Nani

[Metaphysical]

malouda right now is what nani is becoming.

now, nani could become better than malouda because he has more skill, speed and is two-footed, but malouda right now is top dog.

valencia will never be better than nani, but he could be as (or more) effective for sure because his style is so much simpler. consider them the new beckham and giggs.

If Nani is in the running for England's best winger, the Premiershit is even worse this year than I thought.

at Nani and Giggs being in the same league.

except nani's actually been quite good this year.

if he was nanivic you'd recognise this.

at Nani and Giggs being in the same league.

stylistically, you twonk.

valencia is the direct cross-happy hard worker.

nani is the more capricious and talented dribbling crossing shooting guy.

Touche. I bet Nani would be a lot better if he was from either South America or the Balkans.

I got what you were going for and it makes sense. But while Nani is obviously improving I'm not sold that he can take it to the real next level without a brain transplant. I'd take Valencia over him any day even with Valencia's obvious limitations. Assuming Valencia can bounce back.

Malouda is twice the player nani is and more consistent.

nani dives aswell whereas malouda doesnt.

Did someone say 2006 World Cup final?

henry handballed against ireland, is he a serial cheater then?

nani against liverpool was a joke. flopping everywhere, nani's usual behavior when things dont go his way.

the only thing i agree here is that malouda is more consistent... Malouda dives as well, and although better atm from nani, aint "twice" the player..

 

[King_Puyol]

malouda is a goal scoring, assist machine for the whole season. nani has 10 good games a season.

malouda is older though i suppose.

Malouda atm has scored 6 with no assists.
Nani has scored 2 and assisted 6.

Malouda is >> Nani atm, but Nani will be the better player.

 

[Pajo]

nani so far has 2 goals and 6 assists, malouda has none so far this year...

Malouda has scored 6, nani 2.. But malouda played all games for chelsea, and is not playing as pure winger, while nani does. The consistency thing comes with experience, so nani should get consistent enough to be consider as one of the best. Because as i said, since the second half from next year and the begining of this one, he has been more than consistent, scoren or/and assisting in every single game... ATM, malouda is slightly better, but overall nani will be better, soon enough...

Malouda atm has scored 6 with no assists.
Nani has scored 2 and assisted 6.

Malouda is >> Nani atm, but Nani will be the better player.

dont copy-paste me

Nani been very consistent since november 2009... scoring 7 goals and providing like 20 assists. He's been consistent ever since he picked it at Utd!!


*And king-Puyol why do you hate Utd palayers so much!? I mean you said you even get paid to watch them but you still hate them!?

 

[King_Puyol]

i dont hate them, its just when people say they will become amazing it's funny to me because I 've seen them play many times and they are actually quite rubbish.

nani is a diver so i hate him anyway.

 

[Metaphysical]

what malouda has over nani is mental application/consistency, and he has that because he's 30 and nani is 23. in every other aspect nani is a superior player, but it's mental application/consistency that makes or breaks a player and that's why malouda is currently superior. nani has time on his side, though.

and malouda not a diver? please. he's not on nani's level, but he certainly enjoys a tumble.

Touche. I bet Nani would be a lot better if he was from either South America or the Balkans.

can't argue with that. he'd be tougher, less greasy, and possibly less of a diver... but that last one's a tough call.

I got what you were going for and it makes sense. But while Nani is obviously improving I'm not sold that he can take it to the real next level without a brain transplant. I'd take Valencia over him any day even with Valencia's obvious limitations. Assuming Valencia can bounce back.

yeah I really hope valencia bucks the trend and returns undeterred from this injury. he was such a superb combination of pace, power, work ethic and skill. plus he did the garrincha tuck-and-go and I love right wingers that do the garrincha tuck-and-go.
