Emergency cover, sure, but he's the best pick for the Left AM position.As someone who hasn't watched all that much of him, how serious a prospect is he as a #9?
I get that #10 would be his best position for us. But would he fill in well enough at #9 to be a strong option there, or an emergency cover kind of option?
Yeah, Sancho, Antony and Rashford need to leave for us to be able to afford both him and Gyokeres. Don't see us getting both otherwise.Can only see it happen if we can offload Rashford. Cunha would be a perfect fit here. Bruno's class whether he plays right 10 or left 10, so who really cares as long as we get some quality and creativity in.
Dream scenario for me would probably be Diogo Costa, Cunha and Gyökeres, but only 1 will probably happen.
How many years left does Costa have on his contract? Would he be affordable?Can only see it happen if we can offload Rashford. Cunha would be a perfect fit here. Bruno's class whether he plays right 10 or left 10, so who really cares as long as we get some quality and creativity in.

Absolutely feck thatStill bigger than city. Better fan base. They’ve won there first trophy so there on the way up since being bought by Saudis. It’s the way forward now unfortunately. We missed a trick
I think it depends on what kind of profile Amorim wants from each position.Everyone says Bruno is our best player. He's world class. We should never sell him. Then as soon as a shiny toy comes in we shove him either in midfield or right 10 where is less effective. Just because Bruno had a couple of decent games in midfield against weaker opposition does not make him a world class midfielder. He's a word class left 10, a good midfielder and a good right 10. Same as Garnacho who is a left 10 and Zirkzee who can play there and then everyone wants Mainoo as the 10.
So who are you selling and who are you fking up by playing them out of position? Might as well sell Bruno if we want to fk him up like we did with Mata, we did with Rashford as a striker and on and on
Its option b.I think it depends on what kind of profile Amorim wants from each position.
You could argue bruno has had more good games in midfield for Amorim than he has at the 10. You could also that the reason Bruno is being played in midfield is because there no decent ball progressors there at the moment.
He has a clause Im sure. Think it’s above 55How many years left does Costa have on his contract? Would he be affordable?
Thread titleHe has a clause Im sure. Think it’s above 55
Saying Bruno isnt at a high level operating in the right half space is madness. He's been amazing there for us and Portugal many times. Ten Hag used him primarily from the right too. And anyway, Bruno likes to roam, and Bruno and Cunha can easily switch in game.Everyone says Bruno is our best player. He's world class. We should never sell him.

Got a trophy, nailed on to finish in CL spots and one of the most passionate fanbases around. If you are an overseas player like Cunha with no affiliation to either club and you are comparing us to them right now it is a no brainer to sign for the toon.
I think this needs pinning. I've seen a lot of comments regarding his temperament but Bruno has more red cards than Cunha has in his entire career. He gets a lot less yellow cards tooTransfermarkt has him at a whopping 1 red card in 264 senior club matches!
Yeah good pointI think it depends on our outgoings. If we sold Garnacho, I think Cunha is a better fit to replace him but if we let Zirkzee go then Eze.
Is suspect Palace will be demanding a lot more than £60m for Eze though.
Personally I prefer the way Eze plays but I think with this team, we do need a bit more directness as I feel we only get that from Bruno and Garnacho and Cunha is much more likely to bring that I think.
I never said he wasnt good at right 10. I said its not his optimal position. He is a better left 10 than a right 10. Thats just a fact. So why put your best player in his weaker position? And Amorims 10's are ery different to ETH's 10. He cant roam so much and needs to cover the right spaceSaying Bruno isnt at a high level operating in the right half space is madness.

Porto won't budge from the release clause for sure. Too expensive for us now, for keepers we will have to bargain hunt.How many years left does Costa have on his contract? Would he be affordable?
He's asking about Diogo Costa.Thread title
I want and I reckon Ruben wants 10s that can beat men. I think long term he sees Bruno as his progression midfielder.I never said he wasnt good at right 10. I said its not his optimal position.

I'd say Eze was more similar to Amad in style, but Amad is better. For that reason I prefer Cunha, you don't want too much of the same thing on either side. Cunha drifts inside and opens up space for our wing back. Amad tries to beat them on the byline and allows the RWB to invert. Isn't that how Sporting used to play under Amorim too?Who is better fit out of him and Cunha?

One game against Lyon. Case closed, your honor. Give me a break. If he is so much better on the right then why has he been playing left 10 all his career. Rashford had good games as striker. Mata had good games at RW. Heck Maguire just had a blinder as a 9. Doesnt make that their best positionToday showed why this is absolute bs
He didn’t score enough goals when he played as no 9 at Atletico Madrid and his first season at Wolves. He also cover the no 9 role this season when wolves striker was injured and he still managed to score.As someone who hasn't watched all that much of him, how serious a prospect is he as a #9?

Are you on about Bruno? If so what you on about playing left 10 most of his career? We have literally only played with two tens for about half a season. He is normally an attacking midifielder with two behind him.One game against Lyon. Case closed, your honor. Give me a break.

You should be able to tell just by watching games, but go see a heatmap of Bruno. Yes he is all over the pitch and yes on the right side as well. But he does his majority of his work on the left channel. Were people being obsessed about new positions and roles when Rashford was playing striker? Are people being obsessed when they say some of the players dont fit Amorim's system? Or should you play your best players in their best position the majority of the time?Are you on about Bruno? If so what you on about playing left 10 most of his career? We have literally only played with two tens for about half a season. He is normally an attacking midifielder with two behind him.
People get obsessed about creating new positions and titles
Yeah feel he would be an useful signing as works best as a left sided 10, however could also cover for main striker down the middle when it's requiredHe didn’t score enough goals when he played as no 9 at Atletico Madrid and his first season at Wolves. He also cover the no 9 role this season when wolves striker was injured and he still managed to score.
He reminds me of Martial as a no 9, except I think he has better work rate off the ball than Martial. The aspects he reminds of martial are he’s very good as ball carrier, very good dribbler, has flair, very good in tight spaces and knows how to protect the ball.
Overall, he wasn’t clinical as no 9 and the role that makes him really good right now is the L10. Despite of these, Cunha is still considered far better no 9 than Hojlund. My opinion is that to challenge for top 4 as a no 9 he would be just fine for us. I think if we fail to sell Hojlund or Zirkzee, we can only sign 1 attacker, then Cunha would be the ideal signing.
Yes. I'd prefer Cherki but would be happy with Cunha.Do you take Cherki or Cunha over Garnacho? If yes, which one is you prefer between Cherki and Cunha?
Do you also sell Mainoo and replace him with a speedy AM?
Not the answer you're after but I want both and we need it. Wouldn't sell Garnacho either. We need more ball carriersDo you take Cherki or Cunha over Garnacho? If yes, which one is you prefer between Cherki and Cunha?
Do you also sell Mainoo and replace him with a speedy AM?
Cherki is not happening at £20mCherki for £20m over Cunha at £60m seems a no brainer. Especially when Cunha seems to be an absolute nutjob. That extra £40m to spend could be the difference between a decent and a top striker.
Cherki is not happening at £20m
Damn the reports about his fee last summer, his stock has definitely risen. I'd imagine he'd cost closer to £45m
Ceiling is higher though, so even then he's better value for money.
With Rashford and Antony money, we can get both Cherki and Cunha without selling Garnacho and Mainoo.
