Serb

All time not just Serbian, but Ex-Yugoslavian international goalscorers. Mind that Mitrović is only 23 years old.

He ain't coming back. “I think Fulham needs me and I need Fulham, we both need each other and I’m really happy.” “At Newcastle, the team there played a compact shape and mostly counter attacked, so this is not where I am strongest.” “This is the style that Rafa played and I have to accept this, but here I have adapted really fast because we play attacking football with a lot of crosses and balls into the box and around it too.”

This is all coming from a guy who thinks he's played two premier league games You must think you are very clever, even though you know exactly what my point was. Gayle clearly ain't a world beater, as those stats you posted say, but we won't bring in a world beater anyway. That being said, we definitely need more than one type of striker around. And giving up on one that we have, that scored 23 goals last year, is just a bad idea.

Two bad games at the start of the campaign is enogh for whole lot of ya'll to say he isn't Premier League calibre. The thing is, I think he's actually a very good striker when played in a striking partnership. Even as a lone gun he proved to be very efficient in the Championship - first couple of games in PL were definitely not assuring, but come on, give the lad a chance, eh? Inconsistency of "tactical geniuses" among fellow Newcastle supporters is stunning. Majority of the fans said that playing Mitro as a lone striker doesn't work because of his physical abilities, and now all of a sudden - Joselu scored a tap in, Mitro scored as a sub when we already destroyed West Ham's confidence - and the only thing working in Rafa's system is a big man up front. And the little guy who scored 23 is a definite surplus. Whoa. As much as I love Rafa, and I get the fact that he's working in difficult conditions where he has to sell in order to (hopefully) replace, I think that his stubbornness about team formation may cost us options we desperately need. P.S. This is all coming from a guy who thinks Mitrović should be above Gayle in the pecking order.
