Matheus Nunes

[Jonas.shaffer]

It doesn't make sense to me. He offers a different skill set than other midfielders and can also fill in on the wing. We play more games this season than ever before. I see the upside for him as he'd likely play more, but not for us.

 

[skillman]

Can’t imagine we’ll let him go so late in the window. Especially on loan?!

Unless Pep is adamant on O’Reilly and McAtee’s minutes.

 

[WestGorton]

Very talented in my opinion. Free spirit type of player so would be a great loan for say Newcastle if he does go out.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

no loan. if get rid then full transfer. id like to see hi stay tbh

 

[Coatigan]

Makes no sense letting him go this late in the window. Makes even less sense on loan anywhere. Another year, another body for cover, then see what happens. Get a second striker in and all done.

 

[N1985]

Seems a good lad and a brilliant footballer, just doesn't fit in with what we do on the pitch. Hopefully we can move him on so he actually gets to play some football this season

 

[Gumzy97]

If he goes, we will have to go back into the market. There's 70 plus games this season plus international breaks, Pep was already saying we needed everybody this season.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Let's face it, if he goes it's because Pep doesn't fancy him. Phillips staying for another 6 months last season probably halved his value.

Good news for McAtee and O'Reilly, and if this means we sign a striker I'd say the squad balance will be better for it.

 

[Gumzy97]

Not sure we need another midfielder.
We have Bobb to come back, Rico can play there and it gives McAtee a chance of minutes.

70 plus games this season ,plus internationals. If Nunes goes he needs to be replaced.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

4th choice number 6 at best, behind Rodri, Kovacic. Gundogan (and from Pep's comments, also O'Reilly, Rico, Stones, Akanji...)

6th choice number 8 at best, behind KDB, Foden, Bernardo, Gundogan, Kovacic (and also potentially McAtee, O'Reilly, Grealish, Bobb, Lewis...)

7th choice out wide at best, behind Savinho, Doku, Grealish, Bobb, Foden, Bernardo. Probably McAtee too.

He's not going to play.

McAtee can replace his minutes.. Already looks better!

 

[blueparrot]

70 plus games this season ,plus internationals. If Nunes goes he needs to be replaced.

If he stays he’ll be lucky to get 10 games and those 10 will be at the expense of McAtee and O’Reilly .As Pep said buying a player for 10 games isn’t what we should be doing

 

[mancityscot]

Just not the player I expected him to be. No doubt there’s some talent there but he plays like an absolute fairy

 

[asgoodasitgets]

Surely we will dip our toes in transfer market then

Oh no
Not the GREEEEEEEEEEEEN LIGHT !!!!!!!

 

[Trickyblues]

I wonder if we’d have even bought him if he didn’t go on strike…

 

[JewelZee]

Would argue Nunes is not in the same category as Sterling/Jesus/Zinchenko. All of the latter were good squad players able to play a part when needed and actually contributed to our success. Would put Nunes in the same category as the likes of Phillips/Mangala/Rodwell/Bony/Jo, but thats just my opinion :)

EDIT: With that said, if he stays I obviously hope he surprises me and turn into a good player!

I have to ask...how are you putting Nunes in with guys that were terrible on the pitch? I've yet to see him kill us in a match. I'll agree he's not in the same boat as Sterling, Jesus, and Zinchenko as they were here for a good bit of time and played their part in many of our successes. Nunes is in his own category. Not poor on the pitch, not great, rarely seen...

 

[St.Pauli support]

4th choice number 6 at best, behind Rodri, Kovacic. Gundogan (and from Pep's comments, also O'Reilly, Rico, Stones, Akanji...)

6th choice number 8 at best, behind KDB, Foden, Bernardo, Gundogan, Kovacic (and also potentially McAtee, O'Reilly, Grealish, Bobb, Lewis...)

7th choice out wide at best, behind Savinho, Doku, Grealish, Bobb, Foden, Bernardo. Probably McAtee too.

He's not going to play.

He isn't trusted, isn't showing the burning desire to play and Pep has seen all that for more than a year. Happy flower - or like the Wolves fan on here said last year, heart of a pea. It's what I can see him play.
Btw, Pep very often says he can see it in a player's face and body language, on the training pitch.

Nunes' investment is much too high to sit on the bench.
We can raise much more value with Macca, O'Reilly and even Wright.

That made me chuckle. Not often you see a bloke described as a 'fairy' in these, ahem, enlightened times.
But, yes, he plays like a fairy.

 

[JewelZee]

Hope he gets a good move but he won’t be missed.

Ya can't be missed if you don't play...that's obvious...

Question...do we miss Palmer? just asking...

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can’t see O’Reilly getting any minutes. He’s not been great for the EDS so far this season. Jacob Wright seems better suited.
