Some new links surfacing today with us being in for Muriel. Seems to be mostly speculation at this point but hopefully this comes off whether Suarez stays or goes. Looks like a real talent.

Maybe if we signed players of this calibre
in addition to Suarez we'd be in the Champions League and he wouldn't be wanting away?
On the 11 July Brendan told us:
"What we've done in the early part of the summer is to improve the squad. That's something I feel we've done with the players we've brought in. Now what's important over the next three to five weeks is improving the team. That's something the club is working very hard at."Yet the only 'movement', since then, has been for Aly Cissokho on loan, with an option to buy, for less than £4m. Is Aly Cissokho really the type of player Brendan had in mind as a team improver? Could we really have been watching him more than Luis Muriel?
By all accounts Luis Muriel is a quality player, on the brink of something big... have we really to wait before we move? Is one in, one out, really the way to go for a team with ambition?
If we want Muriel we should sign him now. No waiting, no F***ing about. It's no harder to sign a £25m player than it is a £5m player.
