Putting aside the fact that he is on the last year of his contract. Nani who in my opinion is one of the world's top 10 wingers and only 26 years old - I think he is worth EU13m easily. Its a question of whether:
1) He accepts our wage structure (he wants 7m but our top players only get 4-4.5m tops)
2) Whether Conte thinks he will use him regularly and whether he considers a tactical change to a 433 or 4231 or whether Conte using him as a forward in the 352 - because I am not sure his characteristics fit with being a wing back.

I'd actually be happy if we signed him because we'd have a GENUINE winger to help us play 4-3-3. Quick, skilful, creative, awesome dribbler, great at taking on players. He'd be amazing here.
Just sucks that we couldn't really fit him in the 3-5-2 unless Conte moulds him into an SS type of player which I don't think suits he's key strengths at all. I also think he wouldn't do well as a WB as he isn't really known for his defensive traits.
For 13M? I'd do it for sure. He's a fucking quality player and still only 26. Best years still infront of him.
C'mon

RSA? She's ZA? Cool. Just make sure she stays away from Oscar Pistorius.
Dat's right. Not to mention it's absurd to say that such a rule applies to Nani while it does not to Ronaldo, who went 16 months without scoring a goal for the NT (and 2 years for competitive matches) until he broke his duck in the 7-0 thrashing of North Korea in WC 2010.

The biggest objection people have about Nani is that he will not fit into the 352 so they worry he sits on the bench.
However, the question you have to ask yourself is, is he world class? I think most people would say yes - and do we have a player with his characteristics? No. Therefore sign him depending on wage terms of course.
Conte picks the formation based on the quality of players he has - not the other way around. If Nani is in good form and can tear full backs apart, don't worry, Conte will use him and adapt the formation.

Besides, when they asked conte about the 433, he said: "we don't have the players like Ribery or Robben to play such a formation". That sais it all right there. Conte picks the players then the formation.
I am not "desperate" for the 433 and I think the 352 works rather well. However, unless you have the best players man for man in Europe, you need to have some tactical prowess to adjust play according to the opposition. When teams are successful in pressing our back 3, they cause a lot of problems. Having an "alternative" solution is important. Barca, Bayern and Real Madrid don't really need to adapt much because they can simply impose themselves on any opposition. We don't have that luxury despite having a very good squad.
