Darwin’s finishing and decision making is beyond horrible

He’s one of those players who builds up numbers purely based on the volume of chances he gets rather than because he’s actually good. If we are frustrated by Jesus’ finishing, Darwin is not the answer

That said Havertz has improved immeasurably at Arsenal so if Darwin did the same he’d be awesome.

One thing is true is Darwin could complete the set for team height and power lol.

Darwin—-havertz—-Saka

11 players, 8 beasts and the remaining 3 are robust as well 😂😂

AFCCamden gets it right sometimes. I think there’s legs in this one.

Gyokeres is fine. I dont think we will trigger the release clause, some 70 M or so.

I now seeing this Darwin thing all over the internets.

Who knows.. I just hope we get someone good who can help us

His release clause is £86m.

Even if we manage to bring that down to £70m, the bro was playing in the Championship by the time he was 25 yo. He has literally 1 season in Portugal, that's his career.

Maybe he's a monster striker but I don't see anyone lining up to pay huge money for him. Probably because they want to see more of him before they could commit.

Now the Premier League? The toughest league in the world is a massive jump. It's risky af. Maybe someone who has scouted him more thoroughly knows what's up.

Portugal league aint the toughest test.

Gyokores actually looks good. I have watched a few games recently and he looks really good. Techically sound and he has dribbling ability. Plus he looks like a killer with his finishing from what I saw. If I have to choose he would be first, then Toney. Isak was the guy but he was never realistic.

Expand full comment

I like the idea of Gyokeres but he is scoring against teams like Rio Ave and Firense they are like league 2 teams

He is a gamble

One I would take

Darwin has pace to burn but his finishing is lacking can we get him firing ? Klopp couldn't

18 goals, 13 assists in 3000 mins in all comps last season.

11 goals, 8 assists in 2000 mins in the PL.

If he was to play 3200 mins in the PL that'd be relatively close to 20 goals and 15 assists. It doesn't sound bad, does it...

Lol, extrapolation is not how it works. That is hilarious really. He was benched for Jota because he was missing sitter after sitter. that is why he played 2000 minutes.

Expand full comment

How does extrapolation work, enlighten me?

You want me to consider him like he started in all of the games? He didn't. We don't know why. Maybe he didn't fit well with Salah. Maybe he wasn't meant to play under Klopp. Who knows.

But 11 goals, 8 assists in 2000 mins is pretty solid. He can do even better.

He is such an Arteta player it's insane.

Rap just looking for his Eddie replacement and of course its that donkey Darwin Nunez who misses sitters just like Eddie. Nice try, you're not fooling anyone! Darwin got found out the moment he set foot in PL football, and all it took was a handful of games. Been shit ever since.

Expand full comment

He misses a lot... now laugh at me...

But he misses by much less than our guys. I believe Arteta could fix him just enough. The combo of pace and power he has is rare.

I'll remember this shit take. Izzo and Hab.

Now that I remember, aren't you the guy that said Haaland is a shit striker or something of sorts?

I shouldn't have even replied. I regret it.

Expand full comment

you just said because he scored 11 goals in 2000 minuntes he will score double that in double the minutes. That is the worst type of argument. You just extrapolated his stats to make it look good, But he has scored 20 league goals in two seasons. hahaha. Havertz scored 13 while he was playing midfiled half the season. And Liverpool aren't a grave yard like chelsea for talent. If you are shit at Liverpool under Klopp, you probably are shit.

Nunez at the Emirates eh? Better reinforce those goalposts because they're in for a beating.

Darwin Nunez to the Arsenal?

At the right price, I'd say yes.

Probably £50 million to £65 million

Arsenal interested in signing Darwin Nunez before Friday’s transfer deadline. Player keen to move to London and work under Mikel to win trophies + Liverpool willing to sell. Improbable but not impossible.

____________________________________________________________

Now we're talking. Can play CF and LW. Incredible in transition. Always puts in a shift. Kai and him are the CFs we need to wipe the competition in the next 5 years.

Gives us that much needed explosiveness in attack. Especially in Europe.

Under Arteta he could become a monster, similar to Kai's development.

I know his finishing is bad but I really like him. I would trust Arteta. He could make him a monster.

shit man, maybe this is what Edu was talking about being surprised. Aerial attack and power and pace.

Bro stop pushing this Darwin Nunez Agenda. We are lacking a killer. We already have players that can be nuisances. But the only killer we have is Trossard. I would rather Toney a 1000 perecent than Nunez. FFS.

Habesha he just reporting what on twitter, man. You telling me you want Toney over Darwin?

Expand full comment

If you watched Toney last season against us at the Emirates he would be the last player you would want to see play for us

Expand full comment

Toney over Darwin all the way though. But I am not a big fan of the strikers availabe. I would rather wait it out and sign a winger for now.

Expand full comment

Bahaha

Expand full comment

A 100 percent. Darwin is a frustrating player. Pool fans were crying all season last season. There is a reason why they want him out. He doesn't finish his chances and his technical ability is questionable. Toney is atleast technically really good and will get us goals. And I am not even a massive Toney fan but I would much rather him than Darwin. Darwin will never go past 15 league goals. Havertz is much better than him.

Expand full comment

Have you ever looked at Toney conversion % and numbers without pens? A 1 in 3 striker who everybody in their 11 was servicing.

What is the attraction ?

Expand full comment

I respect your opinion but disagree. Toney is washed. his return last season was dismal. Darwin still has an upside is younger and perhaps Mike can get him firing again. His movement is good and speed. Toney was good but I dont think he has it anymore. Should grab that bag and head to Saudi.

Darwin Nunez in his two seasons at Liverpool playing a heavy metal football that suits him scored 9 and 11 league goals. What do you think will happen when teams are sitting deep against us? He will chase his first touch and will frustrate at Arsenal. He is the ultimate highlight player. When it comes off it looks fantastic but most of the time he is shit.

Why can't we play Martinelli CF ? He has pace and great finishing

I don’t really have any connections with Liverpool, but I work with retired South American footballers and I heard Darwin Núñez is looking for a way out.

__________________________________________________

Yeah, he would be my choice to have at CF. Jesus out, Darwin in would be pretty cool.

I know he has a lot of haters but I love the player.

I love his personality and his goal celebration is my favourite. But his finishing is terrible isn't it? Maybe better than Jesus, but not good...

Lol. 85m Darwin who finds himself on the bench?? Hell Nah.

For the right price.

Love the aggression. Love the punch up with Colombian fans. Fearless. Dude needs to finish better but has no problem pressing from the front. Only thing is Pool aint selling.

Expand full comment

He was an unused sub in their first game and got 18 mins in their second game. Maybe their new manager doesn't like him. There might be a chance.

Them Uruguayan strikers are different breed.

Chiesa for 12m as a Salah backup has to be the deal of the summer provided he stays fit.

Boy we and Chelsea have run through quite a lot of goalies in the past few years

Unless these guys have a strong year, sell, TT, Zin, Jesus in the next summer. We are building a strong robust team and perma crocks need to go. Nice guys but we cannot keep shorting ourselves. 4 cups, we need everyone ready. Their best days are behind them now. Just what it is.
