Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)


Recommended Posts

He won't be here next season, one of the few we have that I don't think Howe will want to keep but also has some sell on value. 10/12m perhaps, a little more with add ons in the end. Better off having Anderson in his spot as he doesn't take up a squad space.

I like Almiron, but he's one of those players who doesn't seem to have a natural position. We've bought a few of those under Ashley.

 

Rafa obviously had a role for him, and for about 6 months he regularly linked the deep-sitting midfield with our attack and it seemed to finally click for him. But ever since Bruce, he has regressed and never really found a role.

 

A shame if he goes that he never really broke through, but hope he does well if he does go.

After the initial hope of that second half of the season spurred on by him, I'll always be sad it didn't work out. 

 

Seems to have a good attitude and will always run his bollocks off for the team but I think it says more about how desperate that Rafa team was for any kind of creative kick up the arse than his own ability.

 

Even if he got more time in his favoured central position I imagine we'd be discussing who we'd like as his replacement this summer.

 

Just hope he goes to a situation that favours him.

Think Miggy will always be one of those players who shines in a non-elite league. Great work-rate, and decent technically. It's his decision making and physicality that let him down. Drop him in the Dutch or Portuguese league where he will get a touch longer before being closed down and I think he'd do well.

Was really disappointed with him on Sunday, he really seems to have disappeared in games last few times he's come on. He used to be everywhere a year ago, now you can barely tell he's on the pitch.

I think he's a touch checked out mentally. He hasn't been embraced into the starting XI like many others with even Jacob Murphy starting over him. It's sad but in reality we've played a role in messing his career up due to Bruce. 

 

Players coming from MLS are always judged more severely and are seen as some yard stick for the league in its entirety which means the need for a smooth transition is huge.

Doesn't score. Doesn't assist. Doesn't create chances. Can't dribble. Weak as piss.

 

Works hard and can run a wee bit fast.

 

He's shite. Got nowt to do with Bruce.

It absolutely does.

 

I appreciate you have a strong opinion on him, but as someone that watched every game he played in MLS, it could have worked for him here, as we saw in those six months under Rafa.

He’s just a very very very average footballer, simple as.

 

Rember saying this last year and getting shit from the majority.  Looks like people are finally catching up.
