He’s a good footballer. But is he good enough to be a consistent starter for a top 6 club? Is Murphy? Is Gordon?

 

Mahrez. Foden. Saka.  Salah. 

He’s a good few levels below. 

I’m not being pessimistic. Almiron deserves to be here and play in the CL. But the squad is missing quality in that area of the pitch. 

Miggy always had final third quality. He just missed his chances like on his debut against Everton. I have no problem with him being our preferred right sided attacker for the next three to four seasons. He’s older, wiser and a genuine threat to full backs. You have to remember Miggy is 29 now and is in the prime of his career. As players retire and new ones come in, Miggy will be a a step or two above them and as they’re finding their feet, Miggy will be running past them as he’s gotten over the initial teething problems that come along with being a Premier League footballer 
 

Between Gordon, Barnes, Almiron, Isak, Wilson, and Joelinton if needed, we have enough fire power to make it through the season IMO. We were having trouble finding a place for Maxi toward the end of the season so I think we’ll be okay going forward. 
 

And as far as Miggy not being as good as Salah, Mahrez, Saka, Foden, that’s fine because he doesn’t have to be. I think Isak and Wilson will shepherd that responsibility. If Miggy can chip in with 8-10 PL goals, that’s a bonus and I’m fully convinced he’s capable of that

His main weakness is that he’s just not that good at football. 

 

You said this last season as well, how did that turn out? No one is saying he's a world beater by the way, but throwing around vague comments like he's not that good at football is lazy stuff. He's got some weaknesses and some outstanding strengths. Like I said, it will take quite a lot of money to replace him.

But would he get in the Man City side? Would he? Eh? But would he?

We surely need a CB with some pace, athleticism. 

Think it was Douglas who said  we are after a CB with pace

You got me there bro. He would barely make their cup reserve teams.

The problem with Miggy is that his right leg is only there to stop him falling over. Defenders have sussed him out, and he's becoming less effective.

[AJ9]

I think Miggy slowed down due to tiredness, as well as Bruno’s form and position within the side changing. A lot of his goals seemed to come from Bruno releasing him into the box and I’m going to guess in the latter half of the season that wasn’t happening as much. If Bruno or Tonali can find that interplay again I think we will score goals this season.

He's been one footed longer than last season, it's the tactics that were sussed out mind especially when we were so one sided in attack and nothing was coming from the left side.

Miggy suffered from that calf? injury and it took him a while to build his fitness back. Other sides also started to work out hes always going to cut back in on his left foot.

Massive British and Irish core, hopefully we can see a genuine influx of youngsters into the first team squad, not just the one regular every 5 year - Shola, Taylor, Krul, Dummett and Longstaff since 2000 is absolutely wank.

[Hanshithispantz]

Miggy's drought is massively overplayed in anycase.

 

He went 5 games without a goal in the league, scored 2 in 4 (one from the bench), then only played 174 minutes across the next 5 games, started the final 4 where he got an assist.

 

It's a poor run but he could realistically have scored a couple more if he was starting during that latter period, which still puts him on course for 8-10 goals a season.

This is why I think Barnes on the other side will open things up for him a bit. I can also see him getting a couple of tap-ins following in from Barnes cutting in from the left and shooting.

Does anyone know if that was in the context of Livramento + 2 or +1

I took it Livramento plus one more.

[STM]

It was 2 more including Livramento, who he obviously didn't want to be drawn on.... although he said he liked the player so that's as good as done.

[Decky]

Ill take his word for it to mean Livramento +1.

 

 

[The College Dropout]

Seeemingly an RCB and thatvwilll be us in terms of permanent transfers unless something changes obviously. 

[David Edgar]

Landing a top tier CB will make this a very successful summer.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Would be an incredible window.
