Ameritoon Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I would have always liked Miggy anyway, but getting 10m for him right now makes me like him even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Colos Short and Curlies said: Similar to JDT he came within a whisker of scoring on his debut, I do wonder if their stats would have been better had those goals gone in. JDT of course has the Shearer injury in play, but Miggy has the fact he has been played out of position for most of his time here Remember both Mitrovic and Luque having similar very near misses on their competitive debuts and thinking the same too. Mitro in particular was definitely trying too hard to score at times in the first season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDT of course has the Shearer injury in play, but Miggy has the fact he has been played out of position for most of his time here That would have been a fantastic goal that - great one touch build up and the chip over the keeper bounced back off the post! You can’t not love Miggy! Never gave less than 100% and always had a beaming smile on his face! The spell when he turned into Messi was something else! Although his stats don’t prove it, he transformed us under Rafa’s last half season and we looked great going forward with him, Rondon and Perez! Great memories of his two goals at West Brom in the FA cup just before lockdown and his song absolutely belting out from the away end! (See below!). and that goal vs PSG! All the best to him and he’ll always be welcome back at SJP! Edited January 16 by Paully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTop Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Opening our CL account last season against PSG cements him in NUFC folklore for me. Hasn't stopped running since he joined under Rafa. If you do leave, all the best Wor Miggy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 He deserves more credit for the 2022/23 season than just the pre-WC purple patch. He scored in the first game back against Leicester, had assists in both the LC QF and SF, and had the only goal in a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth during our worst patch. And then he scored what I think is one of the biggest goals of that entire season -- no wins in almost 2 months in the league, losers of three in a row in all comps including the deflating cup final, relegated to a bench role for the first time all season, 1-1 v Wolves with 15 minutes to play, and up steps Miggy.

Yep. He was crucial to our general tactical approach as well. We're not the pressing machine that defined that season without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If he could have ever learned to kick with his right foot.. In fairness he did have a lovely link up with Bruno that season. When he's not on the pitch now i can see sometimes he's looking for passes like that but nobody is making those runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis H Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 He’s going at the right time tbh. If Murphy was to get injured now and Almiron had to play the next 4 months he’d be hated by the end of it. Murphy has raised the bar significantly and we’d be a much worse team with Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, moving on players at the right time has been something we’ve done poorly for a long time. So many of the Championship side would be really fondly remembered had Ashley not kept way past their sell by date (and made it impossible for us to sell them).

Elliottman Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Stottie said: Dunno if serious, but DCL has similar numbers to Bournemouth era Callum Wilson, who actually played in a higher scoring team. If Eddie could get NUFC era Wilson out of him, he'd be useful. Out of contract in the summer, so last chance for Everton to get anything for him. Its not as if Everton have much PSR headroom to say no even if lowballed. Since weird swapsies are all the PSR rage, one option would be to loan them Wilson himself because he is "back in February" (!!) No I was, I can totally see this happening and makes perfect sense for me this window. I imagine you'd be able to get him for similar money as what we're getting for Miggy. Howe obviously likes him, prem experienced, fairly low risk, still only 27. Can see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Busy day can someone catch me up. Why are we talking about DCL? Are there new concrete links or is it just that we've been linked for ages? As for Miggy this feels like a great move all round. He's attracted way more flack than he deserves and I'll miss his goofy mug. However, a combination of his decline, I feel he's not got back to old levels since his injury last year, and the team's progression mean that he doesn't have a role here anymore that justifies his wages and missing out on a fee like this. A swansong at the club he really broke through at should be a nice end to his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelrouser Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I would rather keep Miggy than DCL. I was hoping RW was going to be a major upgrade or at least a younger player with a high ceiling who could grow into the position like Dibling or McAtee. DCL is younger than Miggy but much more injury prone. Would still love Madueke and a young RCB who can learn under Schär for a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
