Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

I remember when he first joined, such high hopes, he was kind of transformative to our front line along with Rondon under Rafa other than scoring goals. I think he’s a massive confidence player as well, he’ll still give his all but when I’ve watched him in and around the box he seems very hesitant to take on a strike, his man or put a cross in. I think as far as his time here is concerned, he’s ran his course. We could get 10m + for him you’d imagine.

Wonder if Eddie's training has helped Miggy turn the corner.

 

Would want him to stay ahead of Murphy. I trust Almiron to do what Howe wants of him.

 

That said, if someone is hoying 15m for him..

Murphy is more of a direct goal threat, he just needs to stop trying to place his shots more and just smack it.

You’re not a direct goal threat if you never finish a chance. 

Direct on goal. Miggy rarely gets into such positions, Murphy does all the time.

It's a bit galling how many lightweight wide men we've got. Almiron, Fraser, Murphy....can't remember the name of the politician who said it, but seeing them run at you would be like being worried by a sheep.

Ideally we get rid of the 3 of them as neither are good enough. If we could get 25m + for the 3 of them that’s serious good money.

Agree. All 3 'ok' but not for where we want to be. Expect 2 out the 3 to stay in the squad next season but barely feature in the league.

At the top of my head, I can remember 3 one on one chance Murphy had this past season and he didn't score, Watford away in the last minute, Brighton home when Fraser knocked in the rebound and that Arsenal home one. But I'm pretty sure there were more.

To be fair, there are at least ten players in the squad I'd rather see go before him.

 

Only reason to sell him is that he's one of the few that might earn a fee. But for what - maybe £10m? He's a useful squad player and probably worth that much to us.

 

Someone to play in the cups and to bring on for the last 20 mins of games that you're just seeing out.

One of my favourite players being forgotten about.

I'd have no issue putting my trust in him going into the next season. He was beginning to find himself [If not Wilson] towards the end of the season and would love to see him silence his critics.

I know we've seen him at his worst but you have to consider his situation. He came because Rafa wanted him, but only got 5 months of him. He was aging like a fine wine, taking into account it was his first season in the EPL. Then Rafa left and Bruce made Sangria.
