Munoz

[eaglesdare]

I’ve got a mug with the cup winning team on it, I remember saying to a mate while supping a cuppa, just after we sold Eze, how long before every player in that starting line up has gone?

I think I seen somewhere that the Newcastle team that won the league cup only 1 or 2 players are left from that team. Same for villa soon and it's already happening to us.

With two new RWBs supposedly coming in for a combined £30m+, you have to say, it does look like the club are planning for Munoz to leave. He's been my favourite player since he arrived. The guy has unbelievable energy and character and was possibly the most important player under OG. If he gets the chance to move to Barcelona, which he has stated is his dream, then fair play, we should try and get that deal done as he's earned it. If it's anyone else, we should politely decline.

Me too, my favourite player for many a long year, so much so I’m tempted to have him replace Paul Hinshelwood in my all time best team, but I’m finding it hard to do, RIP Doris 🥹

If we’re signing 2 right backs in this window then he’s clearly going while we can get a decent fee.

Munoz's likely replacement was surely brought in early in this window. Mingueza is primarily a RWB. He's experienced, has played in the best league outside of the PL and has European experience as well. Cardines will be his back-up in my view.

Neither Khalaili nor Gozo are right backs. The positions they've both played are listed on Transfermarkt as "right midfield" and "right wing", whereas Munoz is listed as having played "right back", "right midfield" and "centre back". I see Khalaili as being Sarr's back-up and Gozo as a player for the future for when Sarr goes and Khalaili takes over the starting role.

Sage's intense pressing system will require us to have two no 10 options for both sides of the striker with the starting 10s likely to be subbed about the hour mark.

Just my take on things and I may well be wrong.

We're Palace, we understand players move on and if he goes to one of the big boys we'll wish him nothing the best of luck and thank him for an amazing 2 seasons. But... Everton? Everton?! I don't get these links whatsoever. Why would he go there, and why would we sell him to a rival, who aren't flush with money, when he has 2 years left on his contract?

If he's going anywhere, it'll be to a big European club - possibly Barca if they can find the money.

Exactly. Absolutely love the guy and he's a great person to have at the club. Pound for pound one of our best signings! If a big club comes in for him and offers Champions League football then I think he'd get our best wishes but until then I don't think he'll be pushing for a move... Especially to Everton!! Unless someone offers silly wages.

Yes, as soon as we signed Mingueza I thought it was likely Munoz would be leaving. It’s risky as Mingueza will need time to adjust, but I can see Munoz being the next one to go.

Granted not on transfermarket, but a lot of the internet content lists him as a wing back/winger.

e.g.

Promising wing-back who almost joined Inter Milan dreams of Liverpool move

The promising wing-back has made his ultimate transfer ambition clear...

But also agree on Mingueza, even if he looks more like a CB.

Regardless it feels liek a very positive window so far.

Agreed but the fact that we brought Mingueza so early (for us) in the window had me thinking that the club were expecting Munoz to be going. It's possible Munoz and the club had had talks at some point in which the player indicated a desire to move on to a bigger club this window (and that's NOT Everton).
