People need to stop acting horrified when it happens as it's just what's happened since Ashley has been here and will continue to happen as long as he's here.

Nar, Rafa pushed for him - poor lad has gone from playing alongside Rondon and Perez being coached by Rafa to Joelinton and Bruce FFS.

Actually you’re right, he was bought as a critical piece of the jigsaw which is the progressive and talented team that Ashley has been painstakingly assembling for several seasons.

Benitez sounded him out and pushed for him. But I'm sure Rafa sold Almiron the club as a stepping stone in January '19 though.

He’s right for wanting to fuck off, however I honestly believe he will struggle to get the type of transfer he wants. I can’t see any top team from any of the major leagues being in for him.

Practically any other team in the Premier will be a step up now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Don't blame anyone for wanting to leave at the moment . Weren't here were noises just after the start of the season from his agent that if it wasn't for Covid he would have been looking to leave last summer?

Not one of the elite 2 or 3 but someone challenging to play in the Champions League or capable of winning the Europa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Almiron was an exemplary bit of scouting tbh. Not just in terms of finding him but in terms of identifying that he was precisely what the team needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 It's a strange one because we'd be both losing a good player, yet not really worsening the team. Because of Bruce, we've hardly seen Miggy play like he can. Wasted potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think Wolves would suit him well if they use him similarly to how Rafa used him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 He can step up for a champions league team for sure. I think he would look good in the Liverpool side because they are set up to play the way that he wants to play - high energy, quick press and lots of movement.

IMO unless we go down he’ll do well to find a move as the fee will prohibit non English clubs from his level getting involved. Aside from the general shitness of Benitez leaving seeing how Miggy picked up is my annoyance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
