The Manchester United Thread

Never said wanted him to be full back was just saying players who can and have played in them positions over past couple of seasons! A full back is not urgent imo a centre mid is and should not waste money on one when could be spent where needed we have more than enough cover in defencive areas.

We have hardly spent on anything what is with the waste of money fabio needs to go away from england for a season to a less physical league and if we keep cursing how bad macheda loans have gone than it means we should never send anyone on loan.Bad things happen in life it does not mean you stop doing the right things.We need to get a baines or alaba and sanction the anderson deal of 15 mil(Read milan/inter are interested) to have a go for a modric.

I never said anything about macheda! And fabio needs to go out on loan in our league not to some non physical league he needs to get use to prem hence why QPR seem favorites, anderson could be sold but fergie will only sell if we can get another CM!

QPR are buying bridge read they planning a raid on city reserves ! I think french league should be the perfect place for him to play a season.I dont see any other club except everton/wigan in EPL if we buy baines for him to go.

Bridge would be good signing for QPR did not know about that could be possibility for fab to go other way in baines deal just dont think would be happy on bench at united.
 
What do people think of rumours about james rodriguez as a summer signing seems to be everyday something about this somewhere?

In a word....NO. Good player but not what we need, we have Valencia, Young, Giggs, Nani (who has been really good for Portugal in Euro's).

Spend the money on the priority... Modric and a versatile CM (Lars Bender, Lass Diarra).

The rumours about James Rodriguez have popped up because of Nani's contract situation. I don't want to see Nani forced out, but if he is sold then James would be a good replacement.

Yeah nani has rejected 130,000 grand a week contract absolute **** take if you ask me, dont think we will sign 2 CM's.
 
Tom thorpe,michael keane,sam johnstone all named in england u19 squad for euro championships with sam johnstone set to be captain, on transfer note in alot of italian press/media united have beaten city to the signature of lazio CM danilo cataldi 17 yr old who is said to join up with fellow italians macheda,petrucci.
 
Sorry mate message was wrong it was meant to say nani holding out for between 120-130 a week seen few articles on web and in couple of papers, might be something in it if man utd have been scouting rodriguez?
 
If we can't get Nani to sign a new deal I would be distraught, he is an incredible player, and is still a few years off his prime, on his day he is among the best in the world, give him whatever he wants and get him to sign that ****** contract!

Give him whatever he wants, erm no?

Nani is a good player but is far too often hit and miss for me and if it comes to him being too big for his boots regarding contract I would sell him and try and get someone else, there are plenty players we could sign. Not to mention we have someone better in Antonio Valencia and Young on the left hand side was really good, so not even first team at the moment. Although he has been awesome for Portugal in the Euro's.

Why is it that United fans underrate Nani massively? any other club he would be worshipped!
Really you think Young is better than him? and I know Valencia has been immense, but when Nani is on form, he offers more to the team than Valencia, he can cut in use either foot, and is a better attacking option going forward, problem for Nani is his best position is on the right, which Valencia usually plays in.

He has had a superb tournament for Portugal and not by coincidence he is playing on the right.
I can't see another winger out there available that wouldn't cost a shitload that would be an improvement over Nani, by saying give him what he wants, I mean an improved deal, apparently Young is on 130k if papers are to go by, he is a better player than Young, and deserves to be payed more than him.
 
Nani is by far more dynamic than any other winger at united and we should try and get him to sign but at the same time fergie wont be held to ransom over his wage demands. young is on between 90-100k a week and nani is far better imo, but if we loose him i trust in fergie to bring in another class option!

When I said Young has been very good, I meant he was very good for United this season. Nani ever since he has been at United has never demonstrated his true quality on a consistent basis, for this reason maybe selling him and getting a good price and a good replacement would be a better option. But if this is just media talk and if he is not being a **** over his contract, let him stay, but honestly United is bigger than any player and Nani is not an exception to this.

Nani is our second best attacker, last season for many months he was our best attacker. He is not inconsistent, he had his off days but no more than any other wingers in the world football.

Valencia had superb second half of the season so it is easy to forget how good Nani was in the first half. For me Nani>Valencia>Young. Problem is with Valencia unable to play in any position than RW, Nani is sacrificed from his best position. But credit to him, he still delivers. He is even tough to mark, even when starts as LW, he moves to RW, centrally and contribute in build play better than any of our wingers.

Would hate to see him go. And yes give him whatever he wants (As long as it is not ridiculous wages like asking for more than Rooney).
 
Personally, I think Nani is one of the most complete wingers around. But sometimes when you are capable of so many different things in a particular situation, your decision-making can be off. I'm sure it will improve in a couple of years time. It really wouldn't be sensible to cash in on Nani at this stage. It would basically leave Young and possibly Kagawa as the left wingers (I wouldn't want us to rely on Park and Giggs as left wingers next season) and only Valencia as a natural right winger. Nani also adds fluidity to the attack with his lateral movement which isn't really replicable by the others.

Also, it is not as if Nani is the first (and he certainly won't be the last) player to try and negotiate a big contract at the club. Better and lesser players have tried to get a better contract. Hopefully, some sort of middle ground can be reached before things get messy.
 
Some football fans have very short memories

That is obviously aimed at me...

No I do not have short memory, Nani has never been consistent, he is very 'here and there' one match he is brilliant next match you would hardly know he was on the pitch. I have already stated he is good and I know he can deliver great performances on his day.

All I am saying is... if Nani is being stroppy over a new contract and is being unreasonable then he is not unreplacable, infact there are a lot of alternatives.

I disagree how people on here are saying "give him anything as long as not as much as Rooney", we are not Manchester City.. they have to be exceptionally good to get a massive contract and to be honest Nani has never reached them great heights which he is obviously capable of.
