Going to raise a contentious subject now, Nani.
Would we have done better keeping him at the club and seeing what LVG could do to him? He is in quite brilliant form for Portugal and is back to the player that he was in that season where he got something like 20 assists and 14 goals (don't know the exact figures so don't make all replies corrective ones).
Would he be offering something different up front? Him and Di Maria, tricky, pacey players who bring a goal threat.
If he keeps up this excellent form then it wouldn't surprise me if we kept him for next season and just signed a young winger like Depay. The expensive wingers are mostly off limits anyway like Reus, Bale etc so it may be wise to have options of Di Maria, Nani, Depay and Januzaj - on paper that sounds pretty strong.

We will never know but he has had more than 1 chance to prove himself

I doubt Nani would have been used Fresh. I think he would have contributed more than ADM, but there is now way he would have been played.

How ironic that Nani is looking like a better player than Di Maria at the moment.
I hate to say it, but i think it was a massive mistake signing Di Maria. The guy just doesn look like he wants to be at the club. That 60 million, as it stands, has gone down the drain.

I won't be at all surprised Fresh if DiMaria isn't even here next season, so maybe we could be looking at more than 1 new wide player.I personally think Nani could have a lot to offer, but he's has plenty of chances and not taken them. I think he will be sold, maybe to Juventus. Though I am not sure if their interest remains?

No. I argued he should have been given a last, last chance last season. That bit me in the ar$e. Plenty of chances, Nd just because he's doing well in a sub-standard league, changes nothing.

As it stands, betty, I don't think I want him here next season.

He will be here if we can't move him and his wages are not going to make it easy. Given how poor we are down the right side, i do agree he could not be any worse than Valencia offensively, the issue is defensively he is an LVG type player as he is no wingback.

sorry meant to say he is not an lvg player
