WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 He’ll be off in the summer. I struggle to see how he fits in and I don’t think he has the ability to adapt, even if he wanted or we asked him to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of players have the same problem like James Rodriguez, Oscar, Isco...etc They all have one thing in common, lack of pace and physicality.

Doctor Zaius Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Think he'll be off at the end of the season. There's a player in there, seems to have lost his way a bit though. No idea where he fits in this current side though. Within the midfield three? No. As a winger? Dont think hes got the delivery. Perhaps in Willocks role behind the 9? 37 Games for club and country without a goal now like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Howe getting the team into a position to press and control the game more like we saw on Tuesday might help Almiron, wouldn't be surprised to see him come into team at some point and help. His pressing and pace could be pretty useful in a team that presses together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I still think he can have a big role to play coming off the bench especially when we are trying to protect a lead, his energy and carrying the ball is made for that role of relieving pressure and giving us time to get back into shape. But the other night Howe brought Murphy on so maybe it’s not the way Howe sees him, quite a niche role as well and if I was Miggy I might want to go elsewhere to start.

You say that, but he has never done that when he has come on. You just don’t notice him. Edited February 10, 2022 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Rafa we saw those kind of attributes exactly, the only difference being he started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Yeah, like everyone I think he's pretty sure to be off in the summer. I really like him and want him to do well. He's got quality in him, but don't think he'll make the step up that I hoped he would and don't see a place under Howe, especially as we look to push on if we stay up. Think he'll be a decent player somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krabbe2 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Not that money is the biggest problem anymore, but if we manage to get 15-20 million for Almiron and get Raphinha for 50 million it is good business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I don’t really think it’s right to say he’s been Bruce’d. He only started scoring and assisting under him and was very good at it around 2020. I really like him but he needs to be in the right position to have impact, which doesn’t seem to be out wide. His work rate is terrific and he’s quick, but not brilliant technically or reliable enough in front of goal imo.

Like you suggest, I wondered whether he'd be thrown on the other night to do just that and again like you say, Howe went for Murphy instead. It's one of the few things that makes me believe he'll be moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Can imagine he might fancy a move back to Mexico City, fair bit of money in the Liga MX too so wouldn’t hit his wages too. Play for his beloved cement company, Cruz Azul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think HTT made the mistake once, didn't back down and now refers to all of Spanish-speaking Latin America as Mexico. (I'm sure he detailed his criteria for Mexico at some point - e.g. that has to be Spanish Speaking & in Americas). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, be a shame to see Miggy go. Good footballer, bad time to be at the football club. If we didn't have Saint-Max and more invested in Willock he'd be starting and doing good things.

Astroblack Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I still like him. I just think he's a bit unlucky in front of goal like he'll hit the post, just hit shots wide, I can remember a few goal line clearances. Was he the one that De Gea made that miraculous save in the 1-1 from? Things like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
