This! He wouldn’t need pace at all in some teams. I wouldn’t even say he needs it for us. Just build everything else around him. Tactics/personnel/style.

But every big club in Europe know every single detail about him and how he could elevate their team to another level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 He’s a one footed passer but he uses both feet on the dribble and to trap the ball. And uses the outside of his foot well. Like a young Luka Modric. Thats the worst thing about Miggy. He won’t use his right foot to do anything. He’ll awkwardly control the ball with his left to avoid using his right.

The College Dropout Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The one thing about him here is that he’s truly him for us. He’s the man. He plays like the man. Everyone in the team knows he’s the man. And he embraces it. Go somewhere else and he’ll become a cog. Not sure if that suits him. It’s like the opposite of Gini. Gini is a good player but he’s never ‘the man’ type player. Doesn’t want the responsibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some Brazilian journalist on the Totally football show last season who regularly interviews the South American lad in the Prem.

Tiresias Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm not saying he will be sold or wants to go or anything but i think the idea that a player can't both love playing for a club and also make hard nosed decisions on their career on discussion with their team is a bit of a fan fantasy. It certainly makes it more appealing for him to stay, and easier for us to refuse to sell. It is the nature of the modern game unfortunately that agents are highly motivated to arrange moves for their players as they earn massive financial rewards for doing so (would love for this to change I'm sure little has contributed more to that crazy player price inflation) and players want to play for as high profile a club as they can. I also don't think that means there's any dishonesty in how much bruno seems to enjoy it here tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Barcelona link is the daftest one of all. Club who has to sell various parts of their future earnings just to pay existing wages is suddenly going to find 100m+ for Bruno? Only sides I'm really scared of have always been Man City, PSG, and maybe Real Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) God I'd be so upset seeing him go to City. Would fill their gundogan shaped hole pretty well too...

The Prophet Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 "I'm not going to confirm whether there is or isn't any release clauses in Bruno or any other of our player's contracts," said Ashworth. "They're all private and confidential. "I can say to you about the principles of release clauses and you can have a situation where a player may have a dream country or club that they want to play for and you can make it specific to them, you can make it specific that it can sit outside of your competitors in the Premier League. "Sometimes players view the fact that they're happy to sign a long-term contract but if family situations change they may want to experience something different." Perhaps in reading into it too too much, but that reads to me like he won't be going to another club in England, if and when he does lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 In a thread about Bruno, where he's just completely dominated a game, again, and people are still finding a way to criticise Almiron in it. It's ace really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 28(!) progressive passes yesterday . Not sure I've ever seen that many in one game tbh. For context the most he's managed in a game this season so far was 11 and he's averaging around 8 per 90. Bumps him up in the standings a bit and ahead of Rodri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ace really We are talking about being one footed tbf. I’ve been fairly positive about Almiron in recent weeks. He’s been getting more stick for the same level of performance he’s been doing for the majority of his time here. Which I don’t understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ace really He has a valid point on Miggy though so he is not wrong. Whether it’s wrong or not to mention in here is a different matter depending on who reads it. Surely you’re allowed to make comparisons with other players in player x thread. Some people have gone overboard with the hate and criticism against players by almost abusing them and saying they are absolutely shite and this and that. I definitely don’t agree with that, especially when it goes too far. However you should also be allowed to say “negative” things and express your opinion on whatever it might be that you don’t like or rate or something that isn’t working at the moment without it being judged as total negativity and abuse, why do you support this club and this and that. It’s ok to think player x has been very poor, or player x can be improved. Or say that we have been shite during a game. There just needs to be a balance. All this positive/negative stuff has got ridiculous with two different sides being relentless about it. It’s tiresome, from both sides. Not all is Black or White. There needs to be a balance from both sides and everyone in between. The forum would be much better for it. I know I went a bit everywhere with this. Could say that this post was meant in general for this forum. So not literally aimed at you as I went blah blah. This forum can be so much better, no matter “what side” you’re on or in between. Sometimes people only choose to take notice of the negative while also missing out on all the positives a poster makes. Valid points and balance is all I’m saying.

I actually agree with the sentiment here (and you'll notice I did quote both the positive and the negative), but everyone in the world knows that Miggy is one footed, I'm not really sure how mentioning it over and over again adds much to the forum?

They're not on the comp because they were intercepted but he has that ability. Yeah, I saw it. He did it once iirc and a Fulham player picked it up. He normally just passes with his right. Just an observation. Longstaff who’s not nearly as good a passer can and does use both feet. It can be handy like… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when everyone decided on describing positions as numbers, but it doesn’t make a lick of sense to do so - football formations and positions aren’t rigid, so describing a position by a number isn’t a great idea. aye, the classic 4 destroyer seems to have been forgotten.

In this case he was talking about how Bruno does it well and then just made a comparable point as an example. Never thought about it being any kind of dig whatsoever against Miggy so I didn’t even take notice. I’m sure there’s nothing to react to here as he didn’t mean any harm by doing so. Positive or negative things on this forum gets repeated hundreds of times per day. Just like on any other forum. It’s just when it’s done wrong when it’s not very pleasant.

He was a big deal in Milan and rightly so but our CMs have quite a diverse skill set and some very very good players and athletes amongst them. Bruno has talent but it’s his attitude and desire which are so stand out. Can you have 2 of those in the middle? Obvs I hope so and hope it works like a treat… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
