<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> According to Diario de Noticias, Sporting and Man Utd. were in hiding last night negotiating a transfer fee for Nani. Chances are it will carry on for another day and thru the night but it can very well get done in the next few hours. Even though Sporting is adamant in the $20 million Euros fee, I think they'll be happy with around 18 million.

I would be delighted if we got Nani.

Would be really happy going into next season with Nani and Hargreaves to bolster the midfield and Evans, Pique & Rossi back to bolster the squad as a whole if we dont sell everyone.

That side with one or two defenders sold would make me very happy.

puts him along side titus bramble yes, but in terms of footballing ability way ahead of most defenders within the top 4 or 5.

It's a bit like saying he'd be one of the best defenders in the world if it wasn't for that wooden leg though. You can't just ignore one of the vital elements for a top defender in your assessment.

It's like saying Forlan was one of the top strikers in england, as long as you ignore that pesky inability to put the ball in the back of the net.

Forlan! Top stuff. As much as I didn't want to believe what I was seeing when he first started out at United, it was pretty classic.

This miss especially is my personal favourite, for the commentary alone. "It's unbelieve-ol!" "Put your head in the shame!"

Good old Diego Forlan. Whenever his name is mentioned my mind usually draws a blank. I know all about him but not off-hand like I can with some players. Yet whenever I think long and hard about his time here I remember that he scored some utter peaches. Not to mention THAT goal against Chelsea (that's when I knew we would win the title).

Tackling back (and winning the ball) with no shirt on was also pretty good. icon_biggrin.gif

This is from the Manchester Evening News review of the season. some interesting ratings in there tbh. Wonder if some of these people actually watch the games

EDWIN VAN DER SAR: Could make an impressive DVD of his match-winning saves (remember the one at Anfield from Peter Crouch) but his confidence and command was under question in the run-in 7

TOMASZ KUSZCZAK: Four clean sheets in his six Premiership starts is a good return. Generally he was sound, but Ben Foster poses a huge threat next term 6

BEN FOSTER: Very busy at Watford and recognised as the one player who might have kept them in Premiership. Challenging for England and will undoubtedly test Van der Sar's grip on the senior gloves next term 8

GARY NEVILLE: Like his fellow Class of 92 mates, he was having a brilliant season until ankle ligament injury wrecked the end of it. But right-back role is still very much his 8

RIO FERDINAND: Magnificent campaign. Cut out all those mind-wandering moments this season and has been at top of his form. Partnership with Vidic has helped him 9

NEMANJA VIDIC: Even the Serb was questioning his ability to cut it in the Premiership. He needn't have worried. Sir Alex Ferguson rated him best defender in country and that's hard to argue with 9

PATRICE EVRA: After trials and tribulations of last season, he was a sensation up to March but a few niggling injuries allowed Heinze to catch up again 7

GABRIEL HEINZE: Rediscovered his old form in the run-in but the defensive style that initially wooed Old Trafford has become too erratic for some 6

WES BROWN: Having been ousted as Ferdinand's sidekick early in autumn it looked bleak for the Mancunian, but he was a cornerstone of United's title tilt when the injury curse struck 7

MIKAEL SILVESTRE: Had dropped down the left-back pecking order and become a bit-part player. Dislocated shoulder in March summed up his misery 5

CRISTIANO RONALDO: United are not a one-man team, but where might they have been without their sensational winger and goal scorer? Team mates latched on to his form and confidence 10

MICHAEL CARRICK: Slow start to his United career. Conservative passing frustrated many but then he grew in stature to form unexpected successful link with Paul Scholes. Still more adventure wanted 7

PAUL SCHOLES: The rejuvenated Salfordian has looked a different player, having overcome his eye problem. The source of so much of United's exciting play 9

RYAN GIGGS: One of the elder outfield statesmen, he has split the fans with his contribution. Liberal amount of rolling back the years balanced by some infuriating times 7

JOHN O'SHEA: One of the much-maligned early-season fringe men who struggled in Copenhagen and at Southend, but late-season form and goals have turned his campaign into decent one 6

DARREN FLETCHER: Always seems to be more appreciated internally at club than by the punters. But nobody can doubt his industry and he won some over with late-term contribution 6

JI-SUNG PARK: Injuries have wrecked the Korean's season. Only really fit from mid-December to end of February, when he was in and out. Knee op at end of season poses big question over his future 5

ALAN SMITH: Concerns for him when he hit the wall in autumn after returning from horror leg and ankle break. Usual heart-on-sleeve stuff from him during the run-in 6

KIERAN RICHARDSON: First half of campaign was nondescript and fell out of favour with United support. Late season, he got it together better 5

LOUIS SAHA: Fergie couldn't envisage an XI without him in first half of term. Learned how to cope without him as his injury jinx struck again. Didn't endear himself by saying that he was not 100 per cent fit when Reds needed his goals in the season's run-in 6

WAYNE ROONEY: Best goal haul and yet arguably not as red-hot as last season. His engine never gave up during a draining campaign 8

OLE SOLSKJAER: After his three-year injury misery, he made an astonishing return with 11 goals. An infrequent starter and will no doubt have to accept bit-part role in the future 6

HENRIK LARSSON: Just what United needed to get them through the late winter. Invigorated dressing room and scored a few vital goals 7

DONG FANGZHUO: The Chinaman had one late chance to show his worth at Stamford Bridge and obviously needs more time to find feet at Premiership level 4

CHRIS EAGLES: A goal as a sub at Everton and industrious full league debut at Chelsea. Made most of his limited opportunities 5

Not the worst I've seen. At least they gave Rio a nine instead of hideously underrating him like the rest of the world.

Evra, O'Shea, Smith and Fletcher should all have had an extra point but as ratings go that's reasonably decent.

Those player ratings aren't too bad. In fact I'd be within one of all of them except for the clearly xenophobic Park hate and the omission of a '0' after John O'Shea's 6.

On which point, can we do season reviews and player ratings yet or are we all still waiting for the bloody awards which were meant to be two fecking days ago to be dished out?

Queiroz and Gill in Lisbon.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Controllers of Sporting and Manchester United had congregated this morning, in a hotel of Lisbon, to argue the transference of Nani.

A private meeting, to the highest level, where they had been David Gill, director-generality, and Carlos Queiroz for the Manchester United; Miguel Ribeiro Telles and Carlos Freitas for the Sporting and still Jorge Mendes, entrepreneur of Nani.

The meeting started morning early.

For return of the eleven hours, David Gill and Carlos Queiroz the installations of the hoteleira unit had left. Both very made use well, with the Portuguese trainer particularly amused. How much the words, nothing.

David Gill is the man of the Manchester United that closes contracts and deals with the most important questions in the soccer of the club. Its presence in Lisbon indicates that it is not about one any preparatory meeting, but yes of a patrol of negotiations to the highest level.

About half hour later it was the time of the entrepreneur Jorge Mendes to leave the hotel. “I cannot make commentariesâ€, had been the only words, when collated with the possibility of Nani if to transfer of the Sporting to the Manchester United.

For this height, already they had also left the hotel Miguel Ribeiro Telles and Carlos Freitas.

There doesn't seem to be any videos showing off his dribbling ability. Mostly it's him scoring goals and making late runs into the box late.
