Another Palace player on our radar now Danial Munoz RB.
{Ed025's Note - now i like him GB..
10 Aug 2026 20:39:55
Reckon it's more desperation our end. He must be well down the list that should have been compiled over the last 2 years and sounds like either lazy journalism or lazy recruitment. Normally, I'd side with lazy journalism, but it's getting a bit of a joke now that we are two weeks away from the start of the season and still don't have a rb..
10 Aug 2026 20:44:01
Great player, be made up if we go after him.
See if Palace want to swap him for Patterson.
10 Aug 2026 21:27:22
Could you imagine if that came true, JB.
10 Aug 2026 22:11:42
Don't think it's desperation myself, more likely that he's become available at a price and wasn't before. Would imagine that a lot of teams would be keen across Europe so we'll have to make it worth his while if we want him.
10 Aug 2026 22:24:43
Any idea on the price lads? Just turned 30 and 2 years left on his deal, I think.
What an upgrade he would be.
10 Aug 2026 22:32:43
18 million rumoured. Palace in talks with another RB.
{Ed025's Note - make this happen..
10 Aug 2026 23:12:19
Desperation BR? He is streets ahead of any other right back we have been linked with, and is a huge upgrade on anything we have. I would go as far as to say he is one of the best right backs in the league. I hope this is true, but cannot believe one of the big boys wouldn't be interested if he is available.
10 Aug 2026 23:31:11
If he is available for 18m and we don't go all out to get him, we are mad.
I wouldn't flinch if they wanted 30m, even if he is 30. He would transform our entire team. He has got 3 lungs.
Ndiaye would be free to run riot and have the overlap on every time.
11 Aug 2026 01:38:08
If it's true, what a signing. I have said on here a few times. I wish we could sign him. Fingers crossed. ? ? ? ?
11 Aug 2026 07:25:22
£18 million is a steal for a player of his quality. Palace were ready to shell out £20 million for McNeil, so no debate.
If we get him, then go & get Richie from Spuds, I'd say that's a decent window.
UTFT NSNO. ? ? ?
11 Aug 2026 07:41:47
More like desperation of some on here, he would be invaluable to the team. Get him in.
11 Aug 2026 08:33:11
I agree, lads, I have seen this lad prior to his injury, he's like the flash down the right hand side and a right nuisance, definitely worth the 18 million, be an absolute steel if we can persuade him to join us.
11 Aug 2026 08:53:48
Can we sign him though if we've just signed someone from the same club? Not sure what the new rules are, but thought this was why Villa couldn't sign Jackson from Chelsea.
11 Aug 2026 09:27:30
Yes - I still feel this is out of desperation as we should have signed an RB already (if not last season) . If he is available, why didn’t we use him instead of Johnson in the swap deal?
I find it hard to believe no one is interested in joining a Premier League club with a decent wage bill. If this is our new primary target then go all out and get him, but what on Earth have we been doing for the last 6 months? It doesn’t mean it’s a bad deal, but it feels like we have no ability to sort ourselves out and are working down a list of players who won’t come, or maybe our list is only 1-2 players long.
There’s also the view that if Palace have lined up a younger replacement/improvement, why are we not going after that sort of player? He’s 30 and is moving towards the end of his career.
Although many footballers are now continuing at higher levels into their early 30s, there are more who fall off the cliff edge of performance than don’t.
I just feel our recruitment team are a mess. Our early business was to resign two players (who we didn’t see enough of last year) and one of them was an obligation. I’m happy with Hackney and Norgaard because Gueye left and Garner has had an op, but there are obvious issues at RB, LB and up front that we need sorting and have for a while.
If Munoz is the target, go get him. I just wonder why we haven’t sorted this position yet.
We hear there is a player who might be available and we are suddenly all over it. Sounds desperate to me.
However, it could all be media hype and nothing behind it.
11 Aug 2026 09:33:43
Part of the problem is that fans believe every bit of tat in the press and create a narrative around it. How do we know that he wasn't top of our list all summer and Palace have only now agreed to let him go? Why would we waste our time perusing a player that's not for sale? We all want to see young players come through.
Barry, Dibling, Armstrong, Rohl, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Hackney. We have plenty of young players. We also need proven, talented, experienced match winners. Munoz is a class act.
11 Aug 2026 12:46:52
He is also fit as a butcher's dog and will easily give us 4 years, which in today's game, is more than enough.
If we manage that for 18m as well, then it is a no brainer.
11 Aug 2026 14:42:24
Blue dev, the issue Villa have is that if they sign Jackson then all the profit from the Morgan Rogers deal doesn't go onto their balance sheet if within 45 days of each other, as it will be viewed as a swap deal, and the profit gets spread over three years as opposed to the full transfer value. It's a rule they brought in to stop these you buy one of ours and we buy one of yours for accounting purposes.
The other issue is they can't loan him, so you already have Garnacho on loan.
I am actually surprised that Chelsea haven't done one of their dodgy deals and sell him to Strasbourg and then loan him to Aston Villa with an obligation to buy.
11 Aug 2026 15:59:27
How can anyone say this would be desperation, as many have said this lad is mustard, fast, can defend, great getting forward for overlaps, as BN says, I know we have been waiting an eternity for a decent right back, please pull this one, Blues. This would be the best signing of the window.
{Ed025's Note - im with you Col..
11 Aug 2026 17:07:19
I don't think it'll happen, Col.
Great if it does but why wasn't he used instead of Johnson in the swap?
11 Aug 2026 19:55:48
Just read that Barca, Inter and Chelsea all consider Munoz as an option too.
Inter lost Dumfries to Real, and need to replace.
Chelsea want cover for James, who's made of glass, and will be lucky to play 25 games next season.
12 Aug 2026 15:58:24
There's always the chance that he was used in discussions with the swap. Just negotiations got a no transfer fee for Johnson. Why wouldn't we jump for that? As far as I am concerned the swap was brilliant business.
Get it done and move on, then negotiate for a transfer fee for Munoz.
So many people make so many assumptions. It could all just be paper nonsense.
