I think the Nypan links seem pretty legit.

No thanks on Cunha. I’d much rather go after pure wingers and pure strikers. No more of these tweeners like Trossard and Jesus. Also they’re asking for £80 million…
Ben Jacobs should be banned as a source, even in houseboat terms
DiabyKungFu he's a 3+ year project at best.
Funny, I was in Birmingham last week, chatting to a colleague who was claiming a passing acquaintance with Cunha. He reckons the new deal is done, we shall see I guess...
Why would you sign a long termie with Wolverhampton bloody Wanderers if you have a profile like Cunha has?
Interesting by the coach…
Personally I think it’s a big red flag for his character the way he acted today and I would bet Arteta does too. We need a winger or a CF and not someone who is neither IMO.
Not sure I am bothered about it without more detail. Trossard had issues at Brighton but he's just a high key person, not a troublemaker. He doesn't show less than professionalism and a competitive attitude coming off the bench here.

This is the type of midfield we need. Cunha solves a lot of creativity issues.
daredevil but we still have issues in our forward line then. I don’t think addressing the attackers by adding another midfielder is the key right now. We need attacking depth and I don’t see him slotting in well in any of the LW/ST/RW positions as well as someone like Mbeumo. If we were able to sell Jesus and Trossard then maybe I’d entertain Cunha as a versatile impact sub but having all three is a waste to me even if he’s more effective than them.
I don't like Cunha as my first choice, but would eventually take him due to the capacity issue we have. Reason I don't like him is I think Havertz is a good centre forward. I would like another centre forward, either an upgrade (Isak/Osimhen) or an exciting project (Sesko). What I do not want is an expensive tweener who still leaves us in a position where we would ideally want to get another pure centre forward in the team.
samthegooner Players can get like this to force a move, it isn't pleasant but a lot was written about Trossard before he joined us, his behaviour has been spot on and never heard a bad word since.

Claudius Problem we've got is in January options are limited. If Cunha is available whereas other options are either ruled out or too expensive we have a decision to make.
I think Cunha would be a good squad addition, we probably need at least 2/3 players in our front three as Trossard is probably going in the summer, then Jesus needs to be moved on as well.

yeah, agree. not my first choice but our numbers situation just needs a high quality body even if its not the very best. i really wanted Nico Williams in the summer. when the summer ended and we didn't have him, i thought we could survive. i think the combo of a thin squad, lots of players working through the summer, and that tough September/October just wiped us out. which, in retrospect, the club might have been able to predict as a real downside risk once we had all the fixtures.
Didn't release but both Wissa and Mbeumo contracts up in June 2026
