It’s a big reason I’m in no rush to sell Tino, Tonali unless they want to leave. We’ll replace our best players with similar profiles.  It’s the Wlanga/Murphy, dare I say Joelinton we can look to have slightly different profiles 

I would say we no longer have a maverick the rat was that for us at times. But not sure howe with his systems wants a chos element if the player cannot also be deciplined.

 

I would be ok with tonali going if it meant an actual specialist DM. We would miss tonalis availability and engine and work rate but having someone to pivot with bruno when we defending deep but confident enough to give a permanent passing option away from just the back 4 and fill that hole between midfield and defence. 

 

I havent enjoyed the increase in sideways and backward passes of last season. Not saying thats not just personnel mind will also be coaching.

 

I get your point would we just try and replicate what we are letting go/ selling profile wise I guess we won't know until they are brought in and start playing together.

Can't believe he's already being written off as just another "runner" :lol:

 

Apparently once a player is fast and direct, it means they're not capable of anything else.

 

Impossible to tell from the clips that mostly highlight his dribbling in what looks like a not very good, counter attacking side, how good he is passing the ball and crossing it.

 

Lets maybe wait and see on that bit. My God :lol:

From the clips I’ve seen, he looks a real threat in transition. Gordon’s pace is hard to replace, but he looks about as close as you’ll get. Looks better than Gordon 1v1 as well, and there seems to be a finish on him too.


Obviously it’s only highlights, but he looks very Howe-coded to me. It certainly looks like Eddie’s had his input on this one, and I’m all for it. Like it or not, managers need players who fit their style, otherwise you just end up with a mishmash of signings.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, agreed :thup:

 

There's nothing wrong with direct pacy players. We just need more that are actually better with the ball.

 

This kid actually looks like he can dribble past people with better ball control and less clumsiness than Gordon, and certainly any of the other wingers on the books, and so that's a good start in of itself.

Came thru the academy of Real Madrid, Spain international and people are moaning he’s “a runner”

 

 

Came through La Masia and Madrid's academy. :lol:

 

You can see he's a skillfull player, but imo he's the best kind where it's direct and with a purpose.

I am looking at highlights as not going to pretend I heard of the lad before reports started. 

 

Can't see any highlights of him doing any crosses into the box I can see loads of take ons and 1 v 1s and beating his man or musceling through defenders, the tino style low pass into the box for players to go for but no crosses.

 

Question is are we ok with a winger who does not or prefers not to cross?

He didn’t make it at La Masia. Not saying he’s shite though.

;D

 

Hey maybe he'll be terrible and give you all of the ammunition you need to be angry about things.

 

Why in such a hurry though?! Just relax and enjoy your summer man.

You can't know that from just highlights man :lol:

I did say 1 don't know nowt about him before he was rumoured and 2 seen only highlights.

 

What I saw in those highlights was zero crosses his assists were unselfish passes to team mates after he did all the hard work running into dangerous areas with the ball.

 

That either means all the highlights missed off the crosses as they weren't very good, weren't very affective or weren't worth showing. 

 

I am simply asking the hyperthetical question do we definitely need a winger to be able to cross a ball in or not.

 

 I know your not having a go but not doing very good mentally right now that laugh emoji is just evil I honestly feel like your laughing at my opinion. Appreciate your not but just feel the need to say how I feel clinical depression sucks balls.

Just take it easy man. 

 

Those highlight videos never show a full rounded game, unless it's one of the proper scouting report ones.

 

None of us are going to know what he's really like till he shows up and starts playing games. 

 

No point over thinking things too much in the meantime.

The Victor Munoz - Full Season Show - 2026 compilation by Brazil Scout Comps shows quite a lot of crossing from about 1.45 ish. Some of them (but not all) looking very decent. 

 

No single yt compilation is going to give a great deal of insight - nor any combination of compilations. 

 

But saying he doesn't cross, or doesn't want to cross is definitely not accurate. There's likely a lot more to his game than any of us appreciate.

 

He looks like an exciting prospect with good pedigree. Hope he signs.
