CL football, plus use some wiggle room in the sponsorship rules to give him a contract on a par with what he can get anywhere else, and he will be happy to stay. As long as the club shows it is ready to mix it with the big boys then there's no better place to be than here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d assume it’s a cstch twenty-two though in that by offering him a massive contract on par with what he’d get elsewhere; we’re limiting the wages we can offer new players.

Think regardless we’ll have a busy summer, and although Europe is important for keeping Isak, bringing in high calibre players will play a big part as well.

Menace Posted yesterday at 05:55 Share Posted yesterday at 05:55 Nunez scuffs chances that Liverpool put on a plate for him. In another Prem team he's barely a 1 in 4 striker. I will genuinely be outraged if they get their money back from him from a Saudi team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted yesterday at 06:31 Share Posted yesterday at 06:31 (edited) I don’t think we can keep him without CL football and we’ll use the money for a massive rebuild. If we get CL he stays I’m sure maybe even signing a new contract. The caveat being if we get Europa league and he’s happy enough to stay plus we hold firm on a high valuation that then prices most teams out and he’s sold the following summer with two years left in his contract and a cheaper fee for those wishing to buy (or we get champs league following season and he stays).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted yesterday at 09:01 Share Posted yesterday at 09:01 (edited) There’s absolutely no way we should sell him this summer with his contract being so long - CL or not.

In another Prem team he's barely a 1 in 4 striker. I will genuinely be outraged if they get their money back from him from a Saudi team. He has great movement and box instincts. Tall, fast, decent in the air. Can strike off both feet. And most impressively he doesn’t shrink when he misses. He rushes his shooting too much and is off the cuff with his finishing. The best finishers have stock finishes and a high level of composure for the impromptu finish. Isak has both but is weakest when he does an impromptu finish when a stock finish is better suited. Nunez has neither. But this can improve with experience and confidence. Nunez is like Dembele to me. Got a lot of tools to be a great player but it hasn’t come together. Dembele put it together at 27. Nicholas Jackson is similar. There’s a lot to like imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted yesterday at 10:02 Share Posted yesterday at 10:02 Nunez has plenty of excellent physical attributes. But he always looks like someone that started playing football 10 months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted yesterday at 10:25 Share Posted yesterday at 10:25 Nunez is a non-starter, Liverpool rejected a £70m bid for him last month, so they would expect that sort of value in any deal. IMO he is worth around half that, he’s a player with some good raw attributes but that needs a lot of work, and he’s not a kid anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted yesterday at 11:10 Share Posted yesterday at 11:10 (edited) I think Nunez is actually a really good player, but not a consistent goalscorer. Fast, strong when he's not diving, plays off both feet, bit of skill. It's just when he gets near the box, he almost always has a rush of blood to the head and misses so many good chances. He's also constantly offside. Not ideal traits for a striker Edited yesterday at 11:11 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
