Darwin Nunez

[JockStrap]

Ah, fair enough. Been a busy week.

Not like you to get it totally wrong.

[JockStrap]

Is it possible Mo is so scared Darwin runs offside if he doesn’t rush the pass?

No.

[tim_ev]

Well If he doesn’t make the grade as a striker for us, maybe we can transfer him to our scouting team!

Wouldn't Cunha be a good replacement if we did sell nunez?

Would be a real surprise if we sold Darwin.

Would be a real surprise if we sold Darwin.

I could see him given the boot in the summer. Hasn't done enough.

What a Cunha...

Works his socks off for the side - him and Szoboszlai probably get through more facilitative "dirty work" running than anyone.

Also in terms of how many goals or assists per minute he has been getting since he arrived here, it's one per every 112 minutes.

To give some context -

Jota also at a goal/assist per every 112 minutes.
For Origi, every 124 minutes.
For Mane, every 133 minutes.
For Firmino, every 135 minutes.
For Gakpo, every 144 minutes.
For Diaz, every 159 minutes.

His pace keeps opposition centre-backs and their defensive lines busy, he is chipping in hugely with the tackles under Slot and he is getting caught offside far less often.

Also, he is available a lot - even starting when our other South Americans were seemingly deemed too jet-lagged.

If he is sold, he's sold - but I think it would be the wrong shout. Lacks a bit of composure/"cool head" in one-on-one situations at times, but a valuable asset to this squad for sure.

All true. But he's a striker who doesn't score enough goals.

If only those stats equated with the reality Sid. I have been waiting and waiting too but the lad consistently serves up a menu loaded with zero composure - in the pass and the strike
