Ex-player Darwin Nunez

I think that pretty much sums up his career.

Great lad
Bags of effort
Glimpses of brilliance

Just sadly never kicked on enough.

Oh just found out that in accounting terms, Nunez’s transfer fee is £17 million annually. Jota’s five-year contract has ended, meaning any sale would be pure profit. Nunez remaining book value is £34 million, so a sale below that would be a loss. Therefore, selling Jota might be more beneficial for our accounting books at this time.

Anyone could confirm that ?

He’ll win us the League Cup and then suddenly disappear for a couple of games, it is known.

Nunez did give them something to think about. Not a lot, and he was peripheral and fed off scraps. But his pace and power added an ingredient not in play until he came on.

Diaz buzzed around but was like a gnat. No real end product. Jota tried, but at the highest level we need more, and PSG were not threatened. Salah was comfortably kept at bay by their pace and athleticism too.

Don’t get me wrong, Nunez is not what we need and will likely be replaced. I wish he had Salah’s ability allied with his own athletic gifts, then he would be some player. But we all know the score.

Still, none of the other strikers gave PSG any problems so I don’t want to kick Darwin as if he was the only one.

Imo Nunez will only ever be good if salah leaves, too reliant on playing to salah most of the time in the hope that he will do something, as great as he is, he was pretty much ineffective against psg in both matches.

I’m not sure that’s the case. NĂșñez’s problem is NĂșñez.

I had the game on mute, so I don’t know if the atmosphere was up to scratch, but I saw comments that it was quite muted too. I wonder if Anfield was rocking, NĂșñez would have had more confidence to just hit it harder.

Thats a lame excuse if ever.

Who’s saying it’s an excuse?

I’m literally pointing out that his weak point right now is that his confidence is very fragile. It’s a weakness he needs to work on, an explanation, not an excuse.

632

Of course it is if they crowd was making more noise he may have hit it harder.

:joy:

Yeah, this is becoming a bit n’importe quoi.

It’s been that for quite a while now, little changes!

This is what I put in the post game thread and is the reason Darwin won’t be the player we hoped he would become and also the reason he won’t be our focal point if Mo leaves.

Nunez has not reached the standards we hoped he would, footballing wise although I would say his attitude is commendable.

However, in my ideal mind, I hope he stays and take inspiration from players like Hendo. Never seen as good enough, almost sold, dig in, play like a crazy man running around as long as he could, found a great coach who found a formula to harness his strength and became one of the key players in our best team in probably the PL era.

Not sure it will happen but always love an underdog story so typical of the LFC spirit.
