[b]United slammed over Nani deal
Chelsea scout Piet de Visser insists Manchester United paid over-the-odds for Nani.
The Dutchman, a personal adviser to Blues owner Roman Abramovich and one of their main scouts, is known as one of the best judges of talent in Europe.
Talking to Dutch television, de Visser revealed that he and Chelsea were well aware of Nani - but he was not worth the money that United paid.
"Of course we knew about Nani for a long time," he told Tien TV.
"He is a talent, but if you look at the European Championshop in Portugal and the current tournament in the Netherlands - Nani has not shown any progress.
"Therefore I think Manchester United have paid too much money for a player who has talent, but has not developed since last year."
De Visser also revealed that he was looking at up to four players at the current European Under-21 tournament.
right..so how much did you pay for 30yr old shev?[/b]
to me, this is the key phrase ->
"Therefore I think Manchester United have paid too much money for a player who has talent, but has not developed since last year."
but now, he is at United, where he can work day in/out with some of the best players. And instead of a guaranteed place, he now know he has to re-prove himself.
I bet that's motivation and hunger to prove he is good enough or even better than Ronaldo.
I think it is wrong to limit people. Cause some do out-perform when placed in different environment.
Similarly, I do have many friends who graduate from NTU or NUS even though they were from ITE.
