Barnes23 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm hoping we will sign a higher quality RW this summer, but more than happy to have Almiron as back-up and as part of the squad. His energy and pressing is unbelievable sometimes, can't see anyone above him in our squad in that respect. Very well suited to the style Howe is trying to move us towards.

ponsaelius Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I like Miggy but if we get a proper first choice right winger and there's a market for him I'd let him go. Probably last chance to get a fee. I actually think Murphy, for all his faults, is probably a better tactical option off the bench for a season.

If Murphy can get a bit of an end product he’d be a great squad filler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Murphy would win the Ballon D’or if goalposts were an inch and a half thinner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Murphy makes odd mistakes and decisions all over the pitch. He can look decent at times but he’s simply not good enough. Likeable but get rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Won’t get much for Miggy so keep him as backup. Think he’ll be good next season. Even if not starting. Found his form lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found his form lately. The reason we won't get much for him is exactly why we need him replaced tbh. But at least you know he'll run around for 90 mins so I guess if he's here for another season it's not a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) We simply need atleast 2-3 players in each position if we want to move forward and upwards. We can't just be relying on our first 11. Any injury or suspension to the likes of Big Jo or Bruno, and we are fucked. Yes the backups we have in Willock, Shelvey, Murphy and Miggy aren't as good perhaps but until we can add higher quality players, we can't be selling any decent players we currently have and I include Miggy as one. Maybe ina season or two, bigger names can be attracted but we must have atleast a decent and reliable 2nd 11 for the time being.

Much rather see Murphy leave. Also, Miggys stock has been super low for quite a while. He is better than he has showed under Bruce, even though not a world breaker by any means. He can be replaced next season. Ideally he’d be 4th choice along with Fraser. If we could get decent money for him then I’d sell, but we won’t. We also won’t be signing too many players either. with one of these two wide players being able to cover for Wilson centrally.

Tiresias Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Honestly, if someone offers reasonable fee would be happy to see him get a chance elsewhere, if we can't shift him he will be handy positive squad presence and some pace off the bench if need be. Either way fine with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Currently he’s first choice at RW for me, even if we sign a top player he’ll be second choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I want to see him given a run in his natural preferred position playing behind the striker as a #10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I wouldn't be looking to sell him even if we get an upgrade. He's currently our 2nd best wide man and still think he could do a job as a 10 if we go that way sometimes. Looked like he was starting to recapture the performance levels he had under Rafa and I dont think we've seen the best of yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Everyone on here knows my opinion of him but I agree its pretty pointless selling him now considering the fee we'd get would be tiny in the grand scheme of things. Back up No 10 for me to come on for last 20 mins or so if chasing the game. Should not be a starter except in league cup games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 That video is the exception, rather than the rule. One goal and zero assists in the equivalent of 19.5 games last season. Fraser is a better option on the right, for me, but it’s clear we need a signing there. I’d also sell Miggy ahead of Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 He's kinda in the Ruel Fox position for me. Happy to have him fill in for Gillespie/Ginola as and when but if someone offers the equivalent of 4.5million I'm taking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It's all well and good saying we need a squad but if we sign a right winger that's 5 players we'd have for the wide areas + we're after a striker who can play there too like Ekitike. I'd say it would be very likely that a winger would then have to go from the squad - so probably one of Almiron or Murphy most realistically. I think Almiron is a better around player technically for sure but not sure he's much of an impact option off the bench at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
