Shak Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We desperately need another RW, thought that was obvious when we were coming to the end of the transfer window and not buying one was a massive mistake. I'm not the biggest Almiron fan but he gets too much blame when things are going badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room for sentiment it's clearly a place where we can improve. I agree that we should be looking to replace him for a player who can cross and who is less one-footed. However, whoever that player ends up being, I’d still be happy with Almirón getting lots of minutes as the work he does for us is massive for the overall team. Having a player who always gives everything is extremely important too. We all want a more dangerous RW but that doesn’t mean Almirón is just completely done in this team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes shite man he's been over hyped for the last 12 months but the truth is he's nowhere near a top 6 premier league player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We definitely need to upgrade him, to a top class RW. he’s had almost identical chances today and against Everton and wasted both. Not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We really are paying the price for persisting with him, he is a very limited footballer who makes it up by giving a 110%, however we are at a level where you need players with actual technical ability.

mouldy_uk Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I like the guy, but without his running / energy he’s almost pointless as he can’t pass, cross and his shooting is erratic at best. Hopefully next season he can be an impact sub which would suit him perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 He's far from shite, but we need to upgrade before next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Is his right foot A. That bad or B. He's got a mental block which makes him shit scared to use it I've never ever known a more one footed footballer. Surely he Has worked on it in all the years he has been a professional Edited December 10, 2023 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted Generator Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) He’s going to be fucking brilliant coming off the bench next season giving fullbacks absolute nightmares with his constant running. Cracking squad player to replace the Matt Ritchies of the current 25 man squad. Edited December 10, 2023 by Jilted Generator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 After some immense performances last week, he's been canny tragic this week. Nature of the beast with him. Likely due to the situation but I've found his tracking back the last 2 games to be very poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Pretty clear he's exhausted, like most of the rest of the team. Not sure why some would choose to view his last two performances outside of that context Edited December 10, 2023 by Barnes23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
