Big Nanners
9 league goals + 1 in Europe
13 league assists (top of the pile) 8 of his 10 goals have been with his weaker foot. Ronaldo aside (because he is £#%&!ing ridiculous) - our other wingers have contributed (in their best league seasons): Beckham: 11 Giggs: 13 Kanchelskis: 14 Back in August I said he'd be a player of the year candidate if he carried on the form he had at the start of 2010 - he's already got more goals & assists than the whole of last term & far more key contributions than Nasri, Bale, Malouda etc... Good article from David Pleat on his contribution Saturday (during the match thread I was banging on about how it was him vs the whole City defence on his tod). I wonder if he'll get recognition from the football writers or PFA come April. He certainly deserves it. |

Re: Big Nanners
As long as SAF doesn't £#%&! him off to the left wing as soon as Tony comes back he'll continue to grow into one of the best wingers in Europe.
I'm sick of the @#%&!s at OT who moan about him week-in week-out, despite the fact that without him going forwards we would be nowhere near the threat. His 3 touches for his goal on Saturday were first class. |

Re: Big Nanners
I remember my dad saying of Ronaldo in about 2005, as yet another wayward shot flew into the stands rather than using a better option, 'don't worry, eventually, he will make the right decision, or they will fly in.' I think the same will eventually be true of Nani, and he's not doing half bad as he is.
His ability to beat a man from a standing start is spellbinding. The number of times I have seen him fronted by a defender or two, seemingly stifled, only to throw a jink, a feint and a touch of acceleration to find the space he was after, usually leaving the defender flumoxed, is amazing. I think he did Zabaleta 6,7, 8 times, left Kompany clueless and on his arse too. Love Nanners. Wish we had another one. |

Re: Big Nanners
Commented in the match day thread that in the first half he was unplayable. Improved drastically since Ronaldo left and stepped up to the plate following Valencia's injury.
Fergie surely can't move him back over to the left, give Valencia a chance center midfield as he's had various international games there and done well. |

Nani can also do it playing from the left. If Giggs was 26, then we'd be able to keep Nani on the right. But he isn't. |

and i don't doubt that nani can play well on the left, but he is stronger on the right, do you agree? it makes no sens for valencia to play on the right at the expense of an in form full of confidence nani. |
