Unless you work for the club in accounting, you simply cannot say that so "matter of factly".
Don't discount the possibility that he might actually be Wayne Rooney.
Ah feck... or Coleen, or a member of Wayne's family, or a mate.
Shit, actually there's loads of possibilities.
Wasn't 180k pretty much the accepted figure?
I really don't see a problem with his wages, he's by far our most marketable player, and our best player, the money and fanbase he brings into the club more than covers it.
130k is a good wage for Nani.

Never question the minger Nick.
Wait... so KingMinger22 is Coleen Rooney?? 
That shite article has at least produced some interesting information...

Yes I read the article but I don't tend to read into the figures which are sprouted from God knows where, it's the way the story has been issued, stinks of, the only reason we sold him was because he was so unreasonable. IMO the club are laying the foundations to sell Nani. I really hope I am wrong.
I don't need to read between the lines with you, your just bloody wet behind the ears.
So you aren't believing the figures but has based your whole assumption on the way the story has been issued by a Sun reporter?
Well done, you have got problems in your head.
We need to just stop feeding all these articles, you never know what can come of them if enough people keep posting them. Honestly, the standard of journalism is that bad and modern day footballers are so easily swayed that it's fecking dangerous posting articles like that. 
Better to take it into here then boys if it goes any further.
Some of you will seriously never learn will you?
I honestly can't believe some of the shite some people still spout regarding Nani, it's as though they will never get the idea out of their head of who Nani was 4-5 years ago.
Sheer fecking madness. I honestly can't believe anyone who even understands football a teeny tiny bit can think that Young is in any way better than Nani.

I <3 Nani
Where's that video btw?

It's between him and Nani for me, and in a one on one situation, I'd take Nani every single time.

Some people will just never warm to him and can't look past that. It's quite baffling.
I'd say Hernandez is the best at getting in the close range goal scoring positions but this season his actual finishing was quite lacking. Last season we saw how good at one-on-ones he can be though. I'm sure with the Summer rest he'll be back at his best.
But yeah, Nani's finishing is lethal, he doesn't miss when he's clean through, but he's a winger so it doesn't happen a lot.

The fact that people have said that Young is more consistent than Nani is testament to some peoples' prejudices. Young for his entire career has been 1 game on 2 games off, whilst Nani in the last 3 seasons has been far, far more consistent (and consistently at a better top level, too).
No doubt finneh.
He really doesn't, when he went clean through from the half way line in the Community Shield last season you knew instantly we'd won, no doubts about it.
Whatever about saying Valencia is as good as him, but it's an absolute no contest between him and Young, Nani is better than him in every way as a player, except for maybe defensively but even then, he's constantly improving that aspect of his game.
I think it's a much more interesting question to consider Nani v Valencia. There's a 2 year old thread I could bump, but I didn't want to anger the gods.
I'm a huge Nani fan, I think he has as much skill on the ball as anyone whose not Messi, so I would like to see him given the spot on the right, where he looks much more confident imho. But Valencia is a better defender and I think if you looked at the goals or assist per hour stats that Valencia is just as productive as Nani.
I'd keep faith with Nani because I think he has a higher ceiling. But since they seem to have a strange tendency to get injured at opposite times it's rarely been necessary to choose between them.

To be fair to Young, he has had a stop start season due to injuries and it was his first season with us. It's not easy to make the transistion from Villa to Us in just one season. I'm not saying he is better than Nani, because he quite clearly is not. But I think his best is yet to come for us. The end of season performances against Swansea and Sunderland were promising.
Aye, it's a bit annoying how little they've both got to play together in the team since Valencia joined us. We'd be absolutely devastating on the wings with both of them playing consistently.
The way Nani played against Everton in the 4-4 and his link up with Valencia when he drifted over to the right side is what I want to see more of next season. feck Hazard and feck Kagawa we've already got enough talent in the wide areas we just need to use those players better
It's getting very frustrating explaining for poster after poster that Kagawa and Hazard are not wingers.
Although I agree we have great talent in the wide areas.
Tell me about it.
Goalies?
Full backs both of them.
They're not wingers but that's where we'd play them
no it isn't
How's his contract situation anyway? Or is this going to be done after the Euros, assuming he stays of course
We wouldn't play Kagawa there unless we had many injuries. But Hazard would start left.
Gay rush doesn't seem to understand that saying someone would start on the left does not mean they are being called a winger.
Why not? What possible evidence is there that Fergie should and will drop Welbeck & play Rooney as the furthest forward? Park best position isn't wide either but that's where he's played his entire United career what makes you think Kagawa would be any different?
They aren't traditional wingers, but they can(more so Hazard than Kagawa who didn't play that role much, if at all this year) coming in off the wing. Which is exactly what we could do with. We have 3 traditional wingers at the moment and mostly play with 2, it's a dated style, and we are slacking behind because of it despite how good 2 of them are.
I also doubt very much Kagawa would feature often on the wings, especially if we keep the 3 we have already plus Hazard, he'd be back up into CM now and then most likely instead if we don't invest there on top of signing these two.

Yet again Redfighter you talk utter shit. You claim having them here will mean Nani will be drifting out of the team yet have just said that Kagawa isn't even a winger.
It's blatant from what you are saying that you haven't seen either of them play, so seriously, give it a fecking rest. It's embarrassing.

Red bummer doesn't seem to understand that Hazard's best position is playing through the middle.
Probably because Red bummer has never seen him play.
I prefer GayBumBrusher personally.
That may be the case, but it'd be quite hard to really know since he's played most of his recent Lille career(past 2 years or so) start as the left of a forward 3 or on the left of a 4231.
Most CL games, French cup final...what you'd consider the important stuff, he's been on the left.
If all 3 of our current wingers were fit we'd have Valencia on the right, and Nani/Young on the left. Two of those are players playing on the left who are right footed and who would naturally drift inside anyway. What would Hazard in a wide left area drifting in-field give us that Nani in a wide left area drifting in-field doesn't?
If we sign either of them they'll play centrally.
