RobsonsWonderland Posted Wednesday at 18:42 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:42 (edited) To this day I still never understood why nobody tried him on the left with his pace and inability to use his right foot. Maybe he is just really crap at crossing with either foot and we will never know Edited Wednesday at 20:52 by RobsonsWonderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted Wednesday at 18:46 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:46 Did he... I seem to remember him running in from the right / centre and trying to shoot with his left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted Wednesday at 18:53 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:53 Yeah he played on the left of a 3 for Atlanta in MLS, then for us under Rafa with Rondon CF and Perez right. Then Maxi joined in the Summer and he took the LW spot IIRC. I agree, I always thought he was better on the left where he can shoot and cross. Then he had his hot run on the right so I thought maybe not. But overall I would prefer him on the left I think. Certainly against a low block where his main give and go game really doesn't have the space to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did play him on the left and he did play there for Atlanta at times too. I always though he should have been tried as a 10 more for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to joining us he mostly played on the left or number 10 at Atlanta. Only got to see him on the left from Jan till the end of the season though, before Rafa and Rondon then left that summer.

Loved that front three and the back three, where we played LeJeune, Lascelles and Schar. Looked like we were on our way despite so little money spent from Ashley. Rafa was cooking something up. Then came that crushing summer. So terrible man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted Wednesday at 22:12 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:12 I'm putting my hopes on the fact that because he will be signed using that designated player rule, it means it's a slower process. Clutching? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begbie Posted Wednesday at 23:34 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:34 Cant just PIF say that if Atlanta pay like 25-30M for Miggy then one of their companies will buy an add at their place for 18-25M. Wouldnt that fix our PSR and as long as we are not directly connected with Atlanta it doesnt have to be a fair price.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being able to touch the ball with his right foot is a massive technical limitation. Touch, pass, shooting - his technical limitation is crazy. It’s hardly a Laurent Robert left foot. It’s not even a Lewis Hall left foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically very good with his left foot is Laurent Robert, Hatem Ben Arfa, Arjen Robben, Lionel Messi, Lewis Hall even. Miggys has one of the most uncultured left foots we’ve seen at NUFC from an attacker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his outside of the boot volley v Fulham, his curler v Everton or his screamer v Villa and tell me they aren’t technically good goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted Thursday at 10:40 Share Posted Thursday at 10:40 Joelinton has scored some nice goals, he’s not technically very good. Miggy has played a lot of games for us. He’s not a player feared for his technical attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
