Thing about Nani is that since his first season, he's actually deteriorated in terms of performance and product. In his debut season, he was beating players down his wing for fun and whipping in very inviting crosses and corners. And that goal against Tottenham kickstarted our campaign. He's still not turned out to be the star player we've expected him to be when we signed him for about 20 million (must admit I've never heard much about him till we suddenly came out early in the window and said we've signed him and Anderson). Technically, he's one of the best in our squad. He has a fantastic shot in him and very good ball control. What he needs to improve on as many of you has said is his decision-making. Atm, he seems to play with his head down and slows our play down when he's one v one against the opposing rightback. We all know he can beat players with ease, what he needs to do is beat them and whip in a cross immediately. Take lessons from Giggsy. Once he beats his man, he looks up and picks out passes or crosses. I fancy Valencia more as our traditional winger in that he's designated to cross balls in from the right for us to attack, whereas Nani is better cutting inside and popping in shots with his right foot. Ronaldo and Evra were an immense combination, if Nani can develop that area and be half the player Ronaldo was, we'll have a quality winger. Give him time, I'd like to think with the opportunity to feature more often he will get better, and he could be the next no. 7. He blows hot and cold atm. One game he's fantastic, the next he's the worst player on the pitch. He must work on consistency and his footballing brain or he might lose his place to the likes of Park or the upcoming Obertan, who I have very high hopes for.

It's still too early of the season to judge, but I personally feel Nani's experience is vital for him to be a great player, I still think he is a very technically gifted winger. Unlike Valencia, who is to me, a bit too narrow on his game. Think Nani as the young giggsy (or Ronaldo), quick on his feet with good skills, but just needs more games.
Oh btw, I still know people who still cringe whenever they see Fletcher or JOS on the team sheet. Funny people, really.
