Lots of people comparing Victor Munoz to Diogo Jota, in terms of playing style. But, honestly, he reminds me more of Ben Doak. Both like to take on their man and use their speed to go beyond, throw in a skill or a deception, then go. A little one dimensional, but really excited to see how Iraola hones his craft.
These are the kinds of player Iraola can mould into something special, and then suddenly they are worth 2 to 3 times what they were originally bought for.
He'll be rotational option, no doubt, but a genuine speedster and exciting player to have on the wing to come on against tired legs.

Doak, to me, appears to rely a lot more on pace than skill though, whereas Munoz looks to me to have more trickery as well as electrifying pace. They both have that explosive burst to leave their man in the dust after selling a body feint though, so you're right there.
Watching a lot of footage, Munoz actually has very good technique and a great first touch.

Just hope this doesn't affect the re-signing of our saviour Darwin Nunez.

I'd say it's safe to say that not many on here will have seen much of the lad play, but by all accounts he is a pacey winger, this is exactly what we are crying out for, so happy days.
Get a decent right winger in, a combative, energetic Number 6, and a right back, and we should all then be very positive for the upcoming season.

JK, the Nunez talk was merely a smokescreen to make space for Munoz to come in. After all, that's what Nunez was the master of, making space for others... apparently.

I see Victor Munoz as similar to Craig Bellamy in the way he plays - the pace, aggressive running style, determination, and physicality. Both have that explosive movement, strong build, and relentless attitude.

Hahahahahaa excellent, Stuie.
