Raul Jimenez Deal Agreed

[Matt10]

Just watch how he played against us recently. Set up the assist for their goal. Throughout the game his movement was brilliant. First touch, such strength against the likes of Robinson, Palhinha, Ream, and Diop. Back to goal, deep in his own defensive third, sets up a pass for Wolves to break.

He's joining a group that had something to prove last year and they'll do the same this year. He's going to fit in just fine - and will make our forwards even better.

[Whitestone]

For goodness sake, give the bloke a chance. If this is true, let's see him play before laying into him.

He's played in the Prem for years and he's 32 years old. We've seen him play plenty of times.

[Finnans Right Peg]

I cant imagine that Marco said he would stay and our main forward target and signing is Jimenez .I thould he will be a cheap back up option while we are working away on another target

Totally agree unfortunately some on hear don't understand how transfers happen they think you wave a magic wand and hey presto we sign Harry Kane

[Brian McGroom]

A lot of people complained about Willian last season before he kicked a ball for us....

[alfie]

Reports Fulham have agreed a deal with Wolves for Raul Jimenez for 5m, apparently a done deal. Being reported by many journos now in the midlands.

Absolutely reeks of a silva signing so we can't criticise as he is allowed what he wants.

I don't get all this "Silva" signing stuff, it is a 3 tick system that Silva is part of, he would recommend a player just like all managers do, and it goes from there. For me it's a signing by FFC.

[Lighthouse]

A player who nearly died when he was knocked out on a football pitch.A player with experience, cunning and a football brain. A player who has flicks, back heals and a bit of entertainment about him. Yeah well if it's true. Him and William in the same team. That sounds truly awful.

[Fulham33]

He has scored the odd penalty though and his conversion rate can't be worse than Mitro's! Good back up - hopefully for Mitro or, if not, someone equally as effective.

[LC]

For goodness sake, give the bloke a chance. If this is true, let's see him play before laying into him.

It depends, he's had injuries and wasn't effective last year and hasn't been for the last couple of seasons. He's not a Mitrovic replacement, it's not about giving him a chance, he just isn't.

If we are buying him as a squad player who can challenge for a starting slot then I'm all for it, I think he's a good player and I think Marco Silva can get him going again, he can also play in the number 10 position which gives us more options.

Nothing on the OFFAL.

[Twig]

I guess as things stand this does further weaken a potential rival so not there is that.

I think that's rather clutching at straws.

and there won't be until its official!

Three stuffed mammal stories, though.

[Thamesbank]

Personally quite like this one, time for a bit of Marco's magic.

[WolverineFFC]

I am generally a glass half full kind of guy, but certainly struggling to get there on this one. He was Wolves highest earner so his wages can't be cheap. The fee seems low, but if it is a 2 year deal, then not so much when you figure in salary and he is 32 y/o on the last year of his deal.

My best attempt at a silver lining would be he replaces Muniz as the 3rd striker eventually and allows the club time to replace Mitro in the window rather than being forced to panic buy.

That being said, I would be fearful if he is seen as Mitro's replacement.

if Marco can get him back to form and his true potential pre injury it would be a fantastic signing, boy has to prove himself and wolves had gone toxic for him

I have a ton of faith in Marco. From watching Jimenez with club and country for the past few years, I am not sure what his form is though. He seems to have lost his finishing skills which is the concern for me.

A large part of my opinion on the deal will me with the details. Contract and fee. If it is a low wage, lower fee than reported with a bunch of add ons then I am on board with it as a flier.

Well if no one else is going to say it.....welcome to Craven Cottage Raul.

I think that is what we are all doing at the moment.  The outlook is absolutely dismal at present, even for me.

[Allprocro]

For 5.5m I can't complain. He clearly will not be the Mitro replacement for that fee.

I see this as a flier on a player with possible upside, but if he never makes an impact I won't be too mad. If the fee was anymore than 7m I would have had issue with a risk like this.

A new club might do him some good, and MS seems to know how to get something out of players that other clubs don't seem able to.

This still gives us plenty of cash to work with for a replacement for Mitro if we get around 45m for him.

[Lordedmundo]

If/when Mitro leaves, we wil bring in a 1st choice striker and Jimenez will be back-up along with Vinicius (Muniz to go on loan).

Don't see any risk here really - best to make a signing like this asap so he can play in a couple of friendlies and Marco can see how well he fits in.

[Thames Bank 1]

Despite his injury, from what I have seen of him, he still puts himself about and is a handful
