Nunez was an obvious weak point in the squad last season, and it was clear that Slot doesn’t rate him. When you have an opportunity to make a massive upgrade at a critical position in the outfield, even one that costs as much as this, you take it.

I can see one of two pathways for Darwin.
- We sell him for a bit less than we value him at (maybe 35-40m)
- We send him on loan with a view to him rehabilitating himself and getting the cash we want next year.
I am quite surprised there hasn’t been more of a market for him, given there aren’t many strikers about.

Sad truth is he’s a bit shite at doing what is expected of him

I could see the lord of chaos staying here and being deployed on the left after selling Diaz if we don’t get the money we want for him. Unlikely, but I think it would be a viable option.

A more unreliable update. Someone with too much time on his hands reckons this is Isaks house up for sale

I can’t see either of these happening - more likely he stays
Reckon we get at least £50m for him. Don’t think we go near a loan (unless it includes a requirement to purchase - which are pointless anyway)
This one will go late into the window.
There’s a club not too far from Anfield who are about to need a new number 9 and have been turned down by pretty much every other one that has moved this summer.
I’d be less surprised to see him playing for them next season than playing for us.
There is a limited number of strikers on the market and as more of them complete moves and the later it gets into the window, the chance someone decides Darwin is worth the risk will increase.

Not surprised, as far as fan sluething goes its more unhinged than flight tracking 
Personally wasn’t posting it here as a serious thing 
just found it funny someone had done it

I’m not
Darwin is just further down the chain and needs a few dominos above him to topple beginning the movement. He will get sold.

I like the idea of sending him on a loan to a setup where he can flourish. He just doesn’t fit into our current scheme so his stats look bad thus depressing his value.
Sounds right up the street of many a Serie A club.
Ergo, I think it’s a bad idea.

Also why Chiesa is still here - all offers would have been rubbish loans.
Some reports are coming out with Isak literally going on a strike over a move to LFC.
That is pretty alarming to say the least…

Worked for Neil Ruddock.
Though he was a long term cunt.

And Virgil.
Although someone at Southampton then had a hissy fit so it was delayed a window.

Some say that Simao’s airplane is still circling above the Atlantic, waiting for permission to land and get the deal done…
