Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 In fairness Maja would be much more like one of our targets, striker with a close to 1 in 4 scoring rate Link to post Share on other sites

On off On Off It seems so strange that after years of cutting costs and saving money that we would be so keen to go spend a fortune on a player like Muniz. I, like many, have got swallowed up in the excitement of it all but he’s unproven really - yes a lot of potential but a hell of a risk to spend that sort of money on. Still - I am a little disappointed too! It's the excitement of the unknown I think. We've no idea what he is as a player right now really let alone what he could become. And it is a completely different name to players we've been looking at over the last few years. The fact that we're at least trying gives me hope of better times ahead potentially. The success or failure of one transfer attempt is just that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 We need to move on and quickly as we desperately need players in. Ameobi will probably be out for a while judging by the lack of information coming out. He's been isolating for weeks now. Link to post Share on other sites

Maja doesn't thrill me, but he's English and probably wouldn't have too many issues adjusting to living in and around Teesside, at least not in comparison to a young Brazilian who may well need a translator.

Totally agree - from a fan point of view its exciting - it creates a buzz and after hearing about us looking at league 1 and league 2 players to have this sort of player linked has been great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 We need 2 wingers 2 strikers, Payero completed and a LB busy end to window 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) What I like about Muniz is I have some kind of faux excitement despite not watching any videos and seeing a record of 6 in 30 in a league not much better than the championship, literally entirely because he's Brazilian Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 How are fulham even affording him? Their squad is absolutely ridiculous, they are getting Matt grimes from swansea too Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 None of us will care about Muniz once we see Payero in the Boro kit 😎 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Still - I am a little disappointed too! It reminds me of when Karanka came in. One minute we had no money and we’re loaning players in like Alex Nimely, then within 2 years were splashing £9m on Rhodes and paying big wages for the likes of Gaston.

Now over to you Leo! Payero small issues look sorted should be an announcement tomorrow or friday. Still looking at more in South America still and a Man City youngster. the last few years of cutting costs have freed up some money. Club seem to be going for it Patrick Roberts is in City’s first team squad of 24 albeit without a number 😂😂 After not playing him I’m surprised city would want to send anyone back to Warnock!! Whats our link to city cos there seems to be one! Cole Palmer? He’s on the fringes Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Tbh I wouldn’t be too bothered if we got Maja instead, or as has been said there will be plenty other decent strikers in Brazil/Argentina if that’s where we’re looking. Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'd be happy with Maja too. Good age, knows the area and knows English football. Premier League experience too and would be one of the best strikers in the league. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
