The lad has loads of talent but a five cent brain. If he was 17 or 18 we would not be having this disagreement but he is 21 now. That may not be old but consider this, He is only one year younger than Ronaldo, and look how far Cris has come in 5 years. Also, Cris was never this bad when we first got him. He was always willing to learn and work on his weaknesses. He perfected his shooting and decision making and even his diving has curtailed greatly. But one thing he never was arrogantly moody and selfish to the point of taking long shots when he has open options on the break. Nani plays with his head down a lot like Anderson. This is not good. But his hunger for personal glory is destroying his potential. I think he idolizes Ronaldo and is jealous of him at the same time. He wants to be like him but he is going about it all wrong. We must come to the realization that not all players with talent are coachable. This I'm afraid may be the case with Nani. Honestly, I hope I'm wrong. He may be in mine and more importantly, Fergie's doghouse, but he also could grow up from this debacle and learn to control his temper and emotions. Channel that energy better and he could become special. But that should have started when he was 17 or 18. Right now he is a little behind schedule age wise. Hopefully his arrogance and stubbornness doesn't derail a bright future. Craig; I agree with you in part on Nani. The lad has loads of talent but a five cent brain.

I love the lad, and he does get carried away with excitement whenever he gets a scent of the goal lol, but I truly believe he has a lot of talent in him, which is very raw admittedly, and needs to be harnessed. I believe Fergie is the Bee's Knees at doing this harnessing of talent though, and I love seeing what he can do with raw material. Nani is a rough diamond to me, and I enjoy watching him. Bye the way, it is worth a mention that this is his first season in the premiership, and not every body is a quick developer. Some players get a storming 1st season in the prem, others don't though. He will not be used to what Neill did, even though he will be used to the diving and playacting back in Portugal. Neill pinched Nani's leg muscle while he was on the ground, slapped him on the way up, and then clipped him on each side of the head when he was stood up. So 3 provocations there, and then Neill goes down like bet Davies, what a big girls blouse. Nani shouldn't have responded, but if Neill had done that to me, I cannot swear hand on heart I wouldn't have lost it a bit too. Still, I hold my hands up that Nani overdid the response and embarrasing play acting. Yet I want him to come good, and to fulfil the potential that Fergie and Carlos obviously saw in him. As long as he wears a red shirt, and is on the pitch, I'll will be routing and roaring him on.
