NWC 315 Posted February 17, 2012 Valencia is not that good a player. He''s Nani''s deputy, who himself is no Ronaldo.Sell Ronaldo and replace with Antonio Valencia?? No wonder they wave those yellow and green scarves!Anyhoo, we''ve got a bigger problem with Ashley Young being back up to speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"""""""""Ben """"""""""" 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Not that good of a player? He''s been incredible for Man Utd in the last few months. Good news for us that he is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
How-zat-son! 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Definitly one of the most underrated players in the league I think. Has been one of their best players this season, having played the majority of it out of position as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame to Blame 108 Posted February 17, 2012 Agree he has been very good for them lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 315 Posted February 17, 2012 Pah, he''s a poor man''s Elliot Bennett !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted February 17, 2012 He''s probably been the best wide-man in the Premier League in recent months, so it can only be a good thing if he misses out but with Ashley Young & Tom Cleverley fit again they have options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted February 17, 2012 I imagine Ferguson will keep it relatively narrow anyway, expecting his superior players to triumph in a like-for-like setup, e.g. Carrick v Fox, Scholes v Johnson, Young v Surman, Cleverley v Hoolahan.Oh, I just depressed myself.

I feel a bit ashamed, as I didn''t realise he had hit a vein of form.How''s that young Gazza player doing for the tottenham hotspurs??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey24 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Antonio Valencia is a fantastic player, certainly NOT a Nani deputy (who himself has come a long way since Ronaldo left). I would pick Valencia ahead of Young and Nani to play wide, as he adds a great defensive side to the team as well. He always finds space for a cross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted February 17, 2012 When benno starts to take players on using his pace he will be a norwich quality version of Valencia! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted February 17, 2012 The threat of Valencia actually comes from Rooney. If that makes sense. Those two have built a telepathic understanding so when the two play together, they get the best out of each other and Rooney is more dangerous when Valencia plays. PL will need a plan to stop AV finding WR whenever he has the ball. Who knows what he''ll come up with but I suspect ''Operation Liberty'' won''t work for this game!
