He's slower than dirt...guys like him are easy to mark bc you know he can't out run you which allows the defender to take risks and really put him under pressure at all times

I agree. I am also a bit disappointed by that. I think, he is the sort of striker, that could work well with fast runners either side like Rashford and Garnacho. As he is able to hold up to some degree and he also has a good eye for a final ball. Thats what I mean, right now, everything being shit makes everyone look even worse as they are.
I guess, we'd be on the same page when a sale would be considered. I wouldn't have went for him either.
Yeah will never understand that or Mount, think you can also throw Onana in there too
Agreed on Mount as well
Not even our worst signing in the relative short term!
you actually rate him as a player?
27 goals and 5 assists and he still has half a season ahead.
How are you getting that from my post?
I said he's not even our worst recent transfer, let alone of all time!
Sign him in summer. Sell Zrikzee and show OT what a real striker can do
vs Haaland this season, he is more dynamic than him.
The only thing I’m not keen on with this guy is that he drifts out wide a lot of the time during games. We need a focal point, someone to stay central.
I mean, it's quite hard to argue his playing style wouldn't be the right option for us in an Amorim side?
He was the main striker in Amorim's system, he drifts out wide to stretch teams and make space for the No10's to score.
Concerning wide players, how good is his teammate Trincao?
If that’s what we want to play then it won’t suit Bruno as he lacks of pace to exploit the space. And instead of spending big money on striker who drifts out wide to stretch teams, we might should just coach Zirkzee to do that and sign a goalscorer no 10 who has dribbling skills and pace.
So we have to buy two number 10s to accommodate him
I think there’s probably more chance of coaching Bruno to exploit that space as there is of getting Zirkzee to play the same role as Gyokeres.
Very good but I think Goncalves is better.
All well and good when he's getting passed to.....bring him to Utd and see what happens with the 10 plumbers behind him.
vs Haaland this season, he is more dynamic than him.
Isnt that a good thing? Adds more dimension to the attack. So teams cant just clog him and make us not able to score goals. Like Haaland, never liked his style.
Good point. If we have the right 10s it should work.
Fair enough, it worked for sporting but we have a lot tougher defenders in this league.
Bruno won't suit Amorim's system, he does not suit the 8 position or the 10 for Amorim's style. Luckily he's getting close to 30 and we could use that as an excuse to move him on.
One No10 (as we already have Diallo) to suit Amorim's system not him as his running of the channels is part of the instructions from Amorim.
Agree, we need to ship those plumbers out.
vs Haaland this season, he is more dynamic than him.
Yeah he has proper stat attacked him, big question is can he do it outside of Portugal. Appreciate he was at Coventry but leading the line at Utd is a totally different level
Crap source but nice to dream
Yeah can't see him leaving mid season, like you said a totally crap source unfortunately
Generally.Generally - or how much better is he than what we have ?
Ruben clearly stated he wouldn’t go for any sporting players mid season. Doesn’t strike me as someone that would go back on his word.
Even if a reliable source like The Mirror say otherwise?
I mean not to be pedantic, but its not him responsible for transfers. Berrada, Wilcox and co could decide he's having him as early as January, and Amorim can only shrug his shoulders and absolve himself. He could in theory attempt to veto it on sentimental grounds, but as someone who's probably in a slightly precarious position, I doubt he'd be so stubbornly principled. And lest we forget Mr Decent bloke himself Moyes gave his word he wouldn't go for any of Everton's players, only to go all in on Fellaini and Baines towards the end of the season
But it would be a dick move from us for sure.
I’m certain there is at least a handshake agreement that he wouldn’t poach players if he was leaving mid season. One for the summer and fills a priority position.
I know, it’s such a dilemma, I don’t know who to believe as the mirror is the definition of integrity.
Are people happy with his stats after Amorim left considering the league level he is playing at?
I seriously doubt we're interested in him. The club and scouting department will be aware he's not nearly as good as he's been made out to be.
Are you actually joking
centredevils post anything and everything. It could be true but we can't take this seriously, they just post every possible transfer knowing some will be true.
Sporting have already sacked the guy brought in to replace Amorim, I'm sure they gave him some assurances when he was hired also.
A lot changes in a few months in football.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if United did go in for Gyokeres in Jan.
