Darwin Nunez - Thoughts?

[Lee909]

Problem is even if we could get a deal done for Osimhen is he wouldn't be available till mid feb with AFCON. Can't see us being interested anyway

Prime Andy Carroll was better.

We need to cash in on him and get someone in who can actually put the ball in the net. 

 

Genuinely though - who would pay money for him right now?

Yeah, he has £20m punt by a promoted side or endless loan until his contract expires to an Italian club written all over him.

Chelsea

We just don’t have time to wait for him to mature. I’m not sure he will ever be consistent- he will undoubtedly have purple patches but we need more than that and I’m sure we expected more than that for him.

 

it hasn’t worked out that way- he would benefit from a move 

[Jairzinho]

There is a chance that Napoli won't want to swap one of the top three or four strikers on the planet for Nunez.

[Creator Supreme]

I wouldn't go for Osimhen either. Good player, but wouldn't suit us.

You don't tell them, you send them the money and leave Nunez on De Laurentiis' doorstep when nobody is looking.

People say he's young,learning, needs to mature. But he's 25 in the summer. He isn’t a kid,Torres joined us at 23,Suarez at 24. He doesn't look like he has it upstairs to step up like we need. Even Cavani had been scoring regularly for Palermo and got his Napoli move at 23. 

 

 

[HolyHank]

I was fooled by his purple patch earlier this autumn, and Dave U's weekly talk about him as "electric" and "most exciting player in the league". 

 

Thing is, the guy plays with his head down, is fairly limited technically and is by no means lethal enough. 

 

He is fast and strong, but I don't think it will be enough. 

 

Will have to turn it around very fast, or he will end up like Carroll: a ponytailed sub soon to be sent out on numerous loan deals. 

[Salou]

Really wish it would work out for him but this run added to what he has shown overall since he’s been here and the signs aren’t good.

Don't remember him doing a single thing other than the elbow charge

He stopped playing when he was two yards from getting the ball in front of an empty net.

Well you can't miss sitters if you don't shoot.... 

 

So it shows he's learning!!!

I put him into a bet builder to be offside twice or more and he managed at least double that.

 

Also reckon he had our best chance of the match with the back post header first half that he chose to pass.

 

[lebron]

I’m actually more concerned with his inability to contribute to our attacking play MORE than his inability to finish, which takes some doing.

 

 

[bossy]

Loved the hatrick today from Mo and the brace from Diaz and Gakpo and, blah blah. Nunez was shite today and hasn’t played well for a while, but neither has the whole team bar Ali and Virgil. There’s been the odd other good appearance from one or two over the last month, but really, everyone has been shit.

I'm no big fan of his, but that's not entirely his doing. Our way of attacking, in the main, is very fucking slow. We don't seem to have any intention of taking advantage of opportunities to break. The slightly aimless slow passing couldn't possibly suit Nunez any less. 

 

We simply have to start Gakpo, or change how we play. As others have said Nunez looks far more useful as a sub where he has more chance to run at tired defences when the game opens up a bit. 

 

He isn't doing us any favours and vice versa.

Nunez hasn't scored since Jesus was a twinkle in Joseph's eyes.

And as a team we’ve been needing a twinkle since then too. Fortunately we’ve not been losing and have ridden our luck to grind out wins. I reckon we have a pretty good team and squad that can evolve into a great one. Hopefully Nunez included.

The team is in transition but I simply cannot fathom how people still think Nunez will come good. He's been here a year and half now, he's not improved in the slightest.
