The Nani Thread, Capoeira Inspired Aerobics [R]

Damn Where Is That Nani-gordo Tekken Gif I Had...

Nooooo

Nani's a beast!!! Definately going to play a major role on the Portugal squad in Euro 2008.

Nani. Frustrates and causes multiple orgasms in equal measure.

Nice youtube compilation

In a few years I see no reason why Nani wouldnt be able to reach the level Ronaldo is at now. His finishing is very very good for a 20 year old.
(Im not talking about long range efforts, which he is very good at as well, just basic finishing like we saw in the goal today, the goal against Arsenal, or a few from the pre season)

That was a really good Youtube comp. Definitely thinking it's the next name if I get another kit in a year or so.

A great video for a great player.

He's coming along nicely. He's already beginning to get a reputation for scoring or creating important goals.

His CK to Ronnie for our 2nd goal was vital, much like other CK's he's taken this season and of course he's had a spectacular goal or two.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the kid is lethal in the final 3rd. He may be equally clumsy and selfish in the final 3rd, but you cannot teach what he has. Imagine him being inconsistent and mostly a sub but still being this productive on the offensive end while offering great work ethic on the defensive end too?

He's not on pace to match any other winger we have now or have had. He's a completely different animal. Luis Nani has the chance to be the next Nani.

Just rewatched his goal, and I am really impressed at how he made the space for himself. It was a brilliant move to put the ball in between, then past, the 2 defenders. And Sky had a brilliant slow motion replay of his celebration against the backdrop of the bouncing United supporters - almost brought tears to my eyes

Why did they get rid of the prominent green lines on the kit (especially on the shorts) ?

It now looks tooo red...

Kinda harsh on the eyes..

Is Nani a regular for the National team?

I'd think Queresma and Simao would be ahead of him.

lol...

Thank God we nipped him away from Spurs. I remember reading the story about how close it was - Gill was apparently doing the Anderson negotiations in Portugal when he heard Nani was not completely tied down, and instantly went to sign him.

So who is the quickest horse in the barn then?

Simao's ability to consistently make the right decisions is levels above Nani's for the time being. Nani's only real edge on Simao at the moment appears to be his pace, and it's not a huge edge.

The expectations around Simao have always been very high but he never quite lived up to the "next Figo" billing. Nani looks to be of a different potential (possibly greater) but for the moment is a raw talent and is a long way from being the complete player that Simao is.

Best animated GIF ever!

Someone rep him for me !!!
