In his best season for PSV 99/00 (statistically better per minute contributions)
G/A every 69.87 minutes
Even then not performing at Gakpo’s current level.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

No player is a guarantee but id argue the best G/A contributor since Suarez at Ajax isn’t exactly a bad place to look.
Many fans on this forum are tiresome. Week in week out the narrative changes.
Agreed very fickle. Some only come out of the woodwork when something bad happens. So called “fans”.

I don't think it makes sense if I'm honest. Unless the idea is for him to play as a #9 which he hasn't been doing primarily.
Henry-eque 9 perhaps. I personally would prefer Sesko to him but seems he has the physique to be an ETH 9 like Haller at Ajax. We have seen ETH use Rashford as a number 9 to some effect and I'd say the biggest issue with Rashford in the position is ball control in limited space. If Gakpo is better at holding the ball up in the middle of the park then maybe.
Don’t think it’ll be us unless Ronaldo goes. I don’t think the club will dip into their pockets again in January after spending so much in the summer.
The decline of the Dutch league obviously started with the fallout from the Bosman ruling, but Kezman is typically considered the turning point of when the Eredivisie became a farmers league. Ruud was playing in the Eredivisie just 2 years after Ajax won the champions league. Stats comparisons across these eras are worthless.
I wasn’t the one trying to make the point about Kezman or RVN but when asked I only responded with the comparison others wanted.
I am more making a point that the next best striker in the more modern version of the Eredivisie was Suarez who is being outperformed by Gakpo who is in a far inferior side.
The standard Gakpo is setting is record breaking so while as an avid watcher of Eredivise for AZ I accept it’s not the most competitive league in world football I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that someone can be so consistent over nearly 3 years now and clearly developing into an all round attacking threat is being talked down by many whose only experience of him may well have been highlights of a couple of European qualifiers.
I know, as I would only chipping into the discussion, not directly responding to you (maybe I shouldn't have quoted you)
No worries. My hope is he helps knock Ajax off the perch if AZ cant this season. Maybe then people will wake up.I know, as I would only chipping into the discussion, not directly responding to you (maybe I shouldn't have quoted you)
Mirror are running the story that Leeds have agreed personal terms 
Mirror, not exactly shockingMirror are running the story that Leeds have agreed personal terms
Surely this can't be true? Surely?
That after spending 220m in the summer we don’t have money this January? Why can’t it be true?
Nah, I don't believe that.
Getting him in and Ronaldo out would be masterful business.
More like his levelMirror are running the story that Leeds have agreed personal terms
No its not.
Also they can agree personal terms all they want, its up to the player where he wants to go.
You can agree personal terms with ten clubs lad, doesnt mean you are going to Leeds.
Also he is clearly too good for Leeds especially on this seasons form alone
Tbh If I was him i'd probably join a mid table club like that with a realistic release clause.
Settle in the league with less pressure then move to whoever you desire after.
We've seen with the likes of Memphis that sometimes moving too big too early isn't a good idea.
I remember when Afonso Alves was too good for anyone on form. Or Memphis Depay. Or Klaasen Jan Huntelaar. Or Ricky van Wolsfswinkel.
Don’t see anything in this kid that separates him from Memphis when we signed him, actively would say he’s not at that level, and he was crap.
Why would he even consider Leeds ?
One man team at the moment
Absolutely lethal at the moment. Great goal once again…..

He's a good player but we can't buy everyone. Only makes sense if we selling Martial or Rashford
Martial is a bit of a crock. We absolutely need a CF.
If Ten Hag wants him, then the club have to try to sign him.
Yeah Darke was bang on when he said not staying fit has been the story of his Utd career

I'd still like us to go for him in January.
And no, that isn't my muppet brain kicking in early...

Says in the article Madrid are interested.
Actually would make a lot of sense for them. Benzema/Vinicius cover
The guy is not good enough for Madrid. Big nothingburger.
Thoms, again bashing Gakpo. In out latest discussion you admitted you liked Gakpo playing for the Dutch national squad (in my expectation he might be better when playing in a stronger team) When i stated it’s quit different playing besides Vertesen and Saibari over Haller and Tadic, you actually agreed.
We’re back to square one again? Nothingburger? You don’t agree he’s a one man attack at PSV and delivers great stats?
i agree with you he didn’t play well against rangers, but his games against Ajax and Feyenoord show some promiss?
I would like to see this happen. When I saw PSV last season the goals Gakpo was scoring showed all the evidence that he's capable of playing through the center. If Ronaldo indeed does leave in the winter window it would be good to push for him.
'Nothingburger' doesn't refer to people but to information. He's saying the story about the links to Real Madrid is a nothingburger.
Mate, I do like Gakpo in our NT. Do you seriously think he’s Real Madrid material? If so you are in the minority judging by all the opinions on Dutch football forums. I know you like him a lot but cmon mate..Some of our best players ever (Sneijder and Robben) didn’t succeed at RM and you think bloody Gakpo will?
I do agree he’s a one man attack but RM would be a step too high. I think the story is a big fat nothingburger, meaning I doubt this story is true.
