Eddie Howe and Newcastle resumed their standard operations following last week’s setback at home against Bournemouth, securing a decisive away victory against Ivan Juric’s Southampton, thereby maintaining their strong position in the competition for Champions League qualification.
The match presented numerous topics for Howe to discuss, including Miguel Almiron’s forthcoming departure and his on-field farewell, the performance of the hosts, and the need to address squad concerns regarding the selection of his matchday eleven and the players who are excluded.
Please review Howe’s remarks following the match, as detailed below: Miguel Almiron’s farewell wave? A late exclusive from the The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards ostensibly confirmed that Miguel Almiron’s impending departure, claiming Newcastle have now agreed a fee with Atalanta United.
Nevertheless, there remains ambiguity regarding the precise timing of Almiron’s final appearance for the club. Howe himself has emphasised that Almiron’s interaction with the travelling supporters was “not necessarily a farewell.” “When enquired about the post-match atmosphere,
Howe remarked that the crowd was wholeheartedly embracing him and expressing a considerable amount of affection.” “Miggy does not possess the type of character characterised by an inflated ego that seeks to monopolise attention.” However, I deemed it essential that we expedite his arrival at the front.
It is universally recognised that he has been exceptional for our team. His demeanour, dedication, and performance on the pitch. “I am not suggesting that this is a farewell.” The future remains uncertain. “However, I perceived it as a significant moment for him.”
