I might get stick for this but seriously, he is bang average. He shows up our scouting and recruitment policy for what it is. Rather than spend the extra coin on someone proven like Austin we gamble on someone with so-called potential in the hope he turns into something special so we can make a profit. That is our whole philosophy when it comes to recruitment. In another set-up under different circumstances Mitrovic may succeed, but not here. Not the now. We don't even cross the ball man, what hope does he have!

He's good.  The way he led the line on his own at Man Utd, City, his goal v Norwich.  Very unlucky with the header v Stoke, his link up for Perez v Bournemouth.  He's a 21 year old kid being asked to lead the line at Newcastle United in the Premier League.  Is it really surprising his performances have dipped in line with the total malaise of this team?

 

Our midfield is utterly useless, abject, a total abomination. That's the issue, top and bottom and it effects us offensively and defensively.

Hard to argue with to be fair!

Perez and Mitrovic in theory make an OK combination but they'll struggle to get 15 goals between them all season and that'll see us down. Disgusting we wouldn't pay £12m for Austin.

If the rags are to be believed we are still not keen, despite him probably having a reduced fee. Makes no sense at all.

Basically. That was always the risk with Mitro. Anything less than a dozen goals, we'll be struggling badly.

 

We needed solid PL players. Needed an Austin/Remy.

And I like Mitro. Just can't sign a young lad from the Belgium league and ask him to score the goals to keep us up.

you can, but can't if you're going to give him no supply or support. His age and experience counts for fuck all if he doesn't get supply.

Why's Perez scored more despite playing far deeper then? How did Cisse manage to get 1 in 2 last season?

 

You're playing with fire expecting players - especially young ones - from other leagues to score goals for you. Even the likes of Shevchenko and Crespo failed in the PL. Totally unique place to get goals and when you've got the opportunity to sign someone proven to get goals for you for a relatively low amount you fucking break your back to sign him. As per usual we prioritised sell-on value, though.

Think of his header off the bar at Old trafford, his  close header that raised the crowd V Chelsea, think how much we've gave him a chance. Instead we drop Anita to right back when we have the ball so Janmaat can play right wing seemingly in order to allow sissoko to come inside and keep him happy and leave us actually a man short in the middle. Seems like no matter who the manager is he's trying to keep certain players happy.
