Miguel Almirón


Deuce

Recommended Posts

I love Miggy’s attitude, personality and effort on the pitch but I don’t think he’s going to transform into a high-assists / goals winger. He suits our high press and he has a good partnership with Bruno. Given that it’s Everton, we shouldn’t be letting him go for anything under £20m, given how appalling they are at business

The whole point of getting a new winger is to provide genuine depth to the squad, it would be silly to get rid of Almiron even if we replace with better, as we'd still be in the same situation as right now. If for example we get Harrison in and Miggy goes out, we're still left with Murphy as backup.

Almiron, Murphy & Fraser or Harrison, Murphy & Fraser?

 

Clear upgrade imo.

The problem being, should Harrison get injured, just like should Miggy get injured now, we'd still be left with Murphy and Fraser :lol:

 

Not saying Harrison isn't a better player, as he is, more that were trying to build a good squad, with competitiveness for places.

Yes but we would have a much better starting XI.

It’s all guesswork about fees, but my personal view is you should upgrade your worst players first. Murphy, then Fraser, then Almiron.

If it's a choice between getting the extra money to stay within FFP and signing a Miggy upgrade, and keeping Miggy at the expense of someone better, surely it's option 1 all day long?

If selling Almiron means we can sign Maddison and Pedro, then yeah. If selling him means we only buy Maddison then no. Our squad is too small/shit for a one in one out policy.

Step back, take  a breath and think about that. You'd be against selling Miggy and getting Madison ?

If it means that’s our entire budget gone, yes. Chris Wood is the reason.

 

We need a striker.

 

obviously in the ideal world we’ll get both, so it’s all a circumstantial conversation.

I'm not so sure. Which is more important, a back up for Wilson, not even a first team starter possibly or someone to go straight into the starting XI and probably adding goals etc from the off ?

As I say, it’s speculation on what our budget is.

 

If Wilson is now injured we won’t be signing a Maddison 

I don't think we'd be signing Madison even if Wilson was 100% fit.

Not a chance I'd sell him now. He offers far more than any other right-winger we've currently got. He'd make a good understudy to someone like Harrison, if we could achieve a signing like that; but tbh I feel fine with him being first choice if we chose to put our 'attacking addition eggs' into a CM basket. He's improved a lot and might yet continue to.

 

Everton would be an awful move for him anyway, he needs someone like Howe.

By all accounts we're looking to bring in two with no outgoings. Let's say that's Pedro and CHO. If selling Miggy then meant we could get one of the more exciting targets you'd still be opposed?

Some of these comments are a bit weird about things like how strong or weak is. It’s a shitload stronger than the time last year and was third in the form table second half of the season. That kind of suggests that we’ll do better given a fair wind. We all know it isn’t going to happen overnight. Patience.
