The thing about Watmore is, he actually gets into a position to make those chances, his near post anticipation is very good as we saw at Stoke and against Sheff Utd (albeit at full stretch). I hope at least one of these is as mobile and inventive.I think Watmore will go, I'm okay with it. He's done a job for us and had a great purple patch but he misses some unreal chances that would have probably seen us make the play-offs last year or be considerably higher in the league now, and maybe still in the league cup too.
I'm sure they both knew they'd be rotation options by their fees and the squad numbers they were allowed.
The way Wilder rotates, they'll all get minutes. Regular scorers get to keep their starting berth so there is an incentive to play to your best.
Does this explain the type of forward he is - sounds good to me!What type of player is he? Target man, finisher or one that will link attack and midfield? Don't think I've seen him play, but heard a lot about him last close season and this.
If we got another in I think Watmore could end up out the door too, since Akpom's resurgence, Watmore doesn't convert enough chances. We'd be wanting another year option on Akpom though, if he's sticking around, as if he does actually end up a decent player then we won't want him leaving for nothing.5 Championship goals last season in 25 appearances last season.. only 2 of which were starts. Averages a goal every 97 minutes.
Welcome to the Boro, Rodrigo. Hope you get a bloody sack full!
Expect us to spend £6m-£9m on another striker and loan Coburn out.

I don't think keeping 6 is a good idea, not enough minutes for some and they will get ***ed off.
He does, totally agree, and all forwards miss obviously. It just seems to me he regularly misses chances that would garner us points. I wouldn't be against him staying at all closing out games pressing high up the pitch is an obvious strength. But the fact Wilder has gone all out to bring in 4 forwards, we still have Akpom who seems to be in favour (Hobson's choice maybe) and Coburn in the mix if his injury prevents him being loaned out till January maybe, then Watmore looks more likely to leave.The thing about Watmore is, he actually gets into a position to make those chances, his near post anticipation is very good as we saw at Stoke and against Sheff Utd (albeit at full stretch).

Yep, typically Brazilian technique, untypically Brazilian aerial prowess!Does this explain the type of forward he is - sounds good to me!
A beast in the air, Muniz is a player who can finish off attacking moves, whilst he is also someone who has shown that he can vary up his game play and hold the ball up to bring others into play.
Considering the service that Muniz is set to benefit from, in the likes of Isaiah Jones, Riley McGree and Ryan Giles, this could prove to be a productive loan for the Brazilian.
Possessing all the right attributes to make this move work, Muniz could swiftly emerge as an integral part of Middlesbrough’s frontline.

Looks similar to Strand Larsen to be fair so I think this might be the end of that one.
I think there's a chance we get Muniz and Riis in which case Coburn (loan) and Akpom (permanent) will leave imo.
He's going to be one of the top boys for the Frontline too?Does this explain the type of forward he is - sounds good to me!

I'd keep him to see what they can do first. He's on a low wage, not costing a lot, these are pretty unproven kids, like Connolly and Balogun. We saw how fast Sporar fizzled out as well.Think Watmore will be moved on and we will sign 1 more permanently aswell as Muniz
i would prefer a proven striker like Erling Haarland to be honest. But realistically......but is he actually any good think I would prefer a proven scorer such as Emil Riis Jakobsen tbh
Ah right, I missed that. Only Watmore or Coburn who could go then.Wilder said he’s keeping Akpom.
Hahaha I love this lad already personality wise
Look at his little face.
