Re: It is now official in my opinion

I think we generally underate Nani coz 1) he is a United player and 2) he dives a lot. But truth be told, he is one of the best players in the prem no question.

Eaasily a top 5 player in the prem. Bale has been better in Europe than he has in the league. I think Prem teams do a better job playing him than Continental teams who don't see enough of him. That said Bale is a fantastic player in his own right. Has pace, lungs, aggression, a fantastic left foot shot, and a great cross. We shouldn't belittle his emergence, but Nani is still the better player, For Now!

mate , i rate nani very high , but when you are rating (or comparing) a player there is a date you cant ignore , the age. nani is 24 , bale is 21 , and i'm sure you know how great difference usually there is from being 21 (prospect) to be 24 (finished article). i think bale is sligthly already better than nani , but more is coming.

Nani ATM is a lot better than Bale.

- He is two footed and generally offers soo much more to a team than Bale.

Yea..and he is not injured half a season like Bale has been so far. And it's jsut stupid to say that Bale is 2.5x better than Coentrao. In the professional level..the difference between those top players isn't very big.

Tbh..i would rater have Coentrao in my team than Bale.

The "Ojogo" Press from Portugal is saying Benfica and Bayern agreed on a 25 Million Euro Transfer Free.

Bayern close to having Coentrão
ANA PROENÇA / PHILIP STONE

A DSS red is negotiating with the Germans Fabio Coentrao Bayern Munich. By THE GAME found that talks between the leaders of both clubs are already at an advanced stage and should be completed shortly. The deal is expected to close by values ​​of around 25 million euros (termination clause is M € 30), five million under the termination clause of the Portuguese international, whose contract with Benfica until 2016. Fabio Coentrao is aware of any situation, as it was even presented a contract for five seasons with a salary much higher than that which currently receives.

Bayern Munich are currently fourth in the Bundesliga, the German club but with more money. Last season, had a turnover of 323 million euros, leaving him in fourth place on the list of richest clubs in the world, behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. That is to say nothing will be left Fabio Coentrao underserved in Munich, it will have to await a princely salary.

A few days ago, the Bavarian club secured the contract for next season, the former Benfica coach Jupp Heynckes. Now, priority of leaders Bayern Munich is the same left-Portuguese.

On the last close season, the German emblem had already made an official proposal among those responsible for Coentrão incarnate. The offer was 20 million, and declined to Benfica ready for wanting to earn more money and have the player one more time (the athlete also wanted to stay). Now, however, that the deal should proceed. In Benfica SAD, it is assumed that the sweater is to sell 18 and 25 million do not dislike.

bale

Yeah sure...he will only cost 2x more than Coentrao. Now we aren't going for him...

But honestly..if we are going to use Kolarov as our first choice next year too.......

He is a good back up..but we only have him and we need another LB to rotate. Coentrao is one of the best...

Hopefully this is not true..

To be honest, Coentrao is the best LB in football today. I can see how we wouldn't go for him if Mancini wants to give Kolarov a chance to develop. So we still need a backup to Kolarov though. Maybe someon even average, just for competition and safety. Had we gone for Coentrao, I have no doubt in my mind he would have benched Kolarov with ease.

The thing is, Coentrao can play everything on the Left side. LM, LOM, LW and he has the Gameplay inteligence compared with pace which Kolarov doesnt have.

I belive its true story, Bayern didnt buy Coentrao last Year becouse of Van Gaal who sayed "I dont buy players for 20 up Million. Their Manager saw that different, and now Van Gaal is leaving for not buyed Players like Coentrao and others.

Yeah...Coentrao could cover the left forward/winger position too. We need this guy...also, these big transfers usually aren't done before the transfer window is open.

Hopefully this one isn't either. Im sure if we dont get this guy..we will end up signing someone else. Who could be worse than Kolarov..

Kolarov just lacks the pace. I dont understand why we didn't go for him in the first place.
