Darwin Núñez (FW) Benfica

From what I remember of Nunez in the game at Anfield, he played from the left flank and caused us no end of problems. Sure he looks like a natural CF and I’d expect that to be his main role but I don’t think he’s limited to one position

Actually I think that kind of versatility across the front line is very important to us.

To be fair, if you were a center forward, would you willingly occupy the same side of the pitch as Virgil van Dijk?

Fuck me. I’ve been in meetings all morning and find this thread waiting for me at lunchtime, with over 120 posts already…

I assume you’ve all seen him play the requisite ten times.

3rd fastest.

They forgot the speed of Man U’s exit.

You lot are a bunch of fucking teases. Left with just a couple of posts on this thread, came back and it’s 128 or something. Thought, alright, must see something in this, one of the major journos must have said it’s deal done or something and it’s just a formality.

Instead I find crossing stats for our fullbacks and top speeds. Just need someone to pitch in with his jump height now… :roll_eyes:

Of course, we have had a history of Nunez’s:

I admit that I’ve only watched him a few times. So on a football forum, I suppose that makes me an expert.

From the small sample of games I’ve seen, he does like an Ashley Young style tumble. That would need to be stamped out asap.

He’ll soon realise that such things at LFC are completely pointless.

Yeah as I said with Son, after five minutes he would realise there is no point here

All morning in meetings and arrives in with the best post in the thread

Apparently Elliotts hair dresser is now following Nunez on Instagram.

It’s a done deal :+1:

We’ve proven before when we want to sign a key part of our spine and a player Jurgen wants we spend what it takes… Alisson, Van Dijk etc. 22, so 8 years till he leaves for Barca, PSG or Real on a free. Enjoy it whilst it lasts.

I’m going to let myself get excited. Price seems way to high for a kid who hasn’t proved himself at the top level yet, but I’ll need to get over that. Will be great to have a different kind of option in the middle, create space for the rest and also be able to snatch the half chances at a higher rate that we can right now.

if we dont sign him then he is shit and never good enough anyway.

If we do…Welcome aboard son

I’ve watched Nunez twice, the two times he played us in CL.

That said, I can’t get enough of that video ZB posted earlier. Ruthless finisher. I get it, quality of competition in some of those clips and all of that but he takes everyone on and can strike from anywhere.

Just my own perception of course but for me he has that Luis ruthless mentality.
