Would there be no wars if everyone was like Valencia?
Also, he has a very squeaky voice, not what one would expect.

Valencia's Attitude

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.
It would be nice if he tries to give interviews in English.
I imagine he gets asked all the time and he just gives icey stare and then everyone knows not to bother. He spoke some English at the Awards do, he can do it but he's shy.
Maybe Its my brain but Im certain I read this story already this year ? Like months ago...???
Valencia could stop all wars with a mere glare at the belligerent parties....but it's all part of the greater plan that Valencia created when he laid out the Sun, the Moon, and the stars.
Have a feeling Kagawa is of the same ilk. 
Imagine if players with the talent of a Sturridge, or Morrison or even Malouda had that attitude. Would be world beaters.
That's unsettling.
Yeah, it's not news, which is why it wasn't the subject of the thread.

Look at that fecking stare at the start, the very first couple of seconds....That is Valencia in a nutshell. Emotionless.

That video is clearly fake. Far too much smiling and not enough Terminator-esque, emotionless bad-assery.
It reminded me of 'Game of Death' where around 10% of the film is really Bruce Lee and the rest blatantly isn't him.
So, to summarise, that's settled then....Valencia is Bruce Lee crossed with The Terminator.

So does Rooney though. I put it down to 'game face'.
He comes from a modest background and I'd say he appreciates everything he has in life. Any top European club would struggle to find more of the same with the quality of performance to match. A humble power house, does his job and fecks off home. Big fan of his.
I fecking love tony v.
Classic united winger, chalk on his boots, gets the ball, beats the full back and crosses the ball. That goal against blackburn, toes it in, stone faces the world. No bollocks, just football, total football.
we missed your pace, and your serious face, walking in a tony wonderland.
Can you imagine tony v special pink boots and a record contract? Can you feck!
Tony V > Messi

Love Tony V. United legend in the making.
On the field he does have that no-nonsense look about him, but if you read his tweets he seems like a totally different, personable dude off the pitch.
Wait... Valencia can't fully speak English? After 5 years in English football, that's a bit weird.
Berry dificool.
...
That's quite shocking actually, 5 years more than enough time for a Spanish speaker to get to grips with the language. Oh well.
There are a lot of Cockneys and Scots that can't fully speak English. At least Valencia has the excuse that he was raised in a non-English speaking country.
Tevez can't speak English. What a cnut!
This is Valencia we are talking about, not a normal fecking Human....He doesn't have time to learn languages or even basic skills. He is a footballer, absolutely nothing else, that is all he does.
For Valencia breathing is an optional extra.
Here's a reminder as to why he's a fecking brilliant winger. Last season was just a blip, so the anti-valencia brigade can feck off.
I hope the "old" Valencia returns next season.
I predicted his bad form to last quite long-term just a month or two in to the season but some people who want him sold are a bit out of line.
He should be benched until he reaches his old form though and if he doesn't he shouldn't be anywhere near the starting eleven.
I think constantly being played may have had a negative effect on him. One can guess that there were a lot of envy from other benched team-members who considered themselves more worthy of starting than him.
In form I think he is the best traditional right midfielder in the world(There aren't many around though.).

I'm pretty confident that once the season is underway, worries about our wings suddenly being a weakness will evaporate. Valencia will be back in form, and I think there's a decent chance that Nani will too. If nothing else, he seems the sort of player who might benefit from the honeymoon effect of a new manager. Suddenly we'll be back to having the best overall resources on the wing in the league (especially having added Zaha).
We'll try to return to worries about our shit CM, only to discover that we're playing Carrick and Thiago behind Kagawa.

If he had a left foot he probably would be.
I think that is the exact reason to why he is a traditional winger though. If his left foot was good he would be a modern winger instead.
I don't think Fergie told him he wasn't allowed to cut inside, his own limitations forced him to never leave the side-lines.
Not saying that every traditional winger is weak with their left foot though.
Yes Tony, change your style. You only made it as far as Man United on one foot.
I wonder how many great young footballers have been killed by the footballing geniuses harping on them to change their style to fit close minded orthodoxy. Maybe that's why there are so few interesting, exciting British players who will take on defenders with whatever they've got.
Did we ever have a thread discussing/highlighting Scholes retardery? It's one of the most endearing things about him.
Have you read his book? It's amazing. Utterly child-like. I think after every page, I uttered a really camp "awww".
No, is it a picture book?
It may as well have been written in Crayon. Mine is signed which at least means I can be certain he wrote at least 4 words in it.
