Raul Jimenez Deal Agreed

[LC]

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

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

It's a huge risk if we do that. I highly doubt Jiminez is a Mitrovic replacement. We need to go after a top talent if a Mitrovic leaves

I can see how they could be a like for like, but Jiminez is an injury risk player. We also need to find attacking players to cover or upgrade on the others like Solomon showed the potential to be. It makes a huge difference to have that technical touch up front when attacking.

I still think we need quite a few top signings to add to the squad.

Can't believe there's still no signings through the door on the offal.

I get the feeling Jimenez is dependant on Mitro leaving, otherwise we won't need him.

[General]

Technically Willian is classed as a signing - not exciting as he was with us last season and feels like he never left.

We also secured Anthonee Robinson to a new deal. but agreed, very odd to not have anyone through the door.

That said, if rumours are to be believed we could see three come along at once, like London buses in Bassey, Jiminez and perhaps Salisu.

We're in desperate need for new signings though, especially in CM, defence and up front.

[rusty shackleford]

Even if Al-hilal pull out id still think Mitrovic is gone. These refusal to play, player want out situations never seem to end well

Agreed !! Mitro is all but dead to me now 😢

[Chutney]

The only way Mitrovic stands a charge of forgiveness is to quite literally beg for it, grovel, apologise publicly and commit to being a better man moving forward.

[Marcel_Gecov]

Mitrovic scores vs Everton and he will be forgiven. Look at what happened with Kane last year.

[Somerset Fulham]

Kane didn't go on strike though, did he?

There were rumours that he had skipped training however.

[HamsterWheel]

Jimenez has completed his Fulham medical per Peter Rutzler.

[bencher]

I watched a compilation of his goals for Wolves, and there is a lot to like if he can get close to those levels again. Reliable penalties, dangerous in the air and generally in the box, turn of pace, close control.

Yep Marco will work wonders on him
And for 5 million dollars
It's a win win

Jiminez was a top talent pre his head injury !!!? I'd argue pre injury he was a better striker then Mitrovic minus the bad attitude
He has the skills he's already proven himself, his problem is mental and a new environment and a good coach could be exactly what the doctor ordered

Put it this way, only one, from Jimenez, and Mitrovic, were likened to be a replacement for Harry Kane. One of the worlds best strikers. Not to say he's better at this point in time, but as long as his injury hasn't been a chronic determining factor to his ability and form, this could be a really, really shrewd purchase.

It could also be complete guff  I look forward to finding out.

Me too it's a great bet with fantastic odds

Jimenez coming in as a back up striker surely means Vini/Muniz are leaving? Would be harsh on vini if so, think he did what he can when played and gave 100%.

Been a fair few rumours about Muniz moving back to Brazil. So I expect he'd be the one to go.

Can't see Carlos going anywhere. He's proven he can step up when needed. Can only see Muniz going out on loan again. Hopefully he can find a decent championship club. Would hate to see him go to league one on the back of a poor Boro loan spell.
