The Donkey

He could have taken a leaf out of Gakpo, who had a shocking last season, but has played to his strengths cutting in or drifting behind the last man on the left. I don't think Darwin has the time or the intelligence to find his own niche with us.
 
Yeah… he annoyed me more than Trent with his shitshow cameo.

He’s not offering much unless there’s an award for getting stupid yellow cards.
 
Even after 2+ seasons of watching him, you look at him, you have no idea what he is going to do next. You just know he is going to do something random which will either be brilliant or pathetic. The pathetic side is popping up more and more.

He just needs to produce some consistent performances, we know he is not a world beater by now, but at least be involved and do the simple things well, and not be looking like he doesn't even know his teammates and vice versa.
 
The thing that gets me is that half the time you can tell even he himself doesn't know whether it'll work anymore.

He already half expects to lose the ball. He's just choosing a random option and hoping he'll surprise himself.
 
The most frustrating thing is how little he is involved in front of goal. No shots, no chances and just not dangerous in terms of goal involvement, at all!
 
There's will be a time when what Nunez did yesterday will be considered red card. It's was totally unnecessary, dirty, and had nothing to do with football. Sadly it's one of the few ways he can impact the game.
 
FWIW, I reckon he's on our books at about £35-37m at present (could be higher if add-ons have been triggered, but if they are goal / success related then little or nothing will have been paid out).
Anything more than £35-37m triggers a profit on sale.
HOW DARE YOU ! Some of our posters are convinced we paid £100m and you're about to give them an aneurysm !
 
I hope we find someone that will take him, come on Athletico - you know you want him - £45m and he is all yours guys just take him, we will pay for his taxi fair as a fanbase and even the flights and home removal costs. Please just take him.
 
If they are goals related we surely haven't paid out much...
My calculations are based on an initial fee of £64m plus c £6m agent fees / levies.
The reported add-ons were chunky but I don't think details ever emerged as to what they are. Likely to be appearances (probably every 25 appearance), goals (probably in 10 or 20-goal chunks) and trophy wins / European qualification. Some of them will have been triggered, and it's possible we may want to move him on before any others are hit.
 
Man this signing is worse than Keita by a long way - at least when Keita came on - he was generally good at what he did, but I just cannot see us coping with this guy if we have too see out the rest of his contract. He has to go this January - clearly he don't get Slot's system at all.

Atletico would be a good fit, to be fair, but they've already done their bit by taking Alvarez off City's hands and leaving them without a decent back-up.
I think Italy is the most likely option, maybe Turkey.

Yeah, but of like a couple £m. It's basically irrelevant.
 
We really need to cut this bullshit out about the fans seeing him as a cut hero, Erik Meier is another prime example, absolute shite. Your one job is to score goals and work your bollocks off for the team. Anything else is just insignificant. Man needs deporting straight away.
