Me after the first leg in the match report:

 

He’s really highly rated but I wasn’t overly impressed. He took the goal well but I think my judgement of him is clouded by the constant diving and the dreadful fucking haircut. His record is impressive and we’ve apparently been scouting him, so watch this space I suppose. I do love a good Uruguayan striker so if he sorts the hair out then maybe I could get on board with it, but as of now it’s a hard pass from me.

 

Me after the second leg in the match report:

 

“Benfica had another goal disallowed late on when Nunez finished well again but was clearly offside. Good player him, despite the appalling haircut.”

 

Me now:

 

Spend £85m on him, he's gonna be amazing.

I love the way you, of all people can make a judgement on someone, just on their haircut alone.............. 

 

I'm all in on nunez, but he'll definitely be shit if it doesn't happen. 

[El Dangerous]

If he has ambitions to play for Barce or Madrid and if his agent has ambitions to get two big money transfers out of him he’ll move to Liverpool. United will ruin him. Hopefully his ambition to play for one of the best teams in the world features highly on that list of priorities.

A mixed performance but one thing for sure is he clearly works his arse off. 

[El Rojo]

Heat maps and xG stats are great, but I'd really like to know if Nunez uses separate shampoo and conditioner before we commit to a bid.

Just need him to bite someone to help lower the price. Are Uruguay playing this week?

Jamaica at the weekend. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

I've heard he's a smoke screen we want pukki from Norwich.

Yeah top work-rate. 

 

 

Oh and @chrisbonnie is spot on about Dave and the hair comment. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

So, although I’m fairly cold on the transfer, something I’ve noticed is that he plays a lot from the left and I assume he’d be asked to play centrally in our three. He’s also young as shit, so can develop.

His hair has lots of potential and in some of the clips it's impressive. Against us it was appalling. He looked like he was wearing a hair net.

NV slowly moonwalking away from his Andy Carroll comp!

He looked really dangerous at Anfield, but a lot of that was down to our defensive shape being far from watertight that night. Based on how his game is being described, there are a lot of similarities between him and Erling Haaland. Clinical finishers, pose an aerial threat, hugely effective in transitional play, not massively involved in defending from the front, and with question marks over their technical ability in tight spaces and against packed defences.

He'll be Head & Shoulders above the rest. As he's so young, he'll be our dandruff diamond that we can shape and he'll be the best we've Vosene.

You see right through me. All the way through.

I have just watched the Bayern game @aRdja put up and the defending was almost the best bit. He was legging it back to basically left back and chucking in some crazy tackles.

Let’s fucking do it. 

[Baltar]

Wayyy too much. I get it, Benfica know he'd sell for that amount if not more after playing in the Premier League, so they want silly money. But we are not going to pay Premiership money for a player in the Portuguese league. Or at least, we shouldn't. The problem is those idiots at Athletico Madrid went and paid an insane amount for Felix and now Benfica want a similar amount for another one of their star players.

Stig on a role with these threads.

He's my new, best, friend 

[TheHowieLama]

Diego Forlan had excellent hair.

[No2]

I didn't want Salah because he was premier league reject. I didn't want Sadio because he was a Bolaise wannabe. I didn't want Alison because Karius was about to come good and I didn't want Virgil because I seen him strolling around the pitch at Kilmarnock. Nunez can get fucked too. One season wonder.
