Darwin Núñez

[Catrin]

Thoughts on his golden boot chances at the World Cup?

[Kenneth]

Hope so then we can sell him on quickly without too big a hit.

[labourRed]

Nah, I think he'll be quality if we surround him with players who aren't over the hill or just ****.

in what way are over the hill or just **** players at fault for him continually hitting shots directly at keepers and mis-controlling the ball?

The fundamentals are seriously lacking

[Charly]

He can still do a job in a good team. I dont think he is worth a third of what we paid though. He will score goals one week and look **** the next.

He is still better value than Harry Maguire.

[danperkins]

He was awful tonight but certainly not alone. He will score goals but it's pretty obvious that is technically awful. Touch and passing is way off but he gets chances in every game and needs to take them.

Dissapointing but certainly not our main concern.

[Kenneth]

He’s not in liability territory, clearly, but if we were offered what we paid, would anyone decline it?

[spud_gun]

We'd be lucky to get half of what we paid for him.

Nope. Passing range, hard work, moments of quality.

He's under pressure but the close range save, I don't think he could've done a lot better. We'll have to disagree on him but I'm not worried about him in the fullness of time.

I think he'll be fine if:

1) he can take his chances earlier
2) he can realise that the target is not the goalkeeper

I know that sounds really critical, but actually I think he'll make it. He has speed, technique and physicality. Just needs to demonstrate he also has a brain and recognises he is not playing in Portugal anymore.

He is quick, determined and his movement is great but he is technically awful if we are being honest.

[Charly]

So its ok to think that he is **** now?

FFS...

FFS...

I'm not saying that

[Charly]

Lol... I always thought he was a bit ****, fwiw... But we need to make the best of it, and he can be effective in a Cisse or Benteke kind of way.

He is better than Keane, Babel, Voronin or Aspas

[Exiled_red]

I think he's decent, was denied by a couple of decent saves.

My biggest concern isn't about his quality but how he fits into or affects our system
