Juve consider Nani swoop

Portuguese media claim Juventus are targeting Manchester United star Nani as their big January signing.

The Bianconeri have made it clear they want a new forward option after taking Nicklas Bendtner on loan from Arsenal.

According to Portuguese site Futebol365, they have set their sights on 25-year-old Nani.

He was a key figure at Old Trafford in 2010-11, but has since struggled to find space with the arrival of Shinji Kagawa.

Contract renewal talks have also stalled, so Nani is an option for Juventus, though for considerably less than the £20m Manchester United paid for him five years ago.

Nani scored 36 goals in 196 appearances for the club.

Don't like Nani, and he sure as hell isn't compatible with a 3-5-2.

Maybe we are going with 4-3-3 but I don't like him to

That would mean sacrificing Asamoah and moving one of Vucinic/Giovinco to a less favourable position

And I'm not sure about Nani's ability to track back

It doesn't make sense to change the 3-5-2 right now

Wouldn't be the best idea actually.

Nani on his day and form is truly an explosive player with some great ability.

Sadly players like him without much tactical awareness or footballing brain tend to really flop hard in Serie A as defence in Serie A is literally programmed to close down fast and tricky players like him.

He doesn't have the mind for Conte's system nor the requisites needed to succeed in this league.
