Nani?

Premiership Manchester United
by Argentina or Brazil (U3412618) 15 December 2006
comment on the article

First of all there is good news that Dong Fang Zu has been granted work permit so will be coming to United in January.

Another prediction im making is that Nani may well be on his way to OT. Sporting are looking to secure the signature of Rochemback. So I think they are trying to replace like for like. So im predicting that Nani may be comming to United in January.

It will take a pro like Larsson a few games (at least) to get upto speed wth the Premiership, so a young guy like Dong will probably have to wait until next season (being hopeful with no major injuries) but he could get a number of games from the Sub's bench which will hopefully do him and us some good.

I still want a strong midfielder to come in Jan though, hopefully Hargreaves but if not someone to cover Scholes and Carrick (Oshea to be sold, Fletcher is a reasonably good sub but not 1st XI by any means) and get in Nani, to cover Giggs (we have Park ready to come back of course, but maybe we need to give Ronaldo a break - So Nani on one wing and Park on the other with Giggs being rested also) Christmas / New year is our traditional spurt period where we gain points over other clubs, but there are always tricky conditions weather wise so would like to see quality backup coming in along with the young folk

Call me a cynic, but surely thereason Man U bought this young lad ,Dong, has a lot to do with the marketing potential and expansion plans for the chinese market and very little to do with his ability. £3m for completely unproven talent (this boy is no C Ronaldo!)

From what Ive seen of dong he has excellent touch and technique and is big and strong on the ball. I believe he can replace missin RUUD.

He probably isn't as good as Ruud yet, but he does possess a great deal of speed, accuracy an technique. As a supporter of Royal Antwerp Football Club I'm a bit sad to see him leave to be honest, so I still hope there's a smaal chance that he won't be recalled straightaway. winkeye

One thing is sure, we really would miss him in our squad if he would leave us in January. sadface

ive seen dong play in pre season and think hes rubbish ive seen better sunday league pub players than him sir alex needs to get sorted as i feel his buys are getting worse vidic and evra are both rubbish as well and solskjaer is always getting injured - was rubbish when he was fit as well - come on fergie lets buy fowler...

Im 16 and even i can see vidic n evra were super buys there the extra dimension in our defence Vidic can head the ball where ferdinand cant (i mean goal wise) and evra are attacking left back every good team has one chelski A.cole, Assou-Ekotto for Hotspur, and Arsenal with Clichy.
