I don't think that's the case though, it's just people are responding to what they do know, and that at the moment is only the contract issue. We aren't assuming either way, but talking about what is known. You were questioning why people haven't brought up something we couldn't possibly know about, or verify, making it a little bit pointless. The Petrucci thing is irrelevant, bad yes, and it certainly happened but I'm not sure it is indicative of Nani playing up. No need to apologize though, none of this actually matters and we are all going around in vague, gay circles.

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.

Feck sake, I can't believe there's actually a big debate going around because someone said Welbeck is a better wing option than Nani. Just laugh it off and move on.
Fair enough if you don't agree, I just think Welbeck provides a more team orientated option, with which the whole team seems to play better, flowing and fluid football.
Nani is brilliant for other reasons, but they are more individual.
Nani would probably out score and assist Welbeck if they played in the same position but I think the whole team would be better and more successful with Welbeck, as it seems like others around him enjoy playing with him and he brings out the best in his teammates.
Also, do note that I don't really envisage them playing the wing role in the same way as each other, and the way I see Welbeck playing it, is my preference and more in tune with modern tactics. Still plenty of use for Nani though, which is why I said I would 'usually' pick Danny. Also, given the theory behind my thinking, I would also prefer Kagawa to Valencia on the wing in most games, certainly stylistically, but given Antonios consistency and general good form it's hard to leave him out.
You do that and leave us to it.
Welbeck is not a winger
However, as 1 of a mobile front 3 i'm with you there

Moronic eh? I was just suggesting that a change in style, gearing towards the more fluent and mobile trio up front, might be a good idea.
City lack width? It may be true but they won the league so it's hardly disastrous is it? Anyway we would still have plenty of options left if we needed the traditional width, I'm not saying sell our wingers, I'm saying lets sometimes start with wide players that are comfortable in central roles. It has it's benefits.
Am I the only one who thinks that Welbeck is far from good as a winger. In everything Nani beats him as winger.
Thank the lord!
Yeah but if we're talking about a front 3 then I can't think of anyone in our squad who more naturally fits into that role than Nani.
I agree, think he's pretty poor and wasted out on the wing. Not on the same level as Nani as a winger.
I think we'll all agree to that. But when Fergie puts him on the left, he's not expecting him to perform as an out and out winger, so it's not really relevant.
All agree to what, that he isn't that good on the wing, or better than Nani?
Read the thread.
exactly.
Pretty much. It always amuses me how fans can get so emotionally attached to certain players that they end up overlooking any sense of logic.
The Berba fiasco was a similarly embarassing moment for certain people on here.
It always amazes how short the memories are on here.

Tbh all you have to do is look at the stats over the last few periods, which shows form or not Nani has been amongst the best in the league, including Valencia and Young in terms of productivity. So if he's doing that off form, when he hit's form he could be and typically is a major creative force.
Looking very neat and tidy tonight so far
I'm his fan, but this is nowhere near his best, but I didn't expected nothing more tbf, all this shit with Fergie isn't doing him any good.
Good to see that he's not been banned from playing football. Playing within himself so far but some decent moments.
And that's what he can do. When I see that I say pay the cash.
Only player in our club that could do that, from his own half.... and some of you would sell.
To the Ashley Young thread!
That was beautiful.
Superb. Could he be the answer to our box to box midfield woes!?!!!!
That's why he should be playing.
That's right, come at me now brah! Come on!
Nobody says he's a shit footballer, we know he's quality, but even some of his fanbois should admit there's a weird problem with Nani.
It was a great goal, showed quality there, like against City in Charity Shield last year. Yes, he can.
It's quite funny that seconds after that goal, not even watching replays, there are posters who search the Nani thread to post "whoa, I knew that, feckers want sell him, I love him".
Better in second half, much better with every minute after that goal, don't stop Nani.

If he is acting the cock yes. My preference is that it's sorted quick and a new contract is signed. If not, sell
We were keeping the ball well in their corner in the final minute there until he decided to try and go for goal.
Some would sell him regardless of the contract situation, it's these people that are the clueless nobs
Typical nani, unbelievably good goal. Then braindead in last minute and gives ball away which leads to peno
To quote myself in the matchday thread.
Yep, the cnut clearly subconsciously forced Wooton to concede the pen as well.
To be fair, it was absolutely 100% retarded stuff to do what Nani did in the dying seconds. There was genuinely no need.
Pah, he charged the ball down afterwards too. Crap defending cost us.
I'm a bit disappointed with him tonight. Thought he did well up to his goal - which was stunning - and then dropped off. He was more or less wank afterwards. Not good enough for someone with something to prove.
Thought he did well pretty much all game. People all here have been crying out for Nani to "play it safer", which he did for the most part tonight, bar the end goal. No rash shots or stupid decisions, kept the ball well, passed well, scored a great goal and created a few chances too.
What more could you want after not starting a game for 3 weeks?

I thought he lost the ball on numerous occasions in bad positions, often totally unnecessary.
I thought he had a bright match the 15 minutes or so after his goal, bar that I thought it was a slightly underwhelming match from him.
