Luis Muriel

[mulletsaint]

Not sure he looks Saints fit! Looks like he's got a bit of a gut on him.

I thank you for reminding me of this again. Still my best moment at a game ever, possibly...

 

Cracking game and atmosphere.

This appears to be the first person to have tweeted the 'news'...

 

 

Registers 8/10 on the vague-o-meter...

 

This appears to look very much like a taxi driver from bitterne called Steve Makepeace, so extremely unlikely

Hmm...from his LinkedIn profile...

 

 

EDIT: I think Ernest's, sorry, Steve's pseudonym may be more about his weight loss/gym business, rather than being an attempt to mislead over a transfer.

Most of those shots in the youtube clip would be saved in the prem. Shocking goalkeeping.

 

This... plus the shocking defending... plus a few scuffed shots that trickled in... plus as someone else mentioned he looks a bit overweight. Only towards the end of the video clip is there anything that could be described as good quality forward play. I think the YouTube videos for Ramirez, Osvaldo, Skacel and Banega were all better than this!

 

Is he better than Bill Sharp, Lee Barnard, Jason Puncheon, Guly and Jonathan Forte? He might be better than one of those, but I'm not convinced about the others on the weight of that video!

The article states: "However, Muriel, 23, has declined a transfer to the Premier League, instead insisting he wants to stay in Italian football." Given our experiences with other players from Series A, maybe we should take someone who wants to stay in Italy at their word and respect their judgment.

 

Also, this is my 500th post since I started last August.

A unique looking plane, no seatbelts or anything.

Don't be too sure he will actually get here - the pilot is having to use notes.

Not seen one of these Talksport articles turn out to be correct. But there is always a first.

I think most of their stories spawn from the foul and disgusting aftermath of the moose's match day exploits of consuming plate after plate of cheap beige food.

Anyone that has played Fifa Ultimate team in the last few years will know Muriel is a beast........so on that basis I say sign him up

[david in sweden]

The oblig. youtube video incoming...

 

 

has a bit of pace, (though not upto Shane Long standard), but shows good control and some nice touches, but some of those goals..especially the early ones in the video are down to terrible goalkeeping errors ....Of course we don't know what his current form is like?..I'm not overimpressed....

.....AND he looks a bit heavy around the waistline for his height ...I should know !
