I’d say he’s been massively underwhelming, after a bright start under Rafa. I wouldn’t say he’s been a terrible signing, there have been far worse, too many really. He’s a likeable player, works hard, but just doesn’t have the quality really. If we could get 5-8m from someone in the summer or even this window, we will have done well!

Mahoneys Tache Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Soon as he came on against Watford I said this fucker can’t defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was starting to click towards the end of Rafa’s time, but we’ve since seen, I don’t think he has the attacking nous and it’s shown with some pretty sterile performances, I don’t mind a player working hard, but he’s doing it to compensate for aspects of his game that he just can’t manage now. I’d get rid definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me tbf, I didn't rate Joselu's goal hunting instincts, but I thought he could finish when he did find himself with an opportunity. Not exactly clinical, but a lot better than Almiron.

toon25 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if he's loaned out or sold. He'll still have some suitors in the way that Ritchie, Shelvey and Lascelles won't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 He wasn't terrible at all under Rafa. Him entering the team basically converted that season into one where we were looking over our shoulder to one where we were looking forward. He was critical in games like the Everton one where we turned it around in the second half, despite not scoring our assisting himself. Definitely needs to leave mind cos he's totally lost the plot now and doesn't have a position. For his sake he should've left when Rafa did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I still love the guy, but he's been poor this season. Wish someone could work out how to make it work, as he should be such a likeable player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 He's got a shite agent like. The fact he's still using Campo is ridiculous. Man flaps his gums constantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes on to do really well somewhere else. How many games has he played centrally behind a decent striker in a functioning team? Almost never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a number 10, in the right setup I think there is still a valuable player there. Far more useful in that role than ASM or any other player in our squad.

That doesn't affect his end product though, if he's playing anywhere across the front line he should be able to pick an incisive pass or hit a decent shot.

Mazzy Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Could quite easily go the way of someone like Thauvin. A move to a France or Spain and he'll do well I think. Just hasn't worked here. Looked exciting when he arrived but has gone downhill alot in the last 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 8 goals and 3 assists in 97 appearances for an attacking player is embarrassingly bad. Has more yellow cards than goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottlob Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 He was briefly effective under Benitez when Perez and Rondon had forged a good relationship and Almiron could stretch teams with his pace down the left. That pace and work rate might make him a useful player for some sides, and perhaps our best option still is to play five at the back and stay compact in the midfield while using him and Saint-Maximin on the break. But Almiron is one of the worst attacking players I've seen when it comes to his use of the ball. We've never played him as a number 10 as far as I can remember, and he doesn't have the skill set to make that work in the top flight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I don’t think he’s looked good anywhere outside of that left wing position in a front three. Him, Rondon and Perez were incredible together and all seemed to peak in that trio. I know he had spells as a 10 looking ok but ASM is better at him and plays all of the same roles. Like a few of our others players I’m surprised how shite he’s been this season mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 He's an enigma to me. Time to move him on before his value drops even more. 80m release clause? we can only dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
