We could have easily asked him to call his mate mendes and see how we could land him if we're serious about getting him.

If Erik wants him, ten who are we to hague
Let Atletico get him and then take Felix off them.
Or we just get Nunez… much prefer him and would cost slightly cheaper I think since he’s coming from a weaker league.
Like Felix did
I think Felix is a star is all. Has it in him to be a complete forward.
Yes but Nunez is most likely to push for a move to a bigger club wether or not there in the CL where as felix will want to stay or move to another club in the CL
He doesn’t score an awful lot though does he, think he’s got like 8 goals all season in the Spanish league. Doesn’t help playing in a defensive team though to be fair
Yep, this is a case of me looking at the player as opposed to just the numbers. His finishing is actually very good, he’s also good in the air. It’s not beyond him to become a 20 goal striker IMO, I think the ingredients are there.
Yeah but he doesn’t make the decisions on who we sign..
All depends on the price for this transfer. Can not see him being a priority over any of ETH Ajax preferred players.
Yeah that goes without saying, he could definitely vouch for his countrymen who shares his agent though.
Yeah, we've just got to wait for our scouts to make up their minds, then we'll sign him in January instead.
Will back anyone that Erik wants, after all he knows the game much better than me. Yes he may not be the goal machine like Haaland but still could prove a good move
It doesn't make sense that Ten Hag wants to spend half the money on him either really, considering how little the forward spot has been emphasized under him (they played Tadic as a false 9 in Europe and Dolberg and I forget who a lot of the time in the league the year they tore through Madrid for instance).
Feels fake to me, though Nunes does work like a dog and has energy so he'd certainly help us press and also peg teams back a bit because he makes runs in behind and seems quite dangerous against a high line and quite good at contesting long balls forward, so might help the build up play in that way.
He has great upside but also lots of potencial problems can arise if asked to perform consistently at a higher level. He's an amazing athlete, really strong, really fast and a good finisher but strugles against backlines who defend deep, his first touch and decision making has alot of room for improvement also. If the values that are being talked about are true whoever gets him will take a huge gamble.

I see Tuchel has backed up my point today. Its impossible for Tuchel to work on any kind of transfers until the club is sold
Even if he's still a raw talent, I'm sure if we got him this summer we would see him EVOLVE into a more well-rounded player.
Haha. Evolve. Get it?
Haha. Evolve. Get it?
Newcastle united
He snubbed them
Arsenal or Man United then. Likely us since Arsenal are linked with Jesus.
It's us who needs a resurrection.
Are we really going to spunk £80 plus million on bringing in one striker when the rest of house needs fixing?
Sources say we want evolution though, this thread follows logically.
Darwin to spearhead Uniteds evolution. I like that.Well, we're already a fish out of water, aren't we?
Liverpool bound.
Looks an absolute finisher every time I seen him but I don't think he can play well in a possession based team. Seems to be more reliant on others creating space for him to run into and If he does get a sniff at goal he'll put the ball in the net.
Think he's worth the risk If Ten Hag does want him
Think he's worth the risk If Ten Hag does want him
Yep, that sounds exactly like what we would do!
Benfica have plenty of possession against the majority of the teams they play. I really don't understand people saying this.
Get crosses into the box and he'll bang headers away.
Di Marzio is definately discreet by his comment
Still not convinced by him. I would prefer a more technical striker who links up well with the attackers around him to a prolific finisher. Of course it would help if we can find a player who can do both! Not that many great strikers around at the moment though.
Benfica have a habit of massively over inflating fees. I can’t imagine he’ll cost anywhere near £80 million - I would guesstimate more around the £50 million mark.
Di Marzio and Dean Jones strike me as the kind of "journalists" who just publish whatever self-serving information they get from agents, without ever bothering to verify the info like actual journalists would do. I can't recall anyone reliable saying we're seriously in for Nunez.
Agreed surprised it's so quiet around David from Lille. Can pass, press and becoming a great finisher.
With ETH we will only have to wait 3 days or 72 hours.
