Is our number 7 shirt particularly famous? It makes me think of Robert Lee immediately, but no one else springs to mind.

I bet he's dying to wear the shirt made famous by Lazaar.

Especially seeing as people also get up in arms when players don't use the number of the position they play. I'm sure every club can name some legend for each of the numbers/positions. Everyone makes such a big deal about the Newcastle 9, but it's not exactly special, I imagine most club's most famous players are strikers who wore that number.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned...
Been watching some youtube clips of him. There's no doubt he's technically excellent. Two footed, can pick a pass, score from outside the box etc. But from what I've seen the MLS Is like playing FIFA on easy mode. There's just nobody really closing him down. Think it might be a baptism of fire for him when he starts his first match in the Prem. I really hope he has a cracking first game though and prove me wrong!

He's played numerous games in Paraguay and Argentina which should bode well for him. They kick the f*** out of you in those leagues.originallad wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 6:21 pmApologies if this has already been mentioned...

Whatever happens hopefully our fans realise for once that moving to a new continent is a massive f***ing change and it will take time for him to settle and sort everything in your life out (football is only football). Any of us moving to the USA would take time to get used to new cultures and being away from everyone that we know.

Because of his visa stuff meaning he hasn't been able to play yet, the club should've just sent him up to Glasgow on a weekend. That'd toughen him him.overseasTOON wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 7:54 pmHe's played numerous games in Paraguay and Argentina which should bode well for him.

Having anotger S American in Rondon playing alongside him will help settle quickly hopefully.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:36 pmWhatever happens hopefully our fans realise for once that moving to a new continent is a massive f***ing change and it will take time for him to settle and sort everything in your life out (football is only football).

Be great if he could play at next home match - and get or assist in a goal.
Also the fact that there are a few other Spanish speakers in Fenandez , Perez , Manquillo will help him settle in

Newcastle also have a Spanish speaking Player Liaison Officer and of course the coaching team. Almiron does speak decent enough English so I'm told and can definitely understand it, so I don't see much issues on that side of things.Slim999 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 11:54 pmHaving anotger S American in Rondon playing alongside him will help settle quickly hopefully.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:36 pmWhatever happens hopefully our fans realise for once that moving to a new continent is a massive f***ing change and it will take time for him to settle and sort everything in your life out (football is only football).

That's all good, but settling into a completely new country and culture on the other side of the world takes a bit more than just having a few people who speak your language. He may very well settle straight away and that will be great, but equally he might need time (something our fans never give players).

Though Almiron looked promising when he came on last night. Knew he was fast but didn't realise he was that fast! Always looking for the run forward which I think our other players are going to have to get used to, defensively he was great, really mucked in and even threw his head at the ball whilst on the ground, he's gonna be exciting to watch.
