Here's a video about Antonio Valencia:
As we can see, Antonio Valencia can make some beautiful crosses. He made a similar cross like David Beckham in the video, what a beautiful cross it is. Okay, he may not be as good as Ribery, Kaka, Ronaldo or Benzema but look, he is only 23 years old and the transfer fee is reasonable, 16 millon. Why should we buy Ribery which costs us around 60million pounds and he is 26 years old? United rarely plump for established superstars too(Berbatov was the exception in recent years), instead preferring to cast the net at an earlier age. It is a tactic that is so often reaped benefits for the club, largely because younger players find it easier to adapt to a new playing style and are eager to soak up the experience from United’s older heads. Valencia was also one of the best players at the JJB in the past two seasons and he has the experience in England which Benzema and Ribery don't, not all players can adapt well into the Premier League
News about the transfer:
Antonio Valencia flew in last night to complete his dream £16million move to Manchester United - and end Sir Alex Ferguson's wait for a first signing of the summer. Ecuadorian ace Valencia cut short a break back in his homeland to make the trip and will have a medical at Old Trafford today while his contract details are sorted out. Valencia has been holding out for a move to United for five months since Fergie first showed his hand and tried to buy him from Latics in the last window. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were given the brush-off by Valencia and his camp because he wants to make the trip along the M62 and join the champions as Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement. It is a dream move for Valencia who can expect to quadruple his wages and sign a deal worth around £75,000-a-week.
