Raul Jimenez Deal Agreed

[Ashington White]

Surely this means that either Muniz or Vinisius must be on the way out unless we intend to play 4-4-2.

Or we're giving ourselves more options up front, rather than scraping by with 2 strikers?

[alfie]

I think he's a good signing to come off the bench and as cover.

I envisage Mitrovic, Muniz and Vinicius all leaving and hopefully we get a top rated striker in as first choice plus with Jiminez we'd have the option of playing with a credible front 2 in certain games

I don't see Vinny leaving, why would he?

[filham]

Muniz, Vinicius, Stansfield, Jiminez. Hard to see us getting the goals we need if these are our strikers for the season.

Muniz, Vinicius, Stansfield, Jiminez. Hard to see us getting the goals we need if these are our strikers for the season.

Quite a few other EPL clubs in the same position if you look at things objectively. Take Wolves for example. Poor at scoring last season but no obvious additions to improve matters. Possibly / probably to Jimenez admittedly, but he was a consistent goal scorer in the previous two seasons before his injury at Arsenal.
Brentford- no Toney before 2024!
The newly promoted clubs - any with a proven goal scorer?
Even Willian & BDR have a better individual scoring record than most teams. We only need one of Jiminez or Vinicius to 'click'
In the words of the movie- we are not alone!

Well Mr F, you just never know.

[hovewhite]

Think if given a chance vini will score double figures.

[Palhinha Colada]

There is no way we're (only) rolling with Jiminez and Vinicius as our strikers if we sell Mitro for huge money.

Stansfield is not really a striker these days, despite scoring hatfuls at youth level.  And Jiminez could well play the TC/Pereira role.

[perry geyton]

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

Me personally I'd rather take a chance on a 5 mill signing on a player who's already proved himself but lacking on psychological confidence over a 50 million Prima Donna
Example - Berbatov

Why not ?
In a lot of cases we played better without Mitrovic on the pitch
Jiminez has bags of potential and Vinny seems to be improving over time

[Slaphead in Qatar]

Marco said yesterday Jimenez is not the Mitro replacement

[perry geyton]

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.

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

Speak for yourself I'm feeling very positive at the thought of Mitrovic being gone...
A few signings and we are golden

[jayffc]

Marco said yesterday Jimenez is not the Mitro replacement

He did? Where I missed that

[YankeeJim]

As I recall, William was coming off a rather unproductive time playing in Brazil after leaving the Prem and no one seemed to want him. Marco saw something in him and what a pleasant surprise he was. Perhaps Marco sees something that others don't. TRUST in MARCO!

[WestSussexWhite]

Muniz, Vinicius, Stansfield, Jiminez. Hard to see us getting the goals we need if these are our strikers for the season.

Muniz more than likely off, we will almost certainly get  another striker too

[hovewhite]

Well looking brighter now we all are use to seeing no more of mitro , helps with FFP should allow us to play different formations.all we needs is new additions on the offal.

[blingo]

Muniz will be the one leaving I would think. I also expect another forward to come in as well. But I can say no more.

I hope not. I've got a funny feeling this kid is going to be very good indeed in a year or two

[IloveFFC]

Jimenez medical today

[hovewhite]

Fully expect under Marco to be revitalised and discover his instinct in front of goal.
