2025 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Closed Window


I am also very worry about Gyokeres but he is nothing like Cunha or Mbeumo as a player. Cunha has always had the top tier touches and dribbling talent hence why he got recruited at a young age from Brazil and Atletico for 35M and wolves for 50M. The issue with Cunha is work rate and consistency.

Mbeumo I like him more but he is also a player that is given more of free role to attack on the counter on a team that focus in defensive set-up. Still very clinical and high work rate.

Gyokeres, is a big body that will use his body to create space and he loves shooting from all angles. He will score more by volume. He is more of a throwback type of forward. He is better than Cunha or Mbeumo inside the box but is technique is average. That's also why he was never considered a top tier talent until he started scoring at lower level. I am not sure how efficient he would be against better oposition. His numbers are unreal but from what we have seen from strikers coming from Portugal league they usually struggle elsewhere when defense are more organized and the opponent faster and stronger
 
That's what happen when you don't give free reign to a manager to sign all his former players like they did with Ten Hag.

Or u23 players unproven outside the EPL (Hojlund, Sancho, Zirkzee)
Tbf Zirkzee's been pretty good most of the season. Just had a shaky start. But I think if we add Mbuemo, Zirkzee should compliment Cunha and Mbuemo really well up top with their pace and dynamism.
 
I think they overpaid significantly on all the players listed. Especially the English players.
I thought Lukaku was fine but overpriced.
Exactly and hardly any of them if any were actually worth it. Buying EPL talent because you’re afraid to buy foreign players in case they might bust should raise eye brows from united fans. Hell if I owned a team and the scouts suggest this I’d fire them. They clearly don’t know how to do their job.
