Official: Almiron to Juve (25 Viewers)
- Thread starter Durden
- Start date
Dont know if you noticed, but we are not that superior as we used to be
and most important; its Almiron we are speaking about
(BTW his name means "salty", in Greek)
he is more of a Fiorentina material than Juve material, if we buy another DM, better than him or Zanetti he would fear to join us and compete with them. (The other DM, Paro and Zanetti) rather than Blasi...
I agree, we have more chances to buy him, then they have, generally.
But i also think, Fiorentina can compete with us, for his transfer, directly or indirectly,
they could have a huge role in this (even helping Inter to sign him)
Their efforts will do, only damage to our cause, as we might have to raise our bid to match theirs...
If we really are not that determined to buy him and we are currently only interested for his talent/price ratio, then his transfer wont be of such a great interest after his price tag is risen,
since there are several better options in a higher price.
Fiorentina may be his happy owner afterall, if they are determined enough and insist until the end.
And i hope, they will force us to sign someone better...

After following Almiron in his last three matches including today's match against Inter, I've figured out some of his advantages as well as his disadvantages.
His best and most apparent skill is his passing abilities, it reminds me of Veron's. The latter is incomparable though, especially when it comes to long passes. Almiron's concentration and awareness of his team-mates positions on pitch are pretty good. His positioning, when to defend and to share in attack, is so balanced. His body balance and stamina are optimum when we bear in mind that he is a centre midfielder.
Still, there are some negative points which shouldn't be ignored. He is slow and he doesn't run a lot, his position requires him to do the maximum effort he can in every match if he really wants to join a big side. His movements is limited to the centre of the field and the area around it, he's to extend his working area both vertically and horizontally. Another thing that I noticed, he gets rid of the ball once he receives it. Actually this is a good; the one-touch pass. It isn't required in all situations, nevertheless. He has to possess the ball more.
In brief, he is a witty centre midfielder, although, I don't think he can be a starter, if he joins us, without working on improving his general performance.

i know i could seem like a negative person for focusing on that but I believe a central midfielder should always do a bit more than his fair share in working hard even if its a simple closing down the opponents and helping out the other(s) in the midfield.Mybe that could be changed if he comes here
And I dont like players that don't work hard generally

Thanx for the report. Good stuff. 
However, I noticed that even before, that´s why I don´t want him.

And that's what I'm talking about. I like hard workers in almost every inch on pitch.
As for Almiron, I don't know if this was his best or not and if he can improve or not. I'll try to watch him more.
I have nothing against Almiron, but if I were in DD place and they bring me Almiron because there is no enough fund to cover Gerrard then I will 
Forget GerrardI said it before millions of times, I still hate to say it though: "It is easier to travel to the moon more than travelling to Liverpool to get Gerrard".
Actually, all the causes you mentioned make sense, but the most important one is him being a legend in Liverpool. As for the other causes, learning another language wouldn't be that hard, giving the fact that football as a sport itself is an international language. Also, not playing in the champions league only for one season isn't that big issue, he won it before. Still not playing in Europe is a sacrifice, nevertheless.
