Lee29 1 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Really wanted this lad, Brazilian fans seem to think he’s the real deal. Shame, but looks like we’ve gone for him as hard as we can and if he’s chose Fulham it is what it is, we all know the club we are these days. It was exciting while it lasted though, hopefully some more, not inspired at all by anyone we’ve signed so far. People saying they want Maja though, people seem to rate him based on the fact that he got picked up by a foreign team. Think it would be a shocking signing. Andre Grey would be another Assombalonga as well, seen him mentioned a few times. Link to post Share on other sites

TheHolgate 683 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Shame, but clearly the club are pushing, showing ambition. That is a massive positive. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just another reminder that if he were called Ronald Smith we'd not be bothered. Being Brazilian and having a nice name doesn't make you good. Another case of us not having seen a player kick a football in the flesh and pre-judging their worth, even if positive instead of negative! We are having a decent window so far and will definitely get a few more bodies in. Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Grey would be another Assombalonga as well, seen him mentioned a few times. Don't think it's got anything to do with him moving to a foreign team. There was lots of interest in him and we wanted him before. He was good at Sunderland and had they been able to keep him they would have been promoted. He did well at such a young age being only 19/20 years old. He's fast, direct and can finish. He's got plenty of experience now and at 22 is a good age for us to develop. Thought he did okay at Fulham in the Prem and I'd be confident he could hit 15+ at Boro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I don't think Maja would cost a massive fee. Probably around £4m but his wages may be an issue though. Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough, if he comes I’ll get behind him but I think the money could be better spent. Link to post Share on other sites

If Watmore can get 9 in half a season, I'm sure we can get someone to manage 15 in a full one. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

We have managed a 15 goal scorer (pretty much) even in the drab Pulis years, so the idea that we couldn't get one in this time is just negativity for negativity's sake. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of the Man City player hopefully it's Morgan Rogers on loan. He's raw, but he's pacey and direct. He stood out for Lincoln last season while on loan. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I think we need a South American manger next year if we want to buy South American players that's the reason Muniz choose Fulham after talking to silva. Link to post Share on other sites
