If the fee is as reported a few days ago that's pathetic. Good luck to him, he served the club well and helped in the club's success in those first 3/4 seasons. Still remember his two best performances imo vs Arsenal in the FA Cup we won 4-0 and vs Liverpool where iirc he scored to make it 3-0.
Good luck to him. Always liked Nani as a player because of how he proved everyone wrong after being written off. Unfortunately he coulo maintain it due to injuries and a huge loss lf confidence but for an 18 month spell he was one of the leagues best players and one of the worlds best wingers. The fee is pathetic as treble states.
Fee's still being discussed apparently. Fenerbahce have offered £3.5 million, Utd holding out for more. Nani has been allowed to agree personal terms with them and have a medical, so we may be waiting until they have everything lined up and then pushing for more cash. Fee isn't all that important imo - he's only something like £100-120k a week and we had to pay most of his wages whilst at Sporting so it's worth £6m a season just to get rid if he's not going to feature. It's not like we need the extra £3 million or whatever we are holding out for.
As Swarbs says, the fee isn't all that important. Getting his wages off our wage bill is important. Your always going to struggle to get decent money for an average player who's paid silly money, as the club he's going to usually have to atleast match the over inflated wages. This is why Chelsea had to practically give away Torres, as no one was going to pay a fee and then honour his crazy wages
Yeh and at £4m it's a no brainer for a big club to have him. Amazing that decent players end up in Turkey.
I think it's because of a number of reasons, they have certain clubs that can almost guarantee European football every year, they pay good wages, you don't have to be "world class" to get a first team place. The thing I don't understand is how they get such good deals on transfers.
