High five.
If we get a more consistent performer I'll be happy. Nani has his moments, but they are to far apart. We should get a decent price for him as well.
Fergie's willing to tolerate Nani's little foibles up to a point. If that point is reached, it's much better to sell him on, as he'll be worth a lot.
but not his demands for £130k a week.

Would you swap Nani for Walcott?
He's nowhere near worth that kind of money. That's more than the likes of Edinson Cavani are getting.
Who in their right mind would do that?
Welbeck apparently had a £65k increase over the summer after one full season at the club, if he can get that I don't see why Nani shouldn't get a £40k increase. Hopefully he'll get back into the side when he recovers and put in a few quality performances to change Fergie's mind, I don't want to see him go unless we can do the impossible & sign Bale or Gotze.
Welbeck isnt even on 65k. He is on 50k.

Personally, I hope we do get rid of Nani, he may put a few decent performances in but majority of the time he is largely inconsistent and lazy. I would hope to see our wage bill reduced by 90k (he doesn't even deserve that much anyway).
As regards to the football fans at the city game, It was highly disgusting behaviour and not just at that game, as it seems to becoming part of a "thing" in the premier league and I think that rugby fans are the pinnacle of sports fans, as they can mingle in a friendly nature against opposition fans and can be intergrated with the home ans and not once have I ever seen any confrontations. Also there are never racial or disgusting chants and the whole thing just promotes a friendly atmosphere still holding a sense of competition. Also the fact that Rugby fans are so much more respectful they are allowed alcohol in the stands.

If United sell Nani, I would like to Sir Alex sign good young players with the money ie Christian Erikson (Ajax), Mario Gotze (Dortmund), James Rodriguez (Porto) or Marco Verratti (PSG). Or even better keep the money bring on next new breed of Fergie fledging's, lets hope there is next G.Neville, ****, Scholes, Beckham or even Giggs hidden way in reserves or youth teams?. By way I don't think it's worth keeping Nani on big wages he's to inconsistent!. Their no doubting he's got talent, how often do we see it?.
Not picking you individually mate but I have seen numerous people mention Gotze. It is not going to happen, Dortmund is going places and it is one of the best german league teams to emerge for a long while (discounting Bayern).

So what would you do then!, United is a big club than Dortmund & German league is weaker in depth than English Premier League.
Well, both of them points are quite naive because it depends how you look at it. Bundesliga is an under-rated league and actually is very close in balance to the BPL in my humble opinion.
Regarding 'United is bigger than 'Dortmund' that is not really true. They are both big teams respectively who I wouldn't like to compare. Dortmund have made big strides in the last decade, they are in a good situation financially and as you hopefully know they don't lack support, with a very impressive stadium. Historically United are bigger, but nowadays it is not that simple, both undoubtedly huge clubs.

Good answer, Most people look at trophy cabinet, and Dortmund are among of a lot of German sides that have a few German titles, but Bayern is way ahead of all of them in winning German titles and at moment way ahead in the league this season. And that not including European success!, but do agree with you over Dortmund playing really good attacking short passing possession football, some of the best in Europe at the moment!, if not best!. Plus they have a good network of scouting to pick up some great talent around the world.

though I would love to see Gotze playing in the united shirt, I have to agree with zzeezzy. Gotze would never join United or most likely any other club for that matter. The German Leaugue is one of the most physical after the EPL and certainly the German Division is on the rise and Dortmund have been a major contributer to that fact. Also they are currently the best team in Germany winning a few titles since the start of the meteroic rise, Beaten City in the ECC and are in a strong position in that comp, built their team instead of buying the lot of them, have a huge stadium and finally they have a strong financial position. All of this means Gotze won't leave. But you are right in the fact we should offload Nani and his already ridiculous wage of 90k, never mind the fact he wants 130k. I would prefer to sign a MC personally.
