Muniz was crap. He had a decent run of games under Wilder. Must have started at least 12 games. He was one of the reasons we were struggling so much at the beginning of the season. Poor finishing and too immobile. Also gave far too many fouls away.
He was clumsy and always a yard short.
Remember we bought him 2021 when exchange rates were different to now, My $5m was based on a Argentinian tweet from his club (I think), in Spanish that was posted on here. $5m was worth around £3.75m a the time of the transfer
No one knows what we paid or what recieved.
Thats the problem the sources all quote different amounts, the gazette have quoted 4 million euros in your source and 6 million pounds 6 million euros plus a few others. They and other sources are guessing no one knows, except the clunb, what we paid and what we recieved.
It was said at the time that the South American accounts tweet total package costs including wages and addons
Yeah that's what I saw. The exchange rate was quite a lot lower back then as well (£1 = $0.71, compared to $0.79 today) so the add-ons would likely have cost us a lot more if we'd triggered them. Making him a bit of a liability rather than an asset now if we'd kept him.
Warnock and others at the club have clarified that the £5-6 million was never accurate. Sure, any quoted price for an undisclosed fee can never be 100% accurate. But when it's the Gazette (strong contacts at the club) and Italian sites with links to Udinese, you can be sure that they're in the ballpark. I'd imagine £3-£4 million paid, £2.2-£3 million received for him based on the prices that have been quoted.
Depends if the club took out a policy against fluctuating exchange rates, which if they are sensible, they did.
Pretty much the norm these days, sadly. But it can be a big negative as fees are usually over inflated by fans, not under, due to their pessimistic nature
