Him plus Osimhen will be a dream come true. Although I see Gakpo as a young RVP in the sense he is a wide player who will slowly turn into a striker. Pretty exiting talent.

Some people think we don’t need him because Rashford…,
I feel we should be going in for him as the touted price isn't mad.
25m is the rumoured fee - we could probably sell Elanga & Pellistri which would offset quite a bit of that.

Doesn’t turn up in big games. Assists in Ajax game to help take PSV top of the table.
I’d rather we get a RW who can play up top rather than another LW.
Like whom?
Yeah get Donny out somewhere as well and ideally that once great player up front
Yeah need both absolutely desperately
I feel like we should be going for another RW/ST. We’re forever signing left sided players. We’ve no depth on the right what so ever.
We need both
cos he is winger or inside forward ?
25 mln is the fee named by Amsterdam (and Ajax favoured) Newspaper De Telegraaf. The newspaper that values Ajax players double of what they are worth.
Gakpo isn’t going anywhere below 45 mln…..

We need that sort of player because let's face it not getting a number 9 until summer
If we get a big cfwd then we can actually play Pellistri to whip crosses in for him if we play the orthodox way.
Same, it would be satisfyingly balanced.
No idea, such players are hard to come by. We had one until recently, too
Yeah Xavi Simons looks some player but he’s only 19, think Gakpo would be physically and mentally more suited to the Prem at the minute.
For the love of God, get him in January.
Is he the answer to our goalscoring problem?
Doubtful..
Not if Ronaldo is still at United.
Season is finished then.
Ronaldo stays we are fecked,then again that's just how these yankee owners love it
is gakpo a striker ???
Gakpo might not be a striker but he’ll form an incredibly effective partnership with Antony on the opposite wing.
LW it seem's but can play CF. Fancies himself as a Henry type player
Whether he fancies himself as a Henry, CR7 or Van Persie... the issue with these comparisons with former wingers-cum-strikers, is that those guys didn't just have great striking technique. It's that they were also seriously rapid. Gakpo, according to people who have watched him, is a fine striker of the ball and an intelligent player in the link-up, but he isn't particularly explosive.
The transition from winger to striker isn't as easy as people make it sound. If you don't possess some of the natural striker skills or instincts (back-to-goal & hold-up play, heading ability, movement in the box, poaching etc.) then your effectiveness will depend a lot on speed and endurance in order to lead the press, break offside traps and run at defenders.
I don't know to what extent Gakpo has the natural striker skills (I haven't seen enough of him) to make it at the top level, but from what I hear he's not particularly explosive. So that worries me a bit about these Henry or Van Persie analogies. . He could well be another Depay or Sancho instead.

Agreed. I could see it with Felix because he played a lot as a second striker and he's quite strong on the ball but even then it's a flip coin how well he would transition into the position at the highest level.

Relax he’s very very good and if he arrives here he’ll show it.
Can't help feeling we need him AND number 9 not one or the other,however fear our owners will force Erik to choose.
Aye most likely at gun point while his family are forced to watch on in horror. Damn leeches.
is he any better than Malen?
tbf we seem to win them. A flat track bully would actually win us a lot of points.
In the dutch media, Hans Kraaij stated that Pepijn Lijnders sees Gakpo as missing link for Liverpool. He is certain that Liverpool will try to buy him next transfer period
From what I have seen Gakpo doesn't even has 1/3 of the technique of RVP at 19.
I can see it now.
Gakpo goes to Liverpool, plays well and then the majority of the forum who called him shite and not up to the PL or United standard, would then take one big dump on United hierarchy for being frauds for not getting the man they didn’t want, into the club.
You just know it’s true
