Seemed to come through as a promising cb but recently played a lot at lb. Not having the greatest season but could be a player rodgers could develop. Wonder whether he would be worth looking at as a cb but also a reserve lb when Fuchs goes. Good player, very small though for a CB I think?

On the subject of Almiron he played in the same side as Martinez and tore the MLS to shreds and has struggled big time in the EPL. His goal scoring record is phenomenal I know the MLS is like Championship level, but we could do with a backup striker and he would fit the bill.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 25 November 2019 Share Posted 25 November 2019 1 hour ago, TJB-fox said: In fairness that’s a bit harsh to say he’s struggled big time. Newcastle fans absolutely love him, he’s just been unlucky/poor in front of goal. A lot of them think once he grabs his first goal he’ll kick on. But they do rate him. They like him as he works hard, he's yet to score a single goal though and he was brought to chip in with goals as he done in the MLS. Given he's their record transfer at £20m+ and 12 months in he's yet to score a single goal I'd say he's disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Almiron fee is anything to go by then they'd want circa £25m for him which is a lot of money for a player from the MLS imo. If your spending that sorta cash there would be far less risky options than him imo. Also it's probably a total non-starter as he doesn't do anywhere near enough off the ball to survive in a Rodgers side, he's very much your old fashioned penalty box striker.

He’s incredibly popular though so I’d say he’s disappointed in front of goal rather than ‘struggled big time’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion I really don't think so. Him and De Boer apparently have a bit of a frosty relationship due to this also, guess in the MLS he'll get away with it due to the volume of goals he scores. He also strikes me as someone who would need to play week in week out to maintain that match sharpness that makes him such a deadly finisher, cameos and impact substitute roles wouldn't suit him I don't think.

AKCJ Posted 25 November 2019 Share Posted 25 November 2019 No surprise that Martinez is consistently scoring goals in MLS yet nobody wants him. He's a finisher but nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Okazaki and Albrighton. Fair enough, I know a lot of toon fans that rave about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad is spot on and any additions are going to ideally be next level to improve what we already have. Fraser is decent but it's the one position we are missing a superstar in.
