Nkunku has been incredibly underwhelming for me. He isn't awful, but at best he only becomes an effective player, if the team is built around him. Garnacho, whilst raw, does have something about him where you can see him kicking on a couple of levels quite quickly. As a swap, and even a swap with a bit of funds on top, say £60m for Garnacho and £70m for Nkunku, is a good deal for us. This goes double as Nkunku is one of the top 5 earners on the books still.

Nkunku has talent for sure, but he is easily pushed around in the PL. He is always an injury scare on top of that. I do like how Garnacho is always looking for goal. You really cannot coach that into a player. He definitely has some maturing to do in his game.

Blue Armour 4,759 Posted January 25, 2025 Share Posted January 25, 2025 After that loss to City, I'm pretty sure the directors are preparing a new list of wingers to sign up. That'll solve all our problems. Vesper and Johnnyeye 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,759 Posted January 25, 2025 Share Posted January 25, 2025 (edited) Before someone brings up the Chalobah signing to try and justify things, let's be clear- It was embarrassing enough to recall a player who they had previously isolated from the squad. And recalling Chalobah is just a lazy stop gap option they made in panic, because all their well acclaimed CBs were dropping like flies They're probably counting on Fofana to come back fit as a fiddle next season to grow into this true potential. Just like the almighty Sanchez and the amazing Disasi. Edited January 25, 2025 by Blue Armour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 10,285 Posted January 25, 2025 Share Posted January 25, 2025 Look at Marmoush already looking like a real threat. You can tell from one game he is going to be ten times the player Jackson is. fucking embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
