Lol, referring to the fact it was Houllier and not Rafa who didn’t sign Anelka and bought DIouf.

I thought so! Cunts.
Not fucking good enough.
Has there been any Nunez related post in the last 50 posts?
Meh - who cares - we should have signed him!
I still haven’t forgiven him for selling Clemence to Spurs.
It is an odd one when you compare it to someone like Salah or Mane. Sure, neither of them carried the “centre forward premium” but you’d say both had a bit more of a body of work behind them.
I’ve always thought the Portuguese league was over priced as a league. They aren’t a top five league but they command hefty fees for the players even though there are only really three competitive teams and usually only one or two of those are any good at any time.
They do produce or sell very good players though, so it’s an expensive shop with a decent reputation. But you’re absolutely right, we’re not buying finished articles but we are paying a fair amount more than we have for “players on the cusp” in the past. Perhaps that’s not unreasonable to expect in this case due to a number of factors. The overall market has been inflated, he’s a premium position player, he comes from a league that demands top whack for players and we had United sniffing about too.

What! It is still amazing. My eldest wept tears when he first saw it aged 4, both when Baloo appeared dead and when Mowgli went into the village.

Is it just me or do I care what a Chelsea fan thinks, I have to say they are often the most clueless bunch going.

Focus more on the insight from the Benfica fan.

That’s the problem I wish he had done it on his own, like listening to a Tory, I can’t even if the opposition is good.

RabonaTV actually did a video on his own, as posted earlier. However, the discussion with MAH has led to additional insight by RabonaTV.

Fantastic show from an entertainment pov, enjoyed the actor as well, and if my memory serves me correctly, his career was ruined through excessive substance abuse (think it was alcohol).
And to keep this on topic and relevant. If Darwin avoids helicopters and alcohol, he will be great for us.

Fair enough, I might check that out
A lot of these vids pointing out that he lacks in technical ability, not the sort of player we have become used to in that respect it seems. I wouldn’t say I’m worried, I’m confident that our transfers team will be a few steps ahead of the YouTube pundits and there will be a clear plan of how we intend to use Nunez. I do think however we need to temper our expectations, I don’t think he comes in and starts every game and becomes the next Liverpool legend like Torres did. More likely that he provides a different option to Jota or Firmino, and I imagine it will be a ‘horses for courses’ situation out of which one of them start. Assuming Mane does go of course, if not, what a choice Klopp has.

Everyone pointed out the deficiencies in Mane and Salah too…and they turned out okay. Im with you on trusting the club here.
