Talksport. yes i know lol anyways they sre reporting we are close to signing cunha from athletico. Duno if there's any substance to this and to be honest i know nothing about him other than he's a striker. Thoughts?

I normally pride myself on knowing a fair bit about players in the main European leagues but I don’t know too much about him other than that he’s more of a ‘false 9’, or attacking midfielder, capable of playing off either wing, too. So a bit of a jack of all trades…
Not an out and out striker though.

I have a feeling Atletico gave us a list of players we could swap for Ronaldo and Cunha is the one we’ve gone for.

This sounds pretty friggin desperate to me. Literally pin a tail on a donkey.

We are at that stage again it seems. So much for a clear plan?!

He’s a pressing machine and follows the managers instructions, doom mongerers out in force again panic panic.

What, because I don’t rate a player? Sorry….

Hard to know now if signings were looked at previously and scouted or if they are desperation signings. Unfortunately the way we operate makes a lot of us very cynical and that's only normal. If he signs then we will all get behind him for sure and just hope he's not dragged down by a few others.

I’d take him to be fair. I quite liked him at Hertha.
We as fans need to accept our current level.
Cunha is strong and direct. Holds the ball up too. I’d take him through the middle.

i have watched athletic/ Spanish league quite a bit. can't remember seeing this guy play. I think its spoof.

I wonder if it's a swap deal plus cash for Ronaldo. Prob is that he has never been a prolific scorer ad this really does smack of desperation if true.

He's a player picked to make Ten Hags system work.

Will lead the press, can play across the front three. Isn't an out and out goal scorer but find into the system well.

When I read “he’s a pressing machine” I thought we’ll that could work if that’s what ETH is trying to achieve which I think it is but the problem is and where I guess fans get confused and frustrated with and believe there is a lack of ideas is that why were we linked with Arnautovic before him who from what I remember is not a pressing machine!

I’ve never heard of Cunha, looked him up and not a prolific goal scorer so the £50M seems excessive but if he is a player that is going to make the system work than great but just no consistency in they type of players we get linked with.

There are lots of transfers every season where players we have not really heard of especially guys in the early stages come in and work. There are lots that don't.

I doubt there is anyone on here that knows a lot about this guy and certainly not wnough to say if it's a good or bad transfer. A few may have seen him in a game or two. A few more some ypu tube highlights or an online scouting report.

You can have him, we will take Ronaldo from you, we’re take the goals and 30 mil you can have him to keep your bench warm! And company for DVB…. He hardly plays for us so can’t see how on earth you want him!

Pretty sure everyone watched both games agsinst them last year. He was not in their line up. Not being negative but a name from left field for me.

I hoped we'd get Morata.
Not the best striker in the world, but he basically guarantees 15 goals.
There will be times when he will miss easy chances but his link up play is pretty good and is comfortable on the ball and running with it.
I would swap Morata for Ronaldo and pay a little money as well.

Morata? The guy can't hit a cows a**e with a banjo!

Just seen Cunha is only 6ft. To small to be a striker in the Premier League.

Joseluis

What are his strengths and when you play him where does he usually play. Good character?
