Question:
Nani vs Valencia: Which one is better?
2011-05-26 13:04:23 UTC
And between the 2 who would you start on Saturday?

I personally prefer Valencia, he's immensely quick very strong and he does give fabulous deliveries on the box that any striker would dream having him on the wing. He does chip in with some goals but he likes to assist more. Also he doesn't go round diving. I wish Liverpool signed him before he went to the manc bastards but it was never to be.

And Nani, he is so cockey, dives, and play acts so much and goes for glory too much. I hate how many times he dived against us especially at Anfield ending up in tears. But he is good but his attitude is so poor it makes him a bad person.

What's your opinion?

Nani & Valencia vs Nasri & Walcott





now which pairing is better ? ^_^





what about Lucas & Kuiyt ? no ?



ok nm that one then Martin.





lol





what about...





Messi & Iniesta ? ^_^





answer - Nani can play a more attacking central role as hes a stronger player than Valencia.



Valencia is more dangerous going past fullbacks and whipping in dangerous crosses into the box and in and around the penalty area.



Nani can play that way too - and has done in the past, but he prefers to make darting runs into the box from central diagonal areas, and seldom likes running straight down the flanks - where his threat is minimal.



Valencia is pace and surplus amounts of youthful energy - hes their wideman, and he is Rooney's provider in some respects at times.







Nani > Valencia for me, bit more of a versatile player. Definetely better imo.





Valencia will improve though.

Valencia is quicker than nani

Nani has more skill than valencia and has a better shot

Nani can shoot on both feet and play equally well on either wing

Valencia is a lot better at getting deliveries into the box and the ball flashing across the goal face

hmmm...since nani's form has dipped recently i would start valencia but if both players were at their best i would go for nani

Nani has became a great player for Man Utd this season. He has worked very hard off and on the pitch. And I'll tell you what he has a wonderful left foot for a right footed player. But Valencia plays the game with his head. He has great experience; his only 25. His first touch is world class. He takes one touch then looks for another player, one touch cross, one touch cross, one touch cross...

It must be great for a striker having someone like Valencia on the wing!



For me Valencia is a better overall player. But Nani is progressing quickly and becoming a great player. Any team would love either of them on their wings! :')



Saturday?.. For me, I would play Park and Valencia but not sure what formation!? Either 4 4 2 or 4 3 3 then shaping up into a 4 5 1 when defending.

In the PL Valencia & in Europe (i mean CL every season!!) Nani. I would start with Valencia he works hard defensively too & then after about an hour bring Nani on.

Hard to say. Valencia is just getting back into game shape after his leg break and could prove vital on Saturday to United's cause.



Personally, I'd start Nani and have Valencia come on later in the game depending on developments....but I think I'll leave the tactics to Sir Alex, he seems to know what he's doing.

Loving your obsession with united, Valencia on the right and Nani on the left except when we play defensively with Park and Valencia like this saturday. I prefer Valenica, Love his attitude and his style, Nani can frustrate at times but is still class.

nani is good but he's a diving drama queen, valencia is okay but he came from wigan so we shouldn't rate him too much



overall nani is better

Nani was voted the player of the year by the staff and players.



So yea, I think they know.

Nani, hands down... while i do agree with your assessments, Nani is just more talented.

i prefer Valencia he got deadly cross
2011-05-26 20:06:37 UTC
yes Valencia, for your reasons, i'd also put Beckham in front of nani if he was ever to return.

Valencia by far.
