Nani cost 18million quid which is a big outlay compared to the performances hes put in over the past few years.
He was a bit part player under the shadow of Ronaldo. Once the winker left he seemed to think he was going to instantly become the next big thing, possibly becasue he seems to have so much confidence (arrogance) in his own ability. For most of this season hes been *****, The Arsenal and Milan games aside hes been inconsistent and very one dimensional.
I think he can turn it around though, Ronaldo was a one trick pony when Fergie signed him, no doubt Fergie thinks he can mould Nani into a great player also.
Really rated Aderson based on the glimpses id seen of him at Porto and also the Brazilian national youth teams, where he appeared to be a goalscoring playmaker in the mould of a more mobile Paul Scholes. He had a long term knee injury just before we signed him and hasnt looked the same since. I also think hes been played in a deeper, more defensive role, possibly to improve him and create an all round midfielder. If we get Hargreaves back any time soon then hopefully Fergie will release the shackles on Anderson and let him loose in the final third
Totally agree with what you say about Anderson-some of the passes he plays sometimes are incredible-he has great attacking talent, but it seems to have been curbed by SAF somewhat because he has such energy as well.
On to Nani-I'm glad he's signed a new deal. I've always said given a good run, he can show what he can do. He's been good this year, and i think may cement a first team place next year.
It's a shame Valencia can't learn to use his left foot, because we could switch those two on the wings. Nani can play both, and does very well on the right, but cos Valencia can't switch (as much as I like him), Nani gets stuck on the left.
