• Bournemouth are welcome to him as for the bloke from Atalanta we have 0 chance of getting him we are going to end up with Coufal . (NT) -- Button, Sunday, June 29, 02:21:17pm (nmal-23-b2-v4wan-169190-cust1261.vm24.cable.virginm.net/80.5.116.238)

• Re-signing Nelson, even on loan, is a reckless move. A talented player, but his injury record makes the probability of missing large parts of the season highly likely. We are not a huge club with the depth of quality available to absorb such a risk. If we want to push forward we need reliable additions as talent is useless if its unavailable for selection.

• Re: Nelson missed 365 days at Arsenal with 14 assorted injuries. ESR missed 673 days with 17 assorted injuries…..it explains why we picked ‘em up so easily. Them's the breaks. (NT) -- Bad Boy, Sunday, June 29, 03:20:26pm (NoHost/2.222.160.125)

• Not particularly in favour of loans. Unless there's an urgent need I don't like them because I don't see the real long-term benefit for us. He's an intriguing player. I'd sign him if the price were right. But to me his price is Sess's price last year: i.e. free. He's a speculative punt with that injury history.

• We are desperate for wide players who can score (NT) -- Waterboy, Sunday, June 29, 06:55:48pm (NoHost/90.242.17.168)
  • Agreed. Losing BDR and Stansfield in the same window was problematic to say the least. (NT) -- eganonoa, Sunday, June 29, 08:41:56pm (cable-146-255-156-96.dynamic.telemach.ba/146.255.156.96)
    • Stansfield definitely not good enough, Reid just okay, Wilson Traore better. Liked Nelson a lot and think he could be a God signing for us. (NT) -- Alboy, Sunday, June 29, 10:56:05pm (host81-141-215-112.range81-141.btcentralplus.com/81.141.215.112)
      • Stansfield never got a chance so a massive sweeping statement. (NT) -- HemelRog, Sunday, June 29, 11:01:04pm (NoHost/31.94.74.221)
        • Re: Stansfield never got a chance so a massive sweeping statement. Did you watch him play for the under 21s. ? He had a few games for us but Marco and the coaches were not convinced. Lacks pace, height and strengh to play as a striker. Hope the ladd does well but definitely currently nowhere near Premiership level. (NT) -- Alboy, Monday, June 30, 08:29:18am (host81-141-215-112.range81-141.btcentralplus.com/81.141.215.112)
          • I can understand reservations about pace & strength, but Jay is taller than Muniz. Still think he will make the grade as a premier league player, as his footballing intelligence compensates for the weaknesses in his game. (NT) -- Bexhill Beast, Monday, June 30, 09:07:35am (host86-178-108-150.range86-178.btcentralplus.com/86.178.108.150)
            • There's not a chance in the world that he's taller. Looked him up on google- says 1m87, that's just a lie. Look at england phot pre germany game- he's the smallest there by a distance. I'd guess muniz is at least 2 inches taller (and can jump!) (NT) -- Jim© The Devon IP, Monday, June 30, 10:39:27am (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)
              • Sorry what’s the relevance -- HemelRog, Monday, June 30, 10:44:47am (NoHost/31.94.74.221)
              • Google has harrison reed at 181 as well. I'm pretty sure that he could wear my wifes 5 inch heels and still be shorter than that (NT) -- Same Old Story, Monday, June 30, 11:25:43am (NoHost/84.65.41.50)
              • Internet is all over the shop on Stansfield and Muniz's height. Physical attributes are more critical when you have actual data to evaluate a player. A player can be less than rapid but make up for it with movement and nous (see Raul). A player can be shorter than giant and still be a powerhouse (see Muniz). I believe we have enough on Stansfield to look beyond physical attributes. He's succeeded whenever he's been given a chance. Could've been the next BDR (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, June 30, 11:43:47am (NoHost/217.75.196.3)
                • Should read: "Physical attributes are LESS critical when you have actual data to evaluate a player." (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, June 30, 11:53:05am (NoHost/217.75.196.3)
              • Well, perhaps they’re all taken from the same source but most of the references to his height have him at 6’1”. I personally would have had him at around 6’, but I shall try to find an authoritative answer! (NT) -- Bexhill Beast, Monday, June 30, 01:26:53pm (host86-178-108-150.range86-178.btcentralplus.com/86.178.108.150)
                • You won't find it. I got slaughtered on here a good while back for suggesting he was taller than people thought. You'll end up doing a deep dive comparing photos of him scoring goals and conclude he's taller than people think but smaller than the internet says. 5'10' inch maybe, which is what Muniz is listed as online. Either way it doesn't matter. His aerial duel stats are absolutely terrible. Even if he has height he can't use it! (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, June 30, 01:52:31pm (NoHost/217.75.196.3)
          • He was excellent for the U21s.He made the team gel.Part of the reason the team improved after a poorish start. (NT) -- HemelRog, Monday, June 30, 12:43:49pm (NoHost/31.94.74.220)
