The Manchester United Thread

Disagree, Rooney>Nani. Oh and by the way Kagawa has produced a lot of magic for Dortmund.
He did ( Kagawa). Lots of assists and goals.. Still I think he's not the player who you rely on when your tactic fails.
 
Apparently he's lowered his wage demands twice, I'd say it's our club being unreasonable. If he's going to lower his demands, United need to meet him halfway and pay a little more than they wanted to.

I'd like a list of these realistic alternatives...two-footed, comfortable on each flank, unpredictable, young and capable of recording 10+ in goals & assists. You'd be a better scout than me if you can come up with a few names, that's for sure.

It depends on what he has actually lowered his demands to. If he has lowered his demands to say, 140k, thats still pretty high. United have a wage heirachy and we largely stick to it, and its important we do so.

He's is better player, who could argue with that ? But the point is, when your tactic fails, you need to have player like Nani who can solve the game with some lucid move. You have Mata, City has Silva, we have Nani.

Nani is like a Ronaldo, just worse (which is not a criticism). Nani is more of a winger than Mata and Silva, would rather go outside etc. Mata and Silva like to come inside and do their damage there.

Nani isnt similar to Ronaldo at all.

Position doesn't matter. Well it does, but winger or attacking mid, it's not important. Whats important is that Nani, just like Mata and Silva has bags of flair, and, like I said, when your tactic doesn't work, he will be there to make something special. And no, Nani isn't anything like Ronaldo.
This is Sir Fergie as manager... not Steve Kean.
He's not a machine. He can make tactical fails, we saw it this season. It's rare, but it happens.

I'm a big Nani fan, but first line is way way off the mark.

United with Ronaldo were much better team than without him. Our team in 2006-07 was just amazing and Ronaldo was just brilliant. He scored bags of goals in 2007-08 but his allround play in 2006-07 was just amazing.

As of now, Nani is our best or second best attacker in the team.

No. Ronaldo is selfish, he needs 10 shots to score a goal. The whole play was build up for Ronaldo. If you stop Ronaldo, you win the game. Now, we have more attacking options, due Nani who scores and assists. His stats are better than Ronaldo's ( at United). Yes, we won ECL, and that was very sexy football. But we had Fletch, Hargo, younger Scholes back then.

2006-07 season we didn't have Hargo, Fletcher was no more than fringe player. And Ronaldo didn't shot from every possible distance.

United with Ronaldo was completely different team, much better and team that many teams feared.
 
WHUT? BUT THEY'RE BOTH PORTUGESE AND PLAY ON THE WINGS, SO WE MUST COMPARE THEM.

You really think i am that stupid to just compare them because of that? I see similarities in their game play but one can take it to unbelievable hights where as one cannot.

They both play with football boots? I honestly can't see many similarities at all in the way they play..

You can see they both have similarities, it may not look like that because one is light years better than the other. It's like comparing Drogba and Jon Parkin's style, pretty similar but no-one would believe it because one makes it look different because of how much better he is.

One is a two footed inside forward, the other is a two footed winger. Being better doesnt come into it. End of discussion.

I see similarities too. But there are similarities in Fellaini and Heskey's playstyles, and they're not similar players at all.

This is a stupid argument. Ronaldo is a direct player, a striker from the wing, who plays to get on the end of a final ball, be it a pass or cross. Nani is indirect, a proper winger who tries to supply that final ball.

I must have missed the part where I quoted you. Obviously I think you're stupid because of a post I didn't even reply to.
