He has been at Athletico for 1 year. Alarm bells should be ringing if they are willing to let him go already.

He came on in the 87th min at the weekend with the game decided.

Last season, he played 29 La Liga games. 21 as a sub. Started 8 games and was brought off in each.

HE HAS NOT PLAYED ONE FULL GAME IN LA LIGA !

Wouldn't read too much into that. You don't play 90 minutes for Atletico unless you're a defender and/or a gigantic time-wasting shithouse.
 
How reliable are the sources linking us with the player?
 
Both are strikers, United need a striker. Sesko is taken by Leipzig.
So why is it between the 2 when one is not available.

Cunha isn’t really a striker either.
 
More bollocks, the guy couldn't get a game for Atletico but he is apparently good enough for United.

Also think Talksport are one of the worst for breaking stories, I'm sick of hearing we've agreed a fee.
We can’t sign players that live up to your version of a good Utd player, they don’t want to play for us.

Wasn’t Joao Felix on the bench for them a lot initially? Would take him in a heartbeat.

Shrager and Matteo Moretto are very reliable. TalkSPORT isn't, and Simon Jones functions more like an aggregator than someone with info from certain sources.
 
Talksport sources has a bit about them, apparently.

I think they got a few things right a while ago with the "Talksport sources" shite, especially re Woodward and some other signing as far as I can remember but then since then they seem to have been just as shite as usual Talksport rumours

The bar isn't exactly high atm.
 
If it’s Alex Crook then Talksport sources have substance.

Hes like the most reputable journalist they’ve ever had and they’re the radio equivalent of a red top newspaper, so no doubt a reputable organisation will be sweeping him up soon.

And?

I’m not sure you’ve noticed this, but we’re not very good at football. Indeed Cunha’s side easily dispatched us out of Europe last year.
 
Really liked him in Germany, but he hasn’t seemed to have done too much in Spain yet.

I mean.... yeah?

Atletico are a CL side who finished third in La Liga last season.

We have no CL, finished 6th in the PL and have started so badly this season that we're currently something like 39/5 to finish in the top four this season.

There are a lot of players not starting for better teams who are good enough for us right now.
 
He looks like a fun player to watch, get like 3 of him and replace our entire attack.

No attacker has stood out at a Simeone side since Griezmann first time round. Felix is the closest and even then you’d hardly say there aren’t massive question marks still. Not really an environment where I’d be comfortable judging at least.

We could build an entire team with such players and improve all positions. :(

Atleti had a lot of attacking options with Carrasco, Correa, Suarez, Griezmann, Lemar, Cunha and Felix for the winger/attacking positions so he'd obviously not get to a play a lot. This year they've lost Suarez but brought back Morata so his minutes would be limited again. He was pretty good whenever he did play though so this would be a good signing. Hopefully we can also try and sneak Ronaldo into this deal.
 
I have a mate who supports Liverpool and fancied him as a Firmino replacement. Apparently he's that kind of 'striker'.

I wouldn't mind a Firmino type (Firmino at his best, not these past few years) but that type only works when you have insane goal output elsewhere like Liverpool did with Mane and Salah. We have Rashford and Sancho :nervous:
 
He played for Hertha and Atletico in the bigger leagues. Hertha are a disaster of a football club for years now, like a worse version of Everton. And Atletico are super defensive, with Simeone trusting his regular soldiers.

The guy has potential, that ETH can unearth. I am convinced.
 
Look good beside goal scoring. Around 50mil is too steep. Doesn't feel like his value deserves that 20mil appreciation (Atletico paid 30mil for him IIRC). Book cooking with Atletico signing Ronaldo later on?
 
23-year-old attacker featuring in most games for Atletico (albeit often from the bench) and in the Brazil squad. Hard to see how you could get much lower than 40 million pounds. This is certainly more exciting than the other names we've been linked with.
 
Those pressing stats :drool:

Defensive stats and assists per 90 are insane. And he is not from Austria. Wow.

Shrager isn't reliable at all... You've confused him with someone. Shrager a known bullshitter who pretends like he has sources but doesn't.
 
And?

I’m not sure you’ve noticed this, but we’re not very good at football. Indeed Cunha’s side easily dispatched us out of Europe last year.

He didn't play in either game in the CL last year.
Agree. We are crap on the pitch and off it. But we are buying teams cast offs for close to double what they bought them for the prior season.

I'd like to know what he's BS'd. Besides the Vitinha transfer, I don't recall him getting anything particularly wrong over the years.
 
If he’s going to run and press from the front then it’s an improvement
 
Is anyone able to find a nerdy analytical video on this guy?

Can't seem to find any. Granted, this time tomorrow there'll be about 50.
 
Wondering how ambitious he is if he wants to join us
 
Who? Is he better than Kalajdzic for those who've seen him play?
