It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

He is at the age where he needs to be playing regularly and be the main man of a team, not convinced he will ever do that with us.

It's a shame because he is a very decent man and I love his personality on the pitch, he winds up opposition players and fans and that is a huge asset in some games but the issue is goals and assists, simply not enough.
Nunes's stats make Jackie G look like Ollie Watkins. There's just nothing to suggest Nunes is suffering from "1st season syndrome". It would be harsh, but I think he should be sold, not Jack, to offset fees for Paqueta/Guimaraes and to create squad space....

Neither will be sold unless either want to be and doubt nunes does, pretty sure Grealish doesn't, and IMO it's Paqueta or Guimaraes.

Personally would keep both, Nunes is very much work in progress but there is clearly a player with skills we don't have and also like Grealish seems a very popular guy in the squad.
 
I'd hate to lose Grealish in case somewhere else his attacking threat is released. But I'm also disappointed that we can't seem to find a way for his excellent skill to be concerted in to much more genuine chances.

I had hoped that he'd be far better than Sterling but I feel like he's only marginally better. But sure I could say that about loads.

There have been very few Yaya, Silva, Aguero, DeBruyne additions of late. (Plus Rodri but I never thought he would be so good). Haaland obviously was a mega signing but we need a few more "Catalysts".

I can only see that being the case if Paqueta's cloud hasn't lifted or Newcastle convince Guimaraes to remain. Watching the football this week, including ourselves in the first half at the weekend, and I'm left frustrated that we failed to bolster the midfield properly in the last two summers.

I'd hate to lose him because the team is better with him in it. That's all there is to it really.

Nunes will be 26 in August, he's at his very peak. He's scored 12 goals in his entire career ! but unless I'm mistaken he isn't a DM. I'm just baffled why we bought him and what he adds. He does seem a really nice person, so is my next door neighbour but he's an accountant.

Nowhere near his peak , he is a very late starter in the pro game and it shows.
 
Make a list for yourselves of players you thought irreplaceable.
I thought we would capsize without David Silva.
Now I think we will do the same without Bernardo Silva.
Somehow I think we will manage. We're not Stretford.
