I could see him playing up top in a front two. Having another striker like Che would allow his license to roam, and Gakpo/Mara would be good, chaotic fun.
Roughly translated to: The shooting is in full swing. The farewell video for Gakpo is already out, I’ve been told. This is the podcast from the Dutch reporter who broke the news to which all the major Dutch media are now reporting. No confirmation of which club has won his signature.
I'm not remotely commenting on the possible quality of this guy. However, every single time I see a highlights clip showing stunning skills, my mind jumps to this: Vin
I just like that all the Gakpo compilations are “Welcome to United!” with United fans in the comments talking about what bargains Anthony and Gakpo are.
They merge to form a binary system black hole, from which no information can ever escape. Any rumour crossing the event horizon of one of those monsters is lost for all eternity.
I guess the argument is that if he is considered even a halfway decent replacement then €40m is a big over valuation? I know it isn’t as simple as that
For what its worth, I watched Wales play what was essentially Holland B in the Nations League a few months back and Gakpo was their best player (until F.De Jong came on). Great movement.
