I think we can all agree that if he signed for anyone else, he would turn out to be another Modric/Bale/Dele Alli level of one who got away. If he does sign for us he'll turn out to be another Albert Luque.
Signing a real player, for money, on deadline day. All we need is a red card for Spurs on Saturday and the Mike-racle is complete.
Already lining one up for Deadline day - doubt Miguel announced tonight - who knows we may end up with Samaris (has a contract offer from his club) and Limbombe as well??
My theory is that Mike told Charnley to go and tell the fans the usual tale about not managing to get transfers over the line, and not to worry if he sounded like a broken record. Charnley interpreted this instruction with his usual level of competence
Interesting that we have taken out an overdraft with Barclays to complete this Almiron signing. Surely NUFC should have had ready funds to do the deal without having to borrow, after receving a season and a half of Prem TV monies + player sales etc. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/foot...astle-united-organise-bank-overdraft-13929203
He'd better be good. We need a boost, a player who will get everyone excited again on match day. It's going to be hard for him to hit the ground running. It's going to be a big adjustment as he will get no where near the same sort of time to think when he's on the ball. From what I have seen in highlights though he looks very promising. Seems much stronger on the ball than Cabella or Tauvin were.
I think we should give the club its dues as an equal opportunities employer. We must be one of the few clubs regularly giving disabled players the chance to live a normal life. First Joselu and now Almiron.
They are waiting to get the other 3 in then show them all off together,my sauces say it 'll happen about 5.
