As Newcastle United players go, Miguel Almiron is one who is loved and loathed in equal measure. The forward’s attitude is never in doubt but his end product is a frustration for many Toon fans.
With the takeover opening the club up to potentially signing the very best players, what does the future hold for Almiron at Newcastle? In the latest episode of The Everything is Black and White mini-series Lets’s Talk About, John Gibson and Andrew Musgrove are focusing on Almiron and whether he can remain part of Eddie Howe’s squad.
The pair have very different views on Almiron - Musgrove, a big fan of the Paraguayan, whereas Gibbo is very honest in his assessment: he’s nothing more than a squad player. But as we’ve seen with Joelinton, Howe has a knack for turning a player’s career around - and Musgrove hopes the same can be done to Almiron in the new season, acknowledging otherwise it could be the door for him.
