Miguel Almirón: Bid of £10m to be Accepted from Atlanta United (Hope)

[LiquidAK]

Great from a PSR and squad progression perspective. Sad personally as I love Miggy, never gave anything short of maximum effort, and will always remember him for scoring our first CL goal in decades. Him going back to a club he's revered at feels like a great move for him, so this deal works all round. One of those you'd hope will always be welcomed back by the fans and remembered for his significant contributions

Exactly how I feel about it. I feel sad when I see how out of form he's been this season, so hopefully he smashes it back in that league. Love the bloke. His stats are rubbish but I don't even care

Yeah, I love him. He always works hard, and to be honest until Murphy hit some form starting against Ipswich, he was still the better player.

Tops up the Dibling fund.

If nobodies coming in guess Sanusi will be promoted to subs bench

Perfect summation.

 

I'm going to miss that smile, that damned smile. 

[Big Geordie]

Good deal and Miggy heads back to familiar surroundings

 

He's more than done his bit over the last 4/5 years or so.

 

Cheers bonny lad

Don't believe the hype.

If true, I hope he gets a great send off on Saturday. Been a great servant for us, tried 100% every time he stepped on the pitch. Good time for all parties for him to move on too.

Miggy out, money used for DCL as backup to Isak. Good business.

Couldn’t ask for much more from an MLS team.

[Stifler]

So how do I tell this one that her namesake is leaving Newcastle?

Mmmm, well ask the plethora of men named Kevin and women named Keegan how they coped 😉

Yeah but MiguEllie Almirón Stiflers fiancee’s last name Stiflers last name is a whingy cat.

If Barnes is out for a month he probably misses another 3/4 PL games. 
 

That’s nowhere near enough to necessitate us replacing this window, if we’re not convinced the right player is available.

[wormy]

I love the guy but I can't believe we're getting eight figures for Miggy.  I'll well and truly believe it when it's finalised. 

[Doctor Zaius]

The money is good. Pretty decent signing overall. Certainly played his part. Was a big part of our resurgence under Howe and our 4th place finish. 

[El Prontonise]

Fairwell sweet prince.

 

[ponsaelius]

I'm not a financial expert but given he's been here well beyond his original contract terms has his original fee been fully amortised? And this fee would effectively be all profit?

Nice ending for him. Back where he’s loved, area he likes and hopefully playing at the World Cup there in 18 months time.

 

It’s clear with his minutes he’s not needed and unless Murphy gets injured or a proper opportunistic buy becomes available, don’t think we sign a RW.

 

Would like to think a RW on loan with option we’d consider. Gives Howe time to assess training and if it’s worthwhile making permanent. Free hit a deal like that since Murphy has rightly made RW his own presently.

Nope. Every time you extend your contract, you just amortise it over a longer period - lower numbers but over the time of the extension.

[TBG]

"(Hope)" can tell which players the clique don't like. 

 

Sets a bad precedent going forward. 

[christ]

A limited player who through a combination of decent man management and outrageous luck managed a grand total of three months of genuinely good form during his entire time here.

 

No personal animosity towards the lad, but £10m is daylight robbery.

On the other hand, he was signed to play in quite a dangerous front 3 under Rafa with Perez and Rondon, and he ended up grinding most of his time here under dire managers at a disaster football club.

You didn't opt for any combo of Meowguel Almeowron?
