Deuce Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I've never seen anything of Almiron, but given the gulf in quality of MLS vs PL, are those who've seen him totally convinced on him as a significant upgrade on Perez/Muto in that role ? He’s more of a natural 10 than either Perez or Muto, at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Love what BWP has done. Could have been a Championship/League 1 player all of his career, instead he spent 5 years banging them in living in New York and got to partner Thierry Henry.

He'd be a player I'd be excited to see play and what he can do if we signed him, and I haven't had a feeling like that about a new signing for ages. I miss it.

mrmojorisin75 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Miguel Almiron and Josef Martinez of Atlanta would be great. Then a left back and I'm happy! fucking hell 54 goals in 50 league games for them, amazed no one has taken a punt on him tbh, what kind of striker is he?

Kaizero Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Am I wrong to be sceptical about this lad's quality/price-tag given the league he's in? Yes, he looks genuine quality. Streets ahead of other MLS players. Only thing to be sceptical of is how well he'll do in a physical league like the PL vs La Liga, for instance. Then again the clobbers in the MLS aren't exactly physically kind either, just less quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 There's always the risk because of that, but having seen him enough it's clear he's way above MLS' quality. Only comparable player is Giovinco when he first came over three years ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 In all seriousness though, Robbie Keane was well past his best for Ireland while taking the piss in MLS so it would be a big gamble for Almiron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's even if we sign him, which we probably won't) Would be intrigued if we did though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 All Keane had to do was finish behind what was clearly the best mdifield then. Almiron is the creator of best attacking team in th eleague. But yeah, anyone coming over from a league Bradley Wright-Philips dominates has to be questioned. Personally, I’d be really excited if we somehow pulled it off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Almiron was great in the Argentine league as well, don't forget. Got signed as a designated player at 22. On a higher salary than Zlatan. On that note, would we even be close to paying the wages he'd no doubt want? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on $44,000 a week, so around £35,000. You'd imagine if he went to a normal PL club he'd look at anywhere from £80k to £100k. Isn't our current highest player only just above £80k? His stock is high, better and more normal clubs will no doubt be around him. Hopefully the pull of Rafa can bring him in, as the money won't do it.
