What rewriting has happened regarding Gutierrez?

Plenty thought he was shite and used to have the st james sigher brigade on his back quite often

Once he fell ill he was treated like some kind of hero who they'd all loved all along

[The Prophet]

Just don't see how Charlotte FC afford the £15 million plus we'll demand.

[Mattoon]

Genuinely don't get the ire directed at Miggy, he's always done his best, never seen an engine like his getting up and down the line, chasing every cause, let's not forget that without his purple patch UCL doesn't happen and scoring our first UCL goal in 20 years against PSG was deserving.

 

I'm not saying we should keep him, he's obviously a weak link in where we want to be, but he was a key member of where we came from, he deserves to be remembered fondly when he does leave.

£5.3m by my rough calculation, plus his wages.

Bowen’s brace?

I have many questions.

 

Didn't the MLS window just close?

How can they afford him?

Does he really want an MLS return?

Oh weird. It closed for Canadian clubs in the MLS on the 8th but US clubs on the 14th. WTF

[WilliamPS]

3.5m left on the books seems about right. He was signed in 2019 for 21m on a 5 and a half year deal then signed a new contract in 2023 for 3.5 years

 

So by the time he signed his new contract his 21m fee had amortised 15m, (21/5.5 x4) leaving 6m on the books.

 

Hes 18 months into that new deal, so that’ll be down to a rough 3.5m

 

Btw that also makes him, in PSR terms very cheap

Good that we will know very quickly if this is a goer then

Presume the calculation re: PSR though is that Charlotte need to bid far enough over that £3.5m to allow us to buy someone along the lines on Madueke. So if Madueke is going to cost £30m over 5 years then the magic number is somewhere in the region of £10m for Almiron. So effectively we're looking at Charlotte doubling their club transfer record. Will be interesting to see if it happens.

I respect him for not wanting to leave or take whatever money Saudi league is offering.

 

Only thing I see is that it's cost us at least £15m. At this point not really arsed if he goes to some other club for a nominal fee, we've ended up selling players I'd much rather have kept because he stayed.

Pretty much where my head is at. I’ll never forget the effort and purple patch but he’s symptomatic of us extending deals when we should have cashed in.

8 months too late but better late than never.

About 100k would be my guess.

Wages alone would cover a new RW

You can’t have bad wishes on a guy for not wanting to live in a dessert just so we can have a bit more cash on hip.

[Joelinton7]

Can see him going on loan. Is that allowed? To MLS? A loan?

He won't be going on loan anywhere. Someone is either going to need to pay the fee that gives us the PSR space to buy a replacement or he's going to spend the year competing with Murphy for our RW spot.

I love Almiron, hard working great little grafter that has been a fucking joy to watch. And also frustrating at times.

 

I will miss him if he is going, but i can understand. Best of luck Miguel, whatever the outcome of this summer.

Depends on the dessert really

Quite like the thought of retiring to an island made of cookie dough, surrounded by a sea of custard with pools of rice pudding or strawberry angel delight

I can well imagine Miggy fancying a move to the MLS. He's 31 this season and he's not going to move up. Be a big name there, familiar, and culturally the US will be appealing to him I imagine - compared to here and especially compared to Saudi.
