Darwin Núñez (FW) Benfica

I can already see a narrative forming that we paid 100m pounds for him. That seems to be what fans of other clubs are going with.

I think this is largely a panic buy due to Origi leaving. w/o Origi, we don’t have a big guy up front that will score the important goals at Everton…

The transfer price would have taken a huge hit though. As would interest from similar clubs to liverpool.

Anyway , thats his agents fault.

Seeing as Benfica have all but confirmed it here is Nunez’s lean poll. Choose wisely.

True, and probably why he ended up at betis, but a club is more likely to take a punt on a player that might have an injury than one who will dick them around over their wages

They support other clubs, already tells you they arent that bright.

In Fekir’s case , it was a combination of his injury and his family member hankering for an increased price which led other clubs to take a hard pass on him after liverpool rejected.

For all intents , liverpool were okay to still take him forward despite the injury record. The family member wanting his share of money after all the terms had been agreed with his original agent was what pushed liverpool out.

Delighted it looks that this one is all done.

All the talk of Man Utd trying to hijack the move was laughable, I mean, Liverpool was always going to be Darwin’s natural selection.

Looking forward to the official announcement from the club. I’ve already said that I’m not sure about him, but here’s hoping Darwin makes a monkey out of me.

United really needed a striker. And they were interest from their side in Nunez for a long time. This is Karma Mk 2 , All the time when United under whiskynose would swoop in after the ground work had been laid by other teams using their name and the promise of competing for the top prizes in the game.

Lets hope that a little Lemarkism will also play a role here in leading to his success!

Possibly, but i would think the bad knee story would be more damaging to the players prospects than his brother asking for more money.

Aguero being the big one.

Carroll was available for £1m 6 months earlier, iirc, then we went into desperation mode when we lost Torres and FSG, as new owners, felt they had to spend that money and placed themselves in the hands of Comolli. Their instinct was otherwise to wait until the summer but they felt under pressure to show intent in the transfer market.

Ah well.

Dalglish was definitely a fan of Carroll though.
