The Butcher Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 1 hour ago, The College Dropout said: 8 goals in 3.5 years. Powder puff finisher. Miguel Almiron is not a PL level winger/forward/attacking midfielder imo. He's not good at anything attacking. Agreed. 20m wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 56 minutes ago, Happinesstan said: Like everybody else in our attack [including Maxi] he suffered from the lack of any tactic, or training, that involved attacking. We saw how he linked up with Bruno towards the latter part of the season, and I think he'll thrive when called upon. Like I keep saying, he'll surprise a few next season. If you Expect him to be good I think he might just surprise you. I don’t rate him at all to be honest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 We've seen he can finish, so the question is really why doesn't he do it more often? We've seen many a world class forward struggle to finish at times and the reason is often that they're simply not 100%, mentally. Sometimes it's that they're not getting enough opportunities. Almiron has been unlucky that he never got the opportunities, which affected him mentally. Sure we can point to a number of missed opportunities over his time here but he's lucky if he got one chance per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 50 minutes ago, TRon said: Even if you disregard the goals, he doesn't even wing in any decent crosses. He produces no end product whatsoever. I don't care if he has been mis-managed, what that tells you is, he just can't produce quality when it's required. Facts. No creativity, doesn't drive the team forward whilst carrying the ball, can't cross, shoot. He's not very good. He makes Moussa Sissoko look like Thierry Henry.

Happinesstan Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Look at today's friendly. We've got a pretty Brucish team out there and we've created nowt. Almiron for Murphy and Bruno for Willock and we'll see a different game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I've never seen a player produce so little for so long, yet have so many people defending him. Anyway, RW is the weakest position in the squad. I don't think any club would pay a fee for Almiron. Might get a fee for Fraser or Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 2 hours ago, Geordie Ahmed said: He was reportedly leaking stuff from the dressing room, obviously not sure how true that is but I remember seeing it reported last season @Froggy probably knows more on how legit the reports were Not reportedly. 100% confirmed. Very happy he's gone now, and he was at us for over 20 years. Should tell you everything. He's shite as well like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Get Gouiri and Paqueta and CHO on loan and we will have options up front. Would cost a coin or two but boy would it be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Still no idea how we managed to get Bruno, will do well to get new players in anywhere close to his quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I know it’s a friendly but some of our players are nowhere near good enough for a side looking for Europe Murphy Dummett lascelles Fraser Willock looked average Wood Bruno head and shoulders above the rest Botman looks like a tank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 We need to be bold in the transfer market, I'm not suggesting we bring in Isak, Diaby and Paqueta in one window but Paqueta, in particular, would be transformational. A bona fide marquee signing in my opinion. The 'slow builders' in the fanbase have been worn down by the Ashley era. I was around in the 80s when things were really shite and then saw what could happen with the right people in the dugout, in the boardroom and on the pitch. This club is on the verge of really going places, a spark will set it off. We absolutely don't need a mid-table consolidation season, there's a soft underbelly to the PL which we tore through in the second half of last season. I believe we beat everyone from 9th down to 20th (apart from Watford who scored against us in the last minute). Paqueta with a younger back up striker and a Sarr type signing would signal we mean business and would allow a challenge on the top 8 or even Europe.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Fraser's main attribute beyond his decent end product is the fact he runs himself into the ground like which isn't going to translate well to a friendly against a 3rd tier German side. Willock is 22 and has a lot of potential. Lascelles is fine for a 4th choice CB. Same can be said for Wood when he hopefully becomes 3rd choice.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) When he got going under Howe he scored 2 and assisted 2 in 5 games. Scored 7 and got 14 assists for Bournemouth in 18/19 (again under Howe). He's comfortable with both feet and quite clearly has a good cross on him like.

He has too many injury issues to be regarded as a first teamer for me. He's out for months at a time, then it takes a few weeks to get up to speed again, he plays a handful of games, then he's injured again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just have high standard from what I expect wingers to produce, certainly being our best winger isn’t exactly difficult either tbh He had around 5 goal involvements last season for us, is that classed as impressive at this level ?

As a squad player though he's useful at worst, and potentially really really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
