Yeah, they would be absolute idiots to accept our silly evaluation of 70 mil EUR.
He is not at all worth that, everyone knows it. We have sold most of our players with high earnings from the sales. Sometimes, you must accept a loss and we need to get rid of Nunez.
I am surprised they are willing to pay this sum, but I guess Saudis can do that.
This is an excellent sale and an exellent price for us.
I’m happy for Darwin. I think his attitude and energy dipped towards the end of his tenure here - he sometimes looked like he was just going through the motions out there. It was clearly time for a move. He still has the tools to resuscitate his career, and perhaps some time away from the spotlight will help.
I’m glad that it’s abroad so we won’t have to deal with him if he finds his form again.
Disappointed it never worked out for him here… More disappointed in myself for believing this guy was special after watching his first few games… Still believe he is a special footballer, but cant help feeling he never settled in the Merseyside surroundings outside of football…
Wish him all the best and will watch his antics with interest from now on..
The most amazing finishes that Isak would struggle to score, then followed up in the next few games with countless offside and sitters missed. The Liverpool player with the most extreme high/lows I can remember. The Ozzy Osbourne of strikers.
was in a bar in Lanzarote for that. Full of LFC fans and 1 Geordie smirking at HT.
Couldn’t have gone more wrong. VVD off, TAA shouldve been sent off, Ali wonder save and were just awful but held on at 1-0…Then cometh the hour cometh the Nunez, not once…but twice…That bar went off it was bedlam as we were all jumping around. Poor Geordie just sat there in disbelief.
Also re the Forest game. Remember jumping round living room after the winner. Then going out, coming back after a few beers and me and the family all dancing round living room singing - Nunez on fire, your defence is terrified.
Sad to see him go. Wondered if the Jota tragedy might be one of those perverse moments where everything ends up on it’s head and he’d bang in 30 goals next season but it’s not to be.
It’s mad how many of that squad we saw celebrating at the end of the season wont be around anymore with possibly 2 or 3 more to go.
One positive for me is it’s another South American gone, they are generally write-offs after an international break. Just Mac and Allison to worry about now.
Well two years or so for Nunez to fill up his coffers in Saudi. If he rediscovers his form , he can always transfer back to Europe. Even if not back to the EPL.
My favourite one was the Gerrard FA cup Final. I was in London with an ex-gf. In a bar full of West Ham fans and had kept a lid on it all game. Until Stevie’s winning goal. I couldn’t help jumping up screaming and then went running down the street in delight, and kept running
