Matheus Cunha

[2 man midfield]

Weren’t we offered this guy by Atletico for less than that?

 

[JB7]

We need more than 1 player per position?

It's almost as if people forget that players get injured and we can choose to change half the outfield players mid-game every game if we wanted to.

 

[JJ12]

We need more than 1 player per position?

Correct - but I dare say we need to actually fill starting positions before paying high prices for rotational/back up players.

Well there's absolutely no chance of signing Mbuemo so it's a pointless discussion

 

[DannyCAFC]

Well there's absolutely no chance of signing Mbuemo so it's a pointless discussion

Why?

 

[red_de_pologne]

Why?

His manager said there's 0% chance he's sold this month for starters, the fee would be beyond our reach too I imagine.

 

[Berbaclass]

Brentford are a selling club. It's their entire model.

 

[DannyCAFC]

I'm not sure anybody mentioned signing him in January at all.

I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility, though Brentford's +1 option makes it a bit more difficult which I didn't realise they had until just now.

Yeah he won't move in January

I think the discussions got muddled because it turns out Cunha hasn't signed his new contract yet, so there's a chance he could be attainable now, Mbuemo would only be in the summer if at all. I'd prefer Cunha tbh, he looks exactly what we need.

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

He's the kind of player we should be signing.

 

[Glorio]

Rafael Leao is the dream for me.

Disagree - I think he's a physical pace merchant and doesn't have the guile or ability to play in tight spaces

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Brentford are a selling club. It's their entire model.

They might sell Wissa though, I'd imagine they're very reluctant to lose them both in short order.

 

[Berbaclass]

They would sell if a good enough offer came in I think.

Knowing Brentford they will already know who they are replacing him with.

 

[Baneofthegame]

Weren’t we offered this guy by Atletico for less than that?

Pretty sure it was the 50 million pound figure then, which is why a lot of people weren’t convinced.

 

[Munkehboi]

Good footballer but seems like a toxic bell end. Don't want anymore of those at our club.

 

[Nickelodeon]

I can't think of a more suitable PL player to play on the left side of our tucked in 10 position. He has been absolutely quality this season. For those who want a glimpse, just see his highlights from Fulham away this season. He can drop deep and pick out a beautiful ball, he can take on defenders and run through the lines and while he's not a prolific scorer, he would still get enough needed from attacking midfield. If we are serious about selling Garnacho, we have to replace him with a PL ready attacker, and at 25 years of age, we have to look at him. Liverpool built a lot of their recent success on identifying players from lower PL clubs and making them better within their team. Not all our signings have to carry the expensive PL price tag but we should look at a few PL ready players, especially for the front 3.

 

[Berbaclass]

 

[BuzzKillington]

I can’t comment on his personality, which may be a concern given the managers comments and his hitting of that opposition bench person a few weeks ago. But on a footballing ability basis, this would be a great signing for the right price.

 

[FlawlessVictory88]

Disaster if Arsenal sign Cunha. Unreal how bad we are in the transfer market.

 

[gulli_G]

Where would he fit in there?

 

[hellhunter]

Where would he fit in there?

Assumption for me is at 10 with Bruno in CM or Amad RWB

 

[gulli_G]

Sorry I meant Arsenal who have Odegard and are hunting a striker. Unless he plays on wing or they change formation.

I really hope we Gazump them straight after agreeing Gernacho fee.

Oh right, sorry

 

[The Red Thinker]

We don’t have the money until we offload. This much is obvious. No need to go over the board.

 

[gulli_G]

Reliable?

 

[Idxomer]

He can play as a striker.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

I mean, I'd freaking love to see him at Utd as it would be a big boost to creativity in our attacking players. But I just don't see it happening because it looks like maybe Amad and Bruno are going to occupy the 10 slots (with Mount figuring if he's ever fit).

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Disagree - I think he's a physical pace merchant and doesn't have the guile or ability to play in tight spaces

Yeah Leao is basically just another young version of Rashford but without the pure ball striking

 

[Jimmy Greenhoff's Chest]

He can play as a striker.

Not his best position though, and Arsenal need a striker. They've tried Havertz up front and it hasn't really worked, and now lost Jesus who's been playing up front or wide. Cunha's best position would be Odegaards, so hopefully we can still get him

Bruno has also been playing CM, Amad has been playing RWB, even if both were our first choice 10s there's still plenty of options to accommodate all 3 in the same side.

 

[Berbaclass]

Yes!

 

[VP89]

Yes!

Bit of a cliff edge after Cunha.

 

[Berbaclass]

 

[Berbaclass]

 

[redNATION]

Cunha and Mbuemo would be great as the 10s in Amorims system, and more gettable than the likes of Wirtz.

 

[The Purley King]

Please get this guy!

 

[DannyCAFC]

They have money and you don't. They are also 2nd in the table not 13th.

 

[CallyRed]

No one's ever said they are happy in Wolverhampton. Clearly lying.

 

[ROFLUTION]

If we got the money, then he’s a no brainer.
