[Albion] Darwin Núñez
- Thread starter Stat Brother
- Start date
I don’t think we’ll get him, but hopefully there is a plan B and C, neither of which involve Dutch football.

Is it possible that we’ve sent a team to Portugal to negotiate rather than Spain because there’s no quarantine?

as far as I'm aware, he's still in Spain, so surely that's where we need to be?

I'm probably being facetious.

likewise, gagging to get him...... but mere hope rather than expectation.

No quarantine for a returning individual classified within elite sport, only new arrivals.
If for instance, Bruno/Barber leaves UK as part of the Albion set up, do their things negotiation wise, they can come straight back without quarantine (as already subject to testing regime).
If we did bag Nunez, he would need to quarantine on first arrival.

Squeaky bum time.
Better pull out Benfica, you just don’t have our kind of cash nowadays. Sorry boys.

We're now favourites? Its nothing more, than we've offered more reddies on better terms......allowing Benfica a few days to match our offer says to me, we're being played.
This is where I'd hope we'd tell Almeria, take it or leave it. Not sit by and see and wait for Benfica to make their minds up.
That’s pretty significant though. The selling club won’t want to accept a worse offer!
Can’t help but wonder if this is a public smokescreen. Who are we really in negotiations with...

Really good knowledge.
If Darwin is there too then his quarantine runs from the day he arrived there; it’s a neutral zone effectively. So he can take his time to make the right decision. I think we can make a convincing case.
On another note I saw Richarlison playing keepy uppy on a beach in Portugal a couple of weeks ago. He was wearing Brazil football shorts, a big “R” around his neck and had bleached his hair. He is excellent at heading the ball! His mate, though, was another level with his feet. Richarlison just came across as a really good guy. He’s got his dad and family around him and they sat at the table next to us for an evening meal.

Well if Bloom wanted to up the ante, another 1.5 million to Almeria and 500k straight to the agent if the deal is done today, and if not, its off table.

Looks like we are very keen on this one. It seems to make sense for a lot of reasons. Good player for his age. Physical player who will fill the Murray void. Young, as so will retain his value well.
However, he might not be too keen himself as the step up for him to the Premier League is a big one.
Where I think this works for us and him is that the pressure on him first season wouldn't be huge. Maupay is our main striker and I would expect Nunez to start many games from the bench. From our perspective, we know we need a new physical striker but we don't want to curb the development of Connolly. I think this signing would be ideal as the player is developing and wouldn't expect to start every game, allowing Connolly some starts and appearances from the bench. It gives Potter further options which is what he likes.
He'd also get well looked after and developed. I hope it comes off.

He certainly comes across as a pantomine villain, to opposing fans, on the football field, but I read an Athletic article on him a few weeks ago that makes a very good case for him being a decent human being - The Richarlison you don’t know

This transfer is evolving very slowly.
