Cappa 24 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Been a great signing for Man United IMO. Obviously he was never going to replace Ronaldo and his goals, but he's been better than I expected. Every time I've seen him play he's impressed me. What's everybody's thoughts on him? Good or bad signing? Obviously United paid too much for him, so don't let that cloud your judgement of how he's played on the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I like Valencia I thought he would have been a big waste of money for Man Utd but IMO he's turned out well thus far I never realised how quick the cunt was when he was at Wigan, he's a whippet!

Cappa 24 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 True. Understandable though considering the huge step-up he had made and the fact that there was so much negative media about his price tag and the fact he'd never be able to replace Ronaldo.

Muff 245 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Wasn't too sure on Manchester United signing him, but put him in my dream team. He's taken a bit of time to settle, as expected, but he's coming onto a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I noticed how quick he is was against Liverpool this season. Insua (I think) had like a 10 yard head start on him and Valencia just blew him away. Hits his digs with some amount of power too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Still settling in, and will continue to do so for the whole season. He is doing well this season, and added a few goals to his name. Next season though, I reckon he'll take the Premiership by storm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Has had a good season after a shaky start, still not worth £16million though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,854 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Man Utd watched him for two years before they eventually signed him. I'bve probaby seen a lot more of him that most people on this forum and I had no doubts that he would manage to make the transition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,561 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 think he's doing well the way he likes to drive at opponents every chance he gets is exciting hate it when wide men turn back and pass it inside Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappa 24 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Bump. Been fantastic lately and the main reason why Rooney is having the season he is. Brilliant player. Only criticism I have of him is that he is too reliant on his right foot, he makes it too obvious what he's going to do when one on one with a full back.

Only criticism I have of him is that he is too reliant on his right foot, he makes it too obvious what he's going to do when one on one with a full back.I love wingers whose main aim is just get to the byline and whip the ball in.Valencia has helped Rooney immensely. Ronaldo was much more of a self-thinking player, which meant it didn't help Rooney as much.Valencia's main aim is to help the players around him, and Rooney is reaping the rewards!

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I don't think he is that good tbh. He has pace, can beat a player with it but no real foot skill. Not a good passer of the ball and doesn't really have a threat infront of goal or score many goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwellrfc 6 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 he seems to pick rooney out perfectly everytime he puts in a cross, hes one of the main reasons rooneys scorin so many goals this season imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurto 9 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 He has more assists now than Ronaldo had in all of last season I believe. Really starting to come into his own and his fee might prove to be a bargain further down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 He has pace, works hard, constantly get's behind his marker and can deliver a ball. Seem's to never panic, and keep's it simple. His understanding, and partnership with Wayne Rooney is frightening. Won't score a lot of goals - think he has 6 in all competitions? - but he will offer a lot more. He must have at least 15 assists.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 United season has really confused me.Ronaldo has left, but his goals have been replaced with the goals of Wayne Rooney. With Ronaldo leaving the team as a whole are playing better from midfield to front, IMO. Valencia has come in and gave alot more assists than what Ronaldo ever did. So the Ronaldo leaving, IMO, hasn't affected United as much as people think. The goals of Tevez however have been missed. That's purely because apart from Rooney, no-one in the squad is scoring consistently. Berbatov and Owen have chipped in with 9 each. Not enough for a club of United's size. The defence is the other problem that United have had. Ferdinand and Vidic have been two rocks for the last three seasons, but this season they have been both plagued with injuries and there been alot of different defensive partnerships used over the course of the season. Yet with these problems, they have just won the Carling Cup, one point behind Chelsea in the league and in control of their last 16 Champions League tie against Milan. If United can sort their defence out for the remainder of the season and get Berbatov scoring more goals the prospect of the treble is really on. At times this season, who would have thought that?

I don't think Utd are missing his goals that much.He scored 15 last season and with another 18 games max to play I don't think it's unrealistic ro think that Berba or Owen(injury pending) could match that.
