Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

[Wallsendmag]

Don't blame him one bit. Why would any flair player want to play for Steve Bruce when his teams hardly have the ball?

 

He's already nullified ASMs threat by totally changing his position and role in the team. He's absolutely clueless.

[St1pe]

I wonder if getting Fraser had anything to do with the chance they were going to offload Miggy if a bid came in.

[triggs]

Not sure he'd do too well in a more possession based team mind. A better counter attacking team, yes

[Dinho lad]

Will please a lot of people.

 

Which would please you.

[Robster]

Almiron has the mark of Rafa on him. Bruce was never going to like him.

That's what I was thinking. Love the lad's effort but he can barely string two passes together.

Same for every member in the side tbf

Bruce isn’t the right manager for him but regardless of that you’d expect more from him and he’s failed to provide it. I still maintain he’s a victim of not having a natural position. This is where a good manager would make use of him, but what we have is a player who can’t nail one down to provide himself consistency (then Imo the performances would come) and a manager too clueless to help him do so.

 

The end result is he’s moved on, at our cost and deemed as a flop. Sad story after so much promise when he signed.

[Menace]

We'd probably get back what we paid for him though.

[Guest reefatoon]

At least we have Hendrick to fill in if he goes.

I don't think any player can do that on their own. Maybe Messi.

He's not been allowed to nail down a position under Bruce

[TRon]

Fabulous. It's not enough that any enthusiasm for NUFC has been killed by hiring one of the worst top flight managers in recent history, now one of our few exciting players wants out.

[Consortium of one]

Disappointing that he'd like to move on but not surprising.

[Keggy_Keagal]

If we were a more progressive side and an ambitious club he has the ability and workrate to be what Son Heung Min is for Spurs

[Papavasiliou]

Not sure he'd do too well in a more possession based team mind. A better counter attacking team, yes

 

He'd be hard pushed to find a less possession based team.

[Kanj]

Not as strong and doesnt have the same scoring ability but I get what you mean

[Aiston]

No surprise if he wants to move on.

 

Good luck to him, hope he gets into a team that won't have him defend 90% of the time and then expect him to consistently do something 80 yards further up the pitch.

[Paully]

No chance Bruceasaurus will start him on Saturday! He must actually be being serious on the BT advert for the match!

Basically.

Chris Sutton: "what is this plan Rafa supposedly had that Newcastle fans go on about?"

 

Newcastle fans: [detailed explanation about how, when Rafa was finally allowed to spend more than peanuts, he'd turned us into one of the more creative teams in the league, and had us in great form by the end of the season, with a clear identity built out of having a balanced team which allowed all 11 players to play to their strengths]

 

Chris Sutton: "... Fuck off!" [gets on bus]

Ha ha nailed it!

[Guest]

Sad thing is, a lot of our fans have the same mindset and forget about the last 5 months and what we were building.
