https://soccersouls.com/2018/12/22/...-argentine-star-would-be-perfect-for-watford/ Not sure who the reporter is, his agent by the sounds of it though, but he reckons we should sign this guy in January.
I think if we're at the stage of posting clickbait articles in the transfer rumours section it'll be full within a month.
It's his nickname from where he was born in Mendoza. Fantastic low centre of gravity, great balance, two footed and creative and not to mention has speed. Scored a delightful chip to finish off Kashima Antlers 4-0 in the CWC. If you want a player to compare him to Lanzini is a close resemblance and he was brought to River Plate to fill that role when Lanzini left. His form has seen him called up to the Argentina national team but bizarrely he has signed a contract with Atlanta United in the MLS instead of coming to Europe. Tata Martino former coach at Barcelona and national coach of Paraguay and Argentina was a big pull and players from there like Almiron have or are moving to Europe. I think it's a bad career choice nonetheless development wise. We won't sign him and we already have a packed midfield and like for like he could perhaps partly fill Pereyra's boots. We need to focus on a striker and defender.
Atlanta United regularly draws crowds of over 70,000 fans. They play open, attacking football and appear likely to continue that post-Martino under de Boer. Moving there would not be a bad move for a young player. We should look to raid them every so often. They have 4-5 high-end talents (including Almiron).
Raid them? They are paying upwards of £15m for players. We are hardly kids in a candy store by comparison....
