Would be more more in favour of upgrading him and moving him down the order rather than letting him go. If he was replaced he should absolutely stay he'd still be our best option from the bench, there's plenty of players that need to go before him.

Kid Icarus Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Almiron's the one player where replacing him also doesn't weaken our bench as well. Total no-brainer to sell if it funds someone like Harrison. Can't believe that isn't a more popular view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron is one of them and Lascelles, Dubravka and Fraser are the only other ones off the top of my head. I'd sell any/all of them to fund players to bulk the squad out with potential tbh. Agree with this too tbf, especially if its anywhere near £30m. But being so late in the window makes it a much riskier choice I reckon. If it was week ago, then aye fling him, get a first team replacement and someone else in to push, probably someone younger. Maybe a CF/WF to help cover 2 positions for injnuries or off the bench. But we'd only be able to get 1 in now I reckon and I think that'd be to our detriment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, exactly, I'd not sell him for £8m, that's ridiculous. I'm talking about a decent amount of money, I'd not give him away. Let's say hypothetically that it was £18m - I'd be buying a prospect from the Championship for about £10m and asking the scouts to get 2 more prospects in for £4m each, probably from the continent.

That type of thing Makes perfect sense, but I just think not with a week to go. I dont think we'd get more than 1 in before September and I think that's risky. If our replacement starter for RW doesnt start very well, needs a year to bed in, gets injured etc and we're screwed. Fraser will get injured and Murphy isnt good enough.

Fraser will get injured and Murphy isnt good enough. There's always a risk but I don't see, other than energy and running, what Almiron brings. Playing up there you'd expect goals and assists and his are awful. He harries and chases and when we're not in possession he's pretty good, problem arises when we do have the ball and he produces virtually nothing. I like him, he's a good lad, he works hard and does his job 50% of the time. But he's just not got the quality to produce on a consistent basis. I'd cash in on him for any decent price and roll the dice on 2 or 3 younger players who would match his workrate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Felt like it was always a weak link. We had fairly strong links to Broja which went completely cold, then Pulisic and Gallagher as well.
