Adore the little fucker and personally feel he's been so much more than just that purple patch. He's provided some amazing moments across his time here and otherwise made huge contributions to some good, bad and great teams. If he's going back to Atlanta I hope that works well for him and he leaves as a cult hero as far as I'm concerned.


Not sure about cult hero but he’s definitely been underappreciated for all the work he’s put in. Closing down 3-4 players on your own isn’t easy :lol:

If we're starting from a position of just about being ok for this season PSR wise then this sale would allow us to bring forward a £30-£40m singing from the summer.

 

One more sale and we're looking at a Mbuemo level signing headroom

Oh please, yes!

We must be trying to find a replacement this window if we can. Eddie said last night that he doesn’t want anybody leaving the group, so I can’t see us not trying to to get somebody in with 15 days left of the window 

Also said no business doing. Meanwhile Miggy’s on the plane to Atlanta :lol:

I know cult heroes aren't truly measurable but surely he's in with a shout? The Grealish thing revealed that people outside NUFC saw him as a joke but he was anything but. I'd like to believe most fans see his time here more positively than negatively at least.

Grealish never recovered from that after Miggy went on the fuck you show boat.

The lad had some great moments, helped save us from what looked like certain relegation and then his amazing run of goals that helped fire us into the Champions League. 

 

He's left himself a nice legacy with the club.

This 100%, some of the takes on here about him are way off.

My memory is shit these days but was there a brief period under Rafa when Miggy, Perez and Rondon were almost like a budget HBA, Cisse and Ba? One of the few times during the Ashley era we had a genuinely exciting attacking outlet. 

 

It’s easy to forget he came in under Rafa and survived the hellscape of Bruce to then flourish under Howe. He’s one of the genuine old to new era connecting players and I think that alongside the PSG goal as well as the ‘purple patch’ that was key the winter before in getting us those wins that took us into Europe afford him cult status. 
 

My own personal fave memory relating to Miggy was meeting a blind toon fan in the Fulham end next to the away section, the radios for the blind folk were not working for some reason, so he asked me to describe to him everything that was happening on the pitch, while all the Fulham fans around got gradually more irate. Eventually the bloke sat next to him and in front of me tells us he works in the Fulham ticket office and he’ll get us seats in the away end if we agree to fuck off and leave them all alone. Excitedly agree, walking underneath the stand to the disabled gantry by the away fans (not quite the away end seats I expected), we hear the crowd erupt above us. Miggy had just scored his side foot vollied masterpiece and I was arm in arm with a blind dude I had never met underneath the stand. What a day.

I'll always love Miggy, that patch where he was banging them in was great fun and he always plays with a smile. Great lad.

 

Delighted we're actually selling someone for money though, for far too long have we just let people drift away on frees. Need to be more proactive like this.

We looked good in Rafa's last half season here. European places good. 

 

If ever Ashley had any intentions of backing Rafa and the club then that was the time but of course we all know how that turned out.
