I mean, pretty composed finish but that was an absolute gift from Konate.
Darwin Núñez / signs for Liverpool

I'm not watching the game tonight and I know that quite a few people are unconvinced about him, but I just can't shake this irrational feeling that he would do really well for us.
The goal was all on Konate but Nunez seems full of effort and running at least.
If @antohan doesn’t rate him then I’m gone off him a bit. Physically I think he’s what we need and I can see his potential as someone to play off and press like hell. We do need a proper finisher though.
Scored against the scum ? SIGN him up!
I’ve changed my mind - his pace, power and most importantly intensity of work rate has sold me. He’s a good finisher, good movement - he can work on the hold up stuff.
Played really well. Just still very raw. But change my mind you can work with him.
He’s great.
Any chance for a link to the goal ?
No chance we get him.
That goal will add a good 20m to his price tag anyone looking to buy him.
It's not I don't rate him, I just think he is getting overrated on here.
I don't think he is marquee-level signing material. More like when we signed Chicharito, rather than RvP. I would have him as a squad option, good addition, but won't change our fortunes really and unlikely to be worth the fee Benfica would hit us with.
If he's technically deficient as many seem to think then we should definitely avoid
True, Darwin will evolve
Good striker, but personally I'd go for Jonathan David. Gianluca Scamacca of Sassuolo might also be worth considering. I feel like David would suit a possession style game most, since he's more well-rounded than the other 2 imo.
A hattrick today.
Could do with a proper target in the box that also works like a horse!

Looking like he's got the makings of a star
Buy him now!
Still not worth 60m pounds
If Rice is, this guy is too.
That goal record is extremely good, if he's bruno level we'd be very happy.
No more Bruno‘s
I’m torn. Ultimately, if he is a goalscorer, then it has merits. Haaland is technically basic for example. Van Nistelrooy was reasonably tidy but no Henry or anything. If Nuñez is nothing but a ruthless striker, it could still be worth it. May still be better than seeing Ronaldo hanging at left wing while the opponent’s box remains empty.
I would prefer Jonathan David or Dusan Vlahovic. Nunez screams mid-table striker to me, the type of striker Aston Villa or West Ham would sign.
You know he’s signed for Juventus in January, right?
We need to sign this guy.
This guy is going to flop big time.
Keep in mind guys like Jackson Martínez and Slimani were much better in Portugal then Darwin has been.
Could be some of my Benfica hate giving In but I don’t think he will be top striker in the game. Midtable EPL seems about right.
Doubt he would be interested in joining a team without Champions League Football
Vlahovic has just moved and David doesn't seem to have really cracked scoring goals in Ligue 1 yet.
His game's pretty ideal for Serie A, isn't it? I do mean that as a question, I've never watched the bloke just going off descriptions.
He encountered with ETH in the champions league and he knows how's Ajax play.
Maybe he'll want to be in a team that play attractive and attacking football and create a lot of goals for him ?

Would be a great signing for us although it would take a near world record fee to get him
No it won’t
Is it just me or does it look like a prem keeper would save all those? That last one was a really odd decision making from the keeper.
I read he's Athletico bound
Look at the movement in the 2nd goal. It reminds me of Haaland. That is something we don't have.
I really like the look of him, that is some clean finishing too.
Didn’t even see this video before I made the Cavani comparison.

How can Chelsea be involved?
I'm getting sick of these fees. 70 million for Antony. 70 million for Nunez. 80 million for Tchouameni. These players have just started and already costing an arm and a leg? Who even knows if they will come good when playing at the very top? Big money and a lot of risk. I wanted us to go in for him, but at around 40-50M. We should have gone in for Alvarez.
