Dr. Gonzo Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I'm not sure it's the right kind of signing for United. We're probably only looking at making 1 or 2 signings this summer and we're sort of in a position where the squad is very good that one or two additions is really all we need to stay competitive. United need 4-5 big signings, sure I think they might need a striker as well... but the market for top strikers is actually quite narrow and as a result you get mental prices like this. Whereas, I think they can midfielders and defenders that are close to top level that can be developed into top players for a much cheaper price. And that'd probably be better for United in the long run as they seek to rebuild. But they're not quite in a position where they can splash that much cash on one player and expect to see drastic results. Whereas I can see us bedding in Nunez pretty slowly despite him likely to become our record signing because we've still got Diaz - Jota - Salah as a pretty good front 3 on paper. I wonder how much the way we attack will change if we end up landing Nunez. Cos based on his stats and the little I saw of him against us, Nunez looks more like a traditional striker than any player we've signed to play in our attack since Origi... and if he's going to be a focal point of our attack that's going to be a pretty massive change to how we currently play. Could be just what we need for big games, because in 3 finals I think we played well but we were crying out for that bit of a strikers instinct to break through tough defenses. But it could also be a risk because our attack has definitely been very successful playing the way we've played for the past few years. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Reluctant Striker Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 He makes a lot of sense when you think it through. A few years back he was scheduled on a FIFA to be exactly this type signing for a top club somewhere. It does make more sense that he would replace Origi's squad place more than Mane. And pushing Firmino further down the queue for game time. The likes of Jota, Diaz & Mane not being used centrally quite so much. If all goes to this apparent plan. Poor old Harry Kane though. He's left hoping to replace Lukaku at Chelsea at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 On 09/06/2022 at 01:28, Dr. Gonzo said: I mean really PSG signing Neymar created the modern day transfer economy, but it had become grotesque far before them. Neymar is a genuine top talent though so it's normal he smashes the transfer record. We've seen it happen throughout history. Signings like Coutinho to Barcelona and Lukaku to Man United around that time were bigger changers for me because even just above average players go for exorbitant fees now, rather than just your generational talents.

It could be hard for someone from modest roots reconciling with their wealth, because they no longer fit in where they came from and they probably don’t fit in where their money takes them.
