Darwin Nunez being compared to Haaland is hilarious. The guy has 8 PL goals this year. The rest in crappy competitions like League Cup and Europa. Last year he scored 9 in the PL. Jesus who was injured most of the season and outscored him. Maybe a flop is a bit harsh but he is nowhere near being elite. He was actually signed for £85M including add ons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
he has 8 goals and 7 assists in the league. You only have one player that beats that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For £85M that is rubbish
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dam don’t Anthony to the mancs then.

This proves to me that you know nothing about football and are only focusing on the one stat and not the overall picture. He’s hit the woodwork 9 times this year. If he were more fortunate, and let’s face it, it is a lack of fortune when you hit the post, he’d be above Mo Salah in the scoring charts if they’d gone in. Let’s have this conversation in another couple of years because I genuinely believe he has 25-30 goals in him per season.

Also, he’s been on the bench a lot.

Nunez is young and still a project. You can't compare him with dinosaurs like Jesus.

How is clown shoes doing at Spurs these days?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Clown shoes? I'm guessing you mean Werner?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, Son. A number of your fans referred to him as that for about 3 or 4 years. He got absolute pelters from your lot after failing to immediately justify his €30m fee.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure that's true. He maybe took a few months to settle in but there's not a chance he was getting pelters 3-4 years in. He was already an established first teamer and banging them in at the end of the 2015/16 season - see away at Chelsea for the Battle of the Bridge game. There might have been times where Poch wasn't sure whether he was Kane's understudy and therefore a bench player or someone he could trust alongside him but he was a fan favourite within a year at most.

Quick google finds this comment from 2019, four years after signing for you lot.

Sancho is the only flop on there. The others have either done well enough or it’s too early to tell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name one player who, after one absolute stinker of a first season went on to become a premier league legend? I don't think you'll be able to. Generally speaking, you might see marginal improvement but by and large if they're terrible in their first season, they'll probably be terrible the entire time. Havertz has been in the Prem for 4 years and has bombed at Chelsea and Arsenal and no winner in the CL final changes that. He's had enough time to prove himself.

I'm not even saying 30 goals a season. Im saying come back when he's scored 30 goals in the PL period. Could be a while the amount of chances his missing.

Desperately plucking arbitrary numbers out of the air after a failed WUM attempt.

Haha. Seriously though. He ain't all that for a ridiculous amount of money. For £85M I'm expecting a finished article whose scoring at least 20PL goals a season. Let's just say if he and Ivan Toney were available for the same amount of money in the summer I'm taking Toney all say long

Don't argue with the OP. Arsenal fans know a flop when they see one.

99 % of transfers are in trouble if nunez is a flop lets be real, the guys got like 23 goal contributions in 30 odd games hasnt he?

85m is the potential full cost too it was an initial 64m.
