What a day! 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 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.

Offer has been accepted bauser has had his critics but he has pulled masterstrokes on both of these.  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

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.

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.

Would he? Based on what? Genuine question. I’d still be happy enough with him though.

Been on a quick internet scouting mission on Brazil league strikers. No idea how realistic it would be but came across Yuri Alberto who would match our remit.

[DanFromDownSouth 1,572]

This isn't a long-term strategy this is just the bust phase of the Boro 4/5 year cycle! 😂 That said the tidbits of info regarding DoF sound promising.

And in the "You learn something every day" department..  When I mentioned to my sister that Muniz was likely going to end up a Cottager, she explained that I may want to rephrase that statement due to possible misunderstandings.

Doubt it’s realistic. Looks a lot better than Muniz. He actually plays in the main league. Arsenal and Barcelona want him and he would cost 15 million too

Could always guilt trip Fulham in to sending Kebano back.

In the last year of his contract. Might need to sell for ffp. Depends if Warnock wants him though

[Youngy228 731]

Finding it strange Bolasie hasn;t signed for anyone - wouldn’t surprise me if we are back in for him as window draws to close

Don't get the obsession with getting Kebano back, thought he was bang average

I liked him but we used him badly. He’s the type to build a team around in my opinion

[CWC 213]

I’m helplessly refreshing hoping for one more twist in the Muniz saga knowing full well he’s going to Fulham. For those that have been here long enough it’s given me real Eduardo Vargas / Vítor vibes.
