to his credit he has started to do more of.

Why so defensive, Malouda is the best in the league, theres no shame for Nani to be behind him at this stage in his career.
He isn't though,that's the point
Malouda is better than Nani at the moment. Malouda is a more intelligent, consistent and efficient footballer than Nani (imo).
Nani has the ability to be the best winger in the league and one of the best around - but he doesn't have the consistency imo. He is far better than he used to be as now he shows flashes a couple of times a game at least, where as before it was every few games at best. He is still prone to making the wrong decision too often or delaying too much - but it is getting better.

I find Malouda very straightforward, that's all he is, efficient and consistent. He doesn't have that flash of brilliance that Nani offers, simply doing well in a Chelsea system that suits him.
Man comon, Malouda raped the United defence from the throw-in line when he set up Joe Cole for that goal last year.. He can pick up the ball and dribble, not just power through players with pace. He is a great player, no doubt about it.
malouda to me reminds me of valencia with a much better goal threat
he doesn't get muscled out of games like nani does though he isn't as skillful as nani
on their best days there still isn't a winger in the league as good as Giggs IMO

I agree. I don't think he's the best in our league. Malouda had a better season than him last season. He's coming on nicely. He's better on the right than the left. He's learning his trade nicely now has he is fully integrated into the team.
He could easily be the best winger in the league by the end of the season though.

hes off to madrid
Is Nani the best winger at United?
Malouda is effective, but I've a feeling that if Nani were playing for Chelsea he'd be scoring lots of goals too. Thats just their team philosophy right now.
Nani is more unpredictable and more likely to make something happen on his own.
Most likely if you had one of them, you wouldnt swap for the other one. Its just that close.

on form nani is brilliant.
nearly every week, and for all of last season, malouda was chelsea
most effective player.

Thats not really true. He picked it up in the second half of the season the same as Nani did. He obviously still had a better first half of the season than Nani, but Nani had an injury to overcome. Once he did so he played great stuff.
