Nothing controversial there mate. He can play on the right and still be dangerous.
What's so funny. Nani is on a different level technically. Look at his goal vs Arsenal.
Bale a better all round player than Nani...not a fecking hope.
Anybody take anything from his omission from the clubs calender?
Just read that. Goner unless something radically dramatic happens.
yep, he's gone.
Maybe they just wanted the much more photogenic Phil Jones to take his place?
Uhm, isnt both Rafael and De Gea also excluded from the calendar? Maybe all of them are in a calendar to be released in Latin-American regions?
Anderson's not on it either... Uh oh!
So we'll have these players for the latin market?

That quote in the newbies made me laugh.
I can just see Ferguson with all the pictures spread out over his desk trying to match each player with a month. He comes to Nani's pose and with the ruthless streak that's in him decides to show this prima donna once and for all that he means business. Nani is good enough for no month. If this doesn't get him to pull his socks up I don't know what will
If anything, it shows how much his credibility has been shot in the past 12 months at OT. Player of the year> Squad player with no market value for publication. It may only be a calender but this is a massive money maker and his absence is not good.
Jones is already Mr.March.
Maybe on your homemade calendar. Mine is just 12 pictures of David Gill in various stages of negotiation with prospective commercial partners.
A "massive money maker"... really?
A cut of the calendar sales was what tipped the RvP sale over the edge.
Others might tiptoe around your bullshit but I won't. Why you continuously feel the need to condemn posts is beyond me. Is your opinion more valid than mine because you spend countless hours posting the most unnecessary tripe imaginable? I get it, you like Nani... Bravo sir! Far be it from me to criticise a player that you have an obvious obsession with. Lets all jump on the bandwagon and once again needlessly blow a post out of proportion IMR. I'll go ahead and justify myself shall I? Answer a question for me please: How much did we spend on bebe? (I'm aware this is a Nani thread admin...I won't take long)
What the f...?
He was quoting a post that was a piss take, also taking the piss, that had nothing to do with you.
Weird.
Did you read the above posts?
It's a calender. It has no relevance to anything
Evidently not
Why are you quoting yourself?
I read his post that you quoted, which was a response to a joke Brophs made, that had nothing to do with you.

The point I was going to make was this. We spent ridiculous money on Bebe and as ridiculous a figure as it was, in football figures, it was not necessarily extravagant. This would normally be the case but taking our poor financial structure into account, that was a lot of money for us and fans around the world cried and moaned that we were bunking 'massive' money on a nobody.

According to this(at the time of publish) we had 659M fans worldwide. Let's say for argument sake, the figure has not changed. If 0.5% of these buy a calender for themselves or kids or as a handy Xmas present (going on IMR amazon prices), this equates to 13, 180M.
In terms of 'our' precarious financial situation, it's a pretty hefty figure dickhead

Seriously?
What the feck is going on here?
I quoted myself because it was fitting. That particular quoted post is more than explanatory. The initial post was in response to mine. Do you pick and chose what to see ya?
Surely I can defend myself no? Do I need to be 5k posts to qualify for that?
If they really want money that badly from the calendar they should ditch the players and do a wags version
How was it fitting?
I've no idea what you're blathering on about here, and why the feck you decided to bring Bebe and our current financial situation into this thread.
The whole calendar thing is a pile of bollocks anyway, it's not even worth discussing. If we took it seriously then we'd in theory be selling half of our squad.

Some sort of grasp on reality would help. You really think Nani's omission from a fecking calendar means anything?
Do excuse me Cina. Clearly I have no idea what I am on about. Proceed sir
Of course it does. Why would it not?
Well I, for one, am not buying this calender if Ferguson has decided not to put Nani in it.
I know me and my fellow non-calander buying fellows will be costing the club a lot of money and we will probably not be able to afford that midfielder we need in the Summer because of this but we need to stand by our principles
