      Why not?

      By that time he'll have only entered his prime.
      He's an enigma this lad....I think even Klopp has struggled to know what to do with him....he's a real box of frogs.
      Slot might be the guy who unlocks his potential.....It's worth another season....Having said all of that, If he was ever to become the goal machine we thought...we'd have seen more evidence of it by now. Key season ahead...and not just for him.

      Should that not be the case then ?

      Tell me what you would expect of a player that could end up costing around 85 million pounds- currently is at around 75 million

      Price tag attracts expectations and rightly so imo

      I just hope next year we don’t go in with the same 5, they have shown when it comes to crunch time, they don’t have what we need. I don’t know or really care about who should go but we need someone else to break that 5 up imo

      Jota if fit would fix our issues though



      In 1999 a Ferrari 360 Modena was 100,000 quid (give or take).

      Today that amount of money adjusted for inflation would be 217,000 quid.

      Prices fluctuate and go up over time. Of course Nunez was going to cost more than Mane..he was bought several years later in different market conditions.

      The price has no bearing when comparing the players output and how much stick they are given.

      I can remember on this very board people giving Mane stick for some of the chances he would miss, some of the passes he would misplace or not even make.

      But now that he's gone it's like he never put a foot wrong.

      Same thing with Suarez.

      People need to chill on the Nunez hate.

      I just want to say that "a real box of frogs" is definitely going to be the best analogy that I'll hear today, this week and maybe for awhile and it sums up Nunez completely.

      Thank you for this kind sir.

      So you’re saying you’d give a player 4 years to get it right? The only reason he gets one more year is merely because you now have 🦥 in charge. If Klopp had stayed he might not of survived or just become a sub player.

      If he was a million miles away then no, Nunez isn't a million miles away. He has everything to his game besides the conversion rate.

      Klopp has always spoken highly of him and his importance to the team being more than just goals.

      This urge to get players out at the first sign of struggle is mindless considering people wanted him gone last summer, if that was the case we never would've witnessed Hendo becoming captain and lead us to our first Prem title....we never would've seen Origi score the winner in a CL final after scoring a brace to put us there in the first place. Firmino never would've have been part of the best front trio arguably in Prem history.

      You don't have one single player at his level. You'd be lucky to have anyone as good as him. Perhaps just focus on your own shocking squad and their failings.

      You’re right we don’t, we don’t have any player with a worse percentage rate in front of goal. 😂

      We need more than one, not forgetting the problems behind the  scenes 🤦‍♂️ Don’t worry United won’t be worry you lot anytime soon. 🤢 Nunez remains an enigma in my book. That gives me a get out clause if he sorts out what’s between his ears 😂

      If we are selling it has to be for 85 million minimum,  we need to get our money back on him

      If nobody ants to pay he stays and thats not a bad thing for me, unless its as a main striker

      Never getting 85m for him. Hes not even worth half that. We got robbed blind. But thats not a reason to keep him. Sell and buy a better player with the money or put it toward a better player. We wont win the league with nunez and diaz ... sorry. Every year you keep him his value gets less. And theres been too many freebies at this club over the past 5 years.

      I’ve come to accept people are in denial when it comes to those two. They want them to be better so much that they think it will magically occur

      I hope our new manager and team are ruthless to sell the deadwood in the squad and aim to be number 1

      This

      I do wonder what his training regime must be like, Rooney said something interesting how in the modern game, they don’t let you train past certain times to add in extra private work. He also feels finishing is rarely trained now and it’s
      More based on other aspects

      The days of players staying after training to practice themselves which a lot of great ex players said they used to do seems to be over

      I just can’t believe how it’s not really in two seasons? Same with Diaz
