Fair enough.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Thing is Fergie is still using him, even if not loads so I don't think he's being completely frozen out. He didn't have to bring him on in the second half as he had other options. I reckon Fergie is disappointed with him but he still recognizes his worth and we'll see more of him over the nex month. He might not be playing great but for me his performances have picked up, looks like he just needs a run of games atm. Other thing is he could be doing what Wenger is with Walcott and not involving him loads until he signs on.
Yeah he hasn't been frozen out completely which can only be a positive sign. Something just seems odd about the whole situation. I didn't even think of the contract issue, it could well be playing some part.
Pity his shot just before we equalised didn't go in. He needs a goal or a very good display, to boost his confidence. If / when he finds some form, he could well be a vital player for us again.
Yeah def, just needs a run of games for me. I reckon cause we have so many players fergie has been wanting to give others games. I'm hoping that we merge our formations to get a blend or both where I think nani could play a big role.
It was hardly a big statement by Orton, many others (myself included) before the match felt that Nani should've been playing ahead of Hernandez as he would offer more in a 3 man system up front than him, which isn't exactly a bold statement because he generally would. It turns out Hernadnez ended up having a really good game, and we probably saw his best link up play... well ... ever at times.
To call people feckwits and make remarks like that because they said these things before the match even started is just childish.
The type of players SAF was looking to purchase is probably an indication he wants to move Nani on to a new club. He also needs to play him or his value goes down, and Nani needs to play well to prove he has a future here or get other clubs queuing.
It does seem that way. It appears that if he had gotten Hazard or Lucas things may have been different.
I don't get it myself, Nani isn't a player who can just come on at half time after not playing 2 games and suddenly become class again, he's based on confidence and SAF just isn't giving him the game time he needs. We saw glimpses last night of how good and talented he is, but his overall play and passing was poor and it just looked like he was nervous out there.
I mean seriously, he was our best player against Spurs, and SAF dropped him for the next game. Why?
I'm pretty certain it's the contract issue. SAF is obviously disappointed that Nani isn't signing the contract on offer and probably thinks he isn't worth more than that.
I'm sure if Nani were to sign a new contract tomorrow, the problems will go away.
I just posted this in the Anderson thread. I think Nani wants to stay and still has a passion for the club. It's not based on much but it's the impression I got.
Same for Young and Valencia then.
I thought he was decent yesterday. Quite a few sloppy passes admittedly, but linked up well with Cleverley and RVP. He showed good intelligence by playing quick one-touch passing with Cleverley and Rafael, created a good opportunity for RVP where he should have received the ball back and got a shot off, and also did take a good shot which forced the keeper into making a good save. Considering he hasn't played a lot of football recently, I'd be more concerned if he wasn't involved in the game, which can hardly be said for his performance last night.
Has Lynk lost his marbles?
The stage is set. He starts against Chelsea, plays a blinder, scores the winning goal 3 minutes from time, celebrates by running over to Fergie, lifts his top up and underneath is the message: "I'll sign tonight, boss."
He could do all of that and high five Sir Alex and some people on here would still claim we're selling him to "Italy" as they have done for years.
To which SAF smiles and lifts up his own shirt to reveal the message: "Dont sell your Italian phrase book just yet."
Thats how i see it too. He needs to sign the contract if he wants to play regularly.
And as I said in another thread, you lot are looking too much into it. He celebrated the 3rd goal. Are we really trying to glean something from an isolated incident? I would think his playing time would be more of a concern than how he's celebrating.
No I even said in my post I may be reading too much into it. It was an isolated incident and I didn't see the reaction to the 3rd goal
It wasn't the face of a happy man though, wether that means he has had enough or he had a bad pastie supper for tea - who knows? He just didn't look happy.
I'd be happy enough if he gets a start at the weekend and gets some game time thereafter.
‘I’m fine [at Manchester United],’ Nani reportedly told Portuguese newspaper A Bola.
‘I know my future and I also know why I’m not playing more often.
‘Only God knows what awaits me.’

Better yet the contract is actually taped to Nani's chest. He does a back flip over Sir Alex, pulls out the contract mid-air, and presents it to him on landing. Nani's agent comes running over alarmed, only to be floored by Mike Phelan who folds his arms afterwards and gives Nani a nod of approval. Sir Alex let's out a hearty laugh and starts speaking to Nani in Portuguese as they leave the field together.
Yes. I think this would convey an appropriate sense of occasion.
I just find it appalling to point it out though. There have been many other matches where players have done the exact same thing. FFS, even Giggsy does it at times. Admit it, the only reason you brought this up is because of Ando's playing time. We have more games to go and as Ando said in an interview, as long as he keeps his fitness up, he'll play. In my eyes, there's little to be worried about, let alone pick out.
Yes, the only thing that is going to prevent Anderson from featuring heavily is injuries.
I'm sorry, should I change that to "potentially being involved"?
Reminded of this classic (from Plech): http://i51.tinypic.com/2rm6vee.jpg
I wonder who we'll sign as a replacement...
We already signed Young..
Not a replacement for Nani.
Shit, looks like he's going then.
God's a twat with information.
God's a twat with information.
Obviously not, but that's what it feels like.
Well we tried for Lucas and Hazard in the summer. I suppose we'll look towards James Rodriguez or Isco if we sell Nani.
Lets not sell Nani. He needs to start games to produce the goods.
Neymar. Done deal.
United and Neymar...what a circus that would be. Still, potentially amazing player.
Things keep going from bad to worse regarding Nani's situation at United.
Just please don't let "god" give you the same answer as he did Ronaldo, I'd be really saddened and pissed if that happens.

That's some respect Jorge Mendes gets from his players.
