So Talksport got a scoop before anyone else? Sure they did...
Matheus Cunha
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
Talksport sources has a bit about them, apparently.
Talksport are surprisingly decent nowadays
Wouldn't read too much into that. You don't play 90 minutes for Atletico unless you're a defender and/or a gigantic time-wasting shithouse.
How reliable are the sources linking us with the player?
So why is it between the 2 when one is not available.
Cunha isn’t really a striker either.
We can’t sign players that live up to your version of a good Utd player, they don’t want to play for us.
Wasn’t Joao Felix on the bench for them a lot initially? Would take him in a heartbeat.
Talksport sources are, them in general, not so much.
Shrager and Matteo Moretto are very reliable. TalkSPORT isn't, and Simon Jones functions more like an aggregator than someone with info from certain sources.
I think they got a few things right a while ago with the "Talksport sources" shite, especially re Woodward and some other signing as far as I can remember but then since then they seem to have been just as shite as usual Talksport rumours
ross harwood phoned in with the deets.
True
The bar isn't exactly high atm.
If it’s Alex Crook then Talksport sources have substance.
Hes like the most reputable journalist they’ve ever had and they’re the radio equivalent of a red top newspaper, so no doubt a reputable organisation will be sweeping him up soon.

And?
I’m not sure you’ve noticed this, but we’re not very good at football. Indeed Cunha’s side easily dispatched us out of Europe last year.
Really liked him in Germany, but he hasn’t seemed to have done too much in Spain yet.
Never heard of him
I mean.... yeah?
Atletico are a CL side who finished third in La Liga last season.
We have no CL, finished 6th in the PL and have started so badly this season that we're currently something like 39/5 to finish in the top four this season.
There are a lot of players not starting for better teams who are good enough for us right now.
Antonio valencia vibes
He looks like a fun player to watch, get like 3 of him and replace our entire attack.
No attacker has stood out at a Simeone side since Griezmann first time round. Felix is the closest and even then you’d hardly say there aren’t massive question marks still. Not really an environment where I’d be comfortable judging at least.
We could build an entire team with such players and improve all positions.
Agreed. Get him, Saint Maximim and Antony
Born in May 1999, the boy is going to be a star for us.
Atleti had a lot of attacking options with Carrasco, Correa, Suarez, Griezmann, Lemar, Cunha and Felix for the winger/attacking positions so he'd obviously not get to a play a lot. This year they've lost Suarez but brought back Morata so his minutes would be limited again. He was pretty good whenever he did play though so this would be a good signing. Hopefully we can also try and sneak Ronaldo into this deal.
I wouldn't mind a Firmino type (Firmino at his best, not these past few years) but that type only works when you have insane goal output elsewhere like Liverpool did with Mane and Salah. We have Rashford and Sancho
He played for Hertha and Atletico in the bigger leagues. Hertha are a disaster of a football club for years now, like a worse version of Everton. And Atletico are super defensive, with Simeone trusting his regular soldiers.
The guy has potential, that ETH can unearth. I am convinced.

Look good beside goal scoring. Around 50mil is too steep. Doesn't feel like his value deserves that 20mil appreciation (Atletico paid 30mil for him IIRC). Book cooking with Atletico signing Ronaldo later on?
23-year-old attacker featuring in most games for Atletico (albeit often from the bench) and in the Brazil squad. Hard to see how you could get much lower than 40 million pounds. This is certainly more exciting than the other names we've been linked with.
Defensive stats and assists per 90 are insane. And he is not from Austria. Wow.Those pressing stats
Shrager isn't reliable at all... You've confused him with someone. Shrager a known bullshitter who pretends like he has sources but doesn't.
Blimey 50m doesn’t get you much these days does it?
He didn't play in either game in the CL last year.
Agree. We are crap on the pitch and off it. But we are buying teams cast offs for close to double what they bought them for the prior season.
Cool, but 50 mil? Really?
I'd like to know what he's BS'd. Besides the Vitinha transfer, I don't recall him getting anything particularly wrong over the years.
If he’s going to run and press from the front then it’s an improvement
Is anyone able to find a nerdy analytical video on this guy?
Can't seem to find any. Granted, this time tomorrow there'll be about 50.

Wondering how ambitious he is if he wants to join us
WeLcOmE tO mAnChEsTeR uNiTeD
Who? Is he better than Kalajdzic for those who've seen him play?
