SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 To be fair to Muniz, I doubt it came down to location. If we had Fulham's parachute payments, their squad, and a young Portuguese manager, I'd wager he'd have opted for us. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,396 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 There's Cacau on Redcar highstreet, ran by a Brazilian couple, surely that's enough for him. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If you are Muniz: League Positions Fulham - recently relegated and tipped to bounce back Boro - Escaped relegation and Mid table finishes Squad Value Fulham - Squad Market Value of £150 million Boro - £35 million Top Players Fulham - Anguissa, Mitrovic, Harry Wilson Boro - McNair, Fry, Tavernier Area Fulham - London pull as mentioned above Boro - Unknown area Manager Fulham - Portuguese speaking manager Boro - Neil Future Fulham - Potentially in premier league Boro - Likely searching for Warnock replacement 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't wait to leave despite initially thinking about if I wanted to move there... Don't think it helped that I was performing evenings and all my mates were working all the hours god sends during the days to pay their extortionate rents. Found it a very lonely city, which I've never experienced anywhere else around the world. Also £6 a pint can **** right off. Sammy Smith's to the rescue on many occasions! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Pre season training camp.... Fulham - Algarve Boro - Cornwall so the manager gets extra time at home - but he'll throw in a barbecue!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,396 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm having feijoada for tea tonight too, I'll invite Muniz over. Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolgate 675 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We are a bigger club (time spent in top flight, historical attendances, trophies won even) but that's where Boro being more attractive stops and Muniz won't know or care about each clubs history. Our only hope would be to blast Fulham out of the water in wages which we can't do. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,238 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 You can’t see the wood for the trees, if you can’t understand why Fulham should be the overwhelming choice for Muniz, all things being equal. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly Matt and besides he will see lots of parakeets in the trees in London, making him feel right at home. Never seen a parakeet in a tree in Middlesbrough🙂 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen a parakeet in a tree in Middlesbrough🙂 This made me laugh. Genuinely - there was one on my garage roof yesterday!!! Felt really sorry for whoever the owner was as no idea how you could catch it!! Link to post Share on other sites

And keep what we have LM/RM need cover here, still rumours of Hoillett ST - need another plus young backup Give Joe Lumley a chance for god sake...We haven't even played a game yet, and already your on the lads back 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I did think to myself - it's not really going to help the owner. Your bird was on my garage roof but now has long gone 😂 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 610 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I understand from the lads point of view and Teeside would probably be a bigger culture shock, but I love the area and wish it was seen for what it is rather than "the North" Link to post Share on other sites
