it's amazing how much a player's reputation improves simply by not being anywhere near the team.

You're not seriously comparing what Nani achieved here to what Anderson achieved here, are you?it's amazing how much a player's reputation improves simply by not being anywhere near the team.
let's bring back anderson while we're at it.
This could be argued for any player, I think since that Madrid game hes been in and out of the team but its clear SAF (final years) and Moyes didn't trust Nani enough to give him a run of games because he wouldn't always track back or be as productive as we need. Players like Nani are great when on song but when they're not its a different story.No one has suggested he has become an out of this world player while away - it's simple recognition by those that don't dislike him that he has shown a lot of his old ability that made him an excellent player for us over period of time. Nani has always been a confidence player, when given a run of games and the backing of the manager, he has typically played well. He had a year and a bit of injury after his best spell with us and subsequently failed to get back in favor to get that run of games. While away he seems to have captured that confidence and very if given a chance could be a very good player for us.
Just saw a twitter with a 7.3M? for Nani. Is someone taking the p*ss.
There is no way that the likes of Cuadrado, Sanchez, Walcott, Depay, Sterling are 5 or 6 times better than Nani.
We will have really lost the plot if we keep letting our fringe players leave for peanuts.
I think you need to come to terms with this. The same quality player goes for about 4 times as much when on their way up than they do when leaving a big club as surplus to requirements.
All those are young or at the peak, Nani will turn 30 next year and is coming towards the end of his career. Young players like Depay and Sterling who might have 10 years at the top ahead of them are certainly worth a lot more then a injury prone 29 year old.Just saw a twitter with a 7.3M? for Nani.

Exactly. Never mind "wow" I'd settle for an example of a good 90 minutes performance from him in the last few years. That ill-fated game against Madrid was probably his last good game for United (albeit < 90). That was over two years ago. A lifetime if we're talking about dips in form. Unless anyone has any more recent examples?
His ability to play off of both feet at a high level makes him much more unpredictable than any other wide player we have currently. Although, I think he is better on the right because he combines his lethal right footed crosses with the ability to cut in and shoot off his left.He'll suit our 433 better than any wide man we've got at the club, Depay aside. He's a proper wing forward. Fast, athletic and a very good finisher, we'd be foolish not to give him another shot in a balanced formation.
Whether or not he wants to come back is another discussion.
Would Nani even suit the way LVG wants to play? I mean LVG has repeatedly said he needs players who play with intelligence and can adapt to what he requires of them, whereas I'd have thought Nani is a prime example of a player who lacks that sort of intelligence and instead plays on instinct. If Di Maria has struggled to adapt to LVG's demands then why would Nani be any different?
Besides, I can't imagine LVG would think too highly of Nani opting to move to another club for the year rather than staying to fight for his place.

I would rather continue to play Young or start Januzaj. People want him to come back because of a decent season in Portugal? Don't make me laugh. He is going to be shipped off and rightly so. He'll do well for a team like Inter, help them get back into the Champions league.
Class is permanent? When was the last time Nani was class? I'd rather keep someone that had a pretty good season for us last season than someone having a good year in the Portuguese league and hasn't done it for us since 2011. Nani has had so many chances here and hasn't done it yet you still want him to come back? What has changed?And you want to keep playing Young because he had a decent season last year, and Januzaj had a nothing season and you want to play him. It's the old adage of class is permanent and form is temporary. Young was on form last season, do doubt about that, but Nani is a class player on a different level to Young.

How long does Nani have left in his contract?
Surely it's only worth bringing him back and putting him in the squad if he's actually going to be starting? A squad role Nani is likely to be a useless Nani.
3 years at least if not 4. We gave him a new 5 year deal at the start of the season with Moyes.

Saw earlier this morning espn's top 25 CL goals. One was Nani scoring from a tight situation in the box. I cant remember the opponent but it reminded me of a George Best goal.
just checked. Yes it was in the 3-1 win.Wa
Was it that ridiculous one for Sporting this year? I think it was against Maribor but I could be wrong.
Should get a buyer at that price hopefully.According to reports the club as valued Nani at 12m Euros.

given the current exchange rate, thats pitifully low for a player that still has much to offer - I hope we get more but then we always seem to let players leave too cheaply
not really considering that he is better than all the other wingers we will be having on our booksHe's on huge wages though, 12m is decent for a player who's about to turn 29.

And by performances/stats based on the most recent season.Only on the paper
And by performances/stats based on the most recent season.
Didn't include Memphis, whoops. 2nd best then.No, that's Memphis. Or did Nani also score 27 goals? I don't think Nani has a place here anymore, we've already currently got 5 options out wide.

I can't take you seriously, you basically brought Memphis to United. On what basis is Memphis better than Nani?
