He doesn't come across like that at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 8 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: If we could get good money I'd sooner keep Miggy as the 4th winger in the group. You'd imagine the new signing would be left-footed so just gives a bit balance having two right-footers (one who can also play either wing if you want crosses from the byline) and two lefties where you can do similar. Then you'd have first choice Gordon & new RW, second choice Barnes & new RW, third choice Barnes & Gordon, then options with Almiron when there's two of them out. Paraguay’s (waning) golden boy would/should never settle for being that far down the pecking order; anywhere. He deserves to be relied upon and loved somewhere as first choice. Preferably somewhere that’ll pay a good wedge for his services. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Moreland Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 From the Ronny Gill: "The future of Newcastle United winger Miguel Almiron is set to come under the microscope over the next fortnight amid transfer interest in the Paraguay international. Chronicle Live understands the 30-year-old is in discussions with his agent Daniel Campos over his next steps, amid reported talks with an unnamed Saudi club." https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/key-fortnight-could-hand-newcastle-29488373 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Always quite liked him and thought he could at least help us close out a game due to his work rate even if he wasn't a first choice starter. I once saw him in the big Asda in Gosforth on his way out of there with a mate of his shortly after he joined - big beaming smile from him, obviously had been recognised a few times in there and seemed to be loving it rather than shying away from people. Maybe it's time for him to go, but if so, I'm not having him as anything other than a player who tries his hardest even under the Bruce years, had really very decent spells under both Rafa and Eddie, and has had the best attitude.

Stifler Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) I love him, and yes his final ball needed work, but if he had that then he wouldn’t have been here past 18 months under the Ashley regime. Ultimately he was the best we were ever going to have under Ashley, and when we got took over, he was always under a clock of when he would become 2nd fiddle, and then ultimately leave. He always gave his all for us, he never gave us problems, and he was a fans favourite for a reason, always down to his attitude. The Premier League maybe was too big of a challenge for him, and he probably could have been a club legend for any club in any other European League, aside from the big giants. I hope he has fond memories here, and I hope he has an attitude similar to Jonas, and Solano about the club, and the area after he has left us. For him, I actually hope he either gets that move back to Atlanta and helps them challenge again, or goes back to his boyhood club, and does well. He actually deserves to see out his playing career somewhere where he loves, will feel adored, and will always been useful to the team/squad, rather than going to Saudi (no disrespect to Saudi) and getting a load of money, playing for 12-18 months, and going out without much fanfare. Maybe he can do both. From his Insta account it seems like he helps his family, and his hometown a lot, so maybe earning a shit load of money, and giving back to them is him, and his ultimate fitting legacy. One of my cats will forever be called MiguEllie Almirón. Edited July 7 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Love him, top pro and gives everything. Half of the frustration with him is that he's playing on the right when left-footed, which is a trend in football and nothing to do with him. Got unlucky with Rafa's departure as well.

The College Dropout Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) I must say - I really like Miggy and his attitude is A1 and should be the standard. I've criticised him a lot on here because many have over-rated his ability. But objectively - he's given his all for us and he has more respect and support.

He'll be trying to find another club who will pay him as much as we do. Might not be that easy outside of Saudi...that's assuming there's actually a Saudi club that wants him, not even sure that is still the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Have to bear in mind that regardless of the fact we'll all think the system sucks modern football has these agents embedded in the process. They want their usual salaries also and the total stagnation of the transfer market will be affecting them, massively. There'll be some right agitating going on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly he's limited but not severely, he's not Colback. Secondly, people fell in love with his tenacity, his work rate, his attitude and positive demeanour, all of which are world class.
