Nani

Whats your early thoughts on him?

Ji Sung Park with a good shot, if given space.

Good player who can potentially be great. Was forced to carry the creative burden of the side at the beginning of the season and did so remarkably well. Can be frustrating at times, due to his inconsistency, but that'll pass.

Good signing.

Honestly Watcher, you know more about football than me but potentially great? C'mon.

good player

needs time though

my only worry at this early stage is his apparent lack of footballing brain.

He is different to what we have already however so that could also be a good thing. I have faith he'll be a quality signing though in time.

£#%&!ing gash...will probably do well at spurs though motwyw

he is 20. Give him a chance.

He will prove to be a very good signing as you suggest.

harsh. You love being negative don't you Fuzzy? I think he looks very promising.

I think he's alright in that respect. Just loses the ball far too much but that can improve. But I honestly have seen nothing to suggest he will be great.

I believe so. He has all the attributes (technique wise) to be a top class player. Just needs to learn to play the ball quicker and improve his decision making. The lad has bags of talent.

I mean he's like Park thus far.

Some of the stuff he tries to pull off is silly, like lobbing the ball head height for no apparent reason and then almost taking a Roma players head off.

He's a much more potent threat then Giggs or Park on the flanks.

But he still lacks the passing selection and general football brain that Giggs has despites his obvious dip in pace.

With a bit of time im sure Nani will come as Evra and Vidic demonstrated.

Still don't see the point in playing that headless chicked that is Park on the flanks.

His first touch is soo bad it normally brings him to far inside or to far outside that its a throw in or free kick.

I am all for giving him a chance.

Just stating my one concern...and its quite a big one, but im sure his talent will shine through.

He looks like the Ethiopian lad from South Park.

what watcher said. he's got all the tools to be a great player. lots to learn, especially in terms of decision-making, but fantastic potential and, from what i have seen, a very good attitude.

In Ronaldo's first season all he brought to the table was an ability to dribble past people with little end product... You could see the potential which he is now reaching...

Nani is doing ok and given a run in the side would be better - he just needs time. He is far better than Park.

I disagree

If Park can keep himself fit I would start him in front of Granny every day of the week.

Mental.

Park's industry lends itself to the Benitez school of football, but Nanis shown more in a few fleeting appearances & goals against Spurs & notably that run from the halfway line & 30 yarder against Boro that he's well capable of making an impact. He's got a decent first touch as well compared to Park, that lad can run a £#%&!ing mile but he's not a very good footballer. Happy to have him in the squad mind as the attitude goes a long way.
