Darwin Nunez

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I’ll be honest I would have liked him last season. Especially over kane.I did post this last year before anyone accuses me of being a mr hindsight.

He’s a good player and will do well I imagine for them. About the going rate for a forward these days.

However and as much as that mob will try to convince themselves and the media try to brainwash everyone he’s not anywhere near the levels of Haaland. Should not even be compared. Haaland is/will be a generational talent.

We apparently had him and Vlahovic on the radar last year. Thought they weren’t good enough for us, especially given he only scored 6 league goals last season, but they’ve come on leaps and bounds over the last 12 months. Our scouts generally get it right most of the time.

But Haaland is Haaland, and barring some serious injuries, he’ll probably be the best striker of his generation.

The 2 billion they got from Coutinho has really stretched a long way.


RIP Net Spend FC

They haven't touched a penny of the Coutinho money. Everyone they buy is done so using the interest the Coutinho money earns

Smacks of this scenario.

Andy Carroll's 2011 Liverpool move voted worst Premier League signing

Andy Carroll's big-money move to Liverpool in 2011 has been voted the WORST ever Premier League signing, according to a survey. The injury-prone frontman, who now plies his trade for Reading, managed only 11 goals in 58 appearances during his three years at Liverpool.

They did the Torres sale to Chelsea a couple of hours earlier, so couldn’t cry poverty. I think Nunez will do well but you’re right, it’s a similar scenario and definitely a downgrade on Mane.

He's got a great scoring record. Might surprise a few.

I've not seen him play but he appears to be highly rated.

He is a top goal scorer moving for a gigantic fee, but like Haaland, unproven in the toughest league of all. But they are losing an absolute killer, a PL don for a knock down fee , so need something to try and replace all Mane’s goals

A year after that comment he bought VVD for a huge sum, but in 2017 he sold Coutinho for £140 million, even someone as high on inhalers as Bingo has to see that buying and selling in this instance is EXACTLY the same thing.

This. Let's be honest, Nunez might turn out to be a very decent striker and do well for them (with the way they play, any half-decent forward should score a good amount), but it'd take a pretty delusional mind to say that you're happier with him over Haaland.

Not seen enough of Nunez to have a very informed opinion, but it's a ton of money to spend on the Portuguese league top scorer. Let's not forget that Carlos Vinicius (1 goal in 9 games for Spurs) also topped that league's scoring charts not too long ago.

Not saying that Nunez is crap, at all. He's looked alright the few occasions I've seen him (despite a pretty heavy first touch) but I'm far happier with Haaland and if the media want to make out that the two are on the same level... Well, let's just see how next season goes.

We’d get ripped to shreds if we spent 85mil on a striker with one good season and they got the best young striker in the world for 50mil.

1 in 2 isn’t a great scoring record in Portugal. Decent, but not £100m worth of greatness.
