Kanj Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Shola was shit in a better team; this team we currently have is just as bad if not worse than the prior relegated team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 First Simpson, now Ameobi...I dread to read the Colback thread in about 4 years time. Terrifying thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mitrovic has 8 PL goals this season, the almighty Ameobi managed to better that a whopping one (1) time in his whole career here. One would think it'd be time to log off when you start romanticizing peak Ameobi. Can't bare sarcy condescending shite like this. No one is romanticizing anyone. I'm comparing two average-to-shit strikers. Shola was here forever and loathed by many; it doesn't mean to say he and Mitrovic aren't compareble just cos the latter is still fairly new to us. I have said more than once in this debate that Shola was largely shite. Of course he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I like Mitrovic for his effort but I'm still to be convinced he'll score goals regularly. For him to be effective for us we'll need others to contribute more goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 We can only hope that 3 goals in 2 game has sparked a bit of confidence in the lad, we've seen him with his tail up and on his day he can be a handful. I just hope it's not too late for him to be taking his chances now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Id say its hard to judge him in such a poor team with no spirit whatsoever, the lad is 21 and in a new league. He's been put under a lot of pressure to score the goals needed to keep NUFC in the league, I think that's way to much of a burden for a young player. Him and Perez have suffered badly. Shola had Shearer up front with him, that support is immense. WHo has Mitro had? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm surprised he's even being considered in the same bracket as people like Shola. For me he's a striker with a lot of heart and potential who's been parachuted into an absolute disaster zone. He's missed a few chances, but not a lot. Although I like Shola, he was a player who robbed a living in the Premier League about two divisions above his actual level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think it'd be time to log off when you start romanticizing peak Ameobi. Can't bare sarcy condescending s**** like this. No one is romanticizing anyone. I'm comparing two average-to-s*** strikers. Shola was here forever and loathed by many; it doesn't mean to say he and Mitrovic aren't compareble just cos the latter is still fairly new to us. I have said more than once in this debate that Shola was largely s****. Of course he was. You said Ameobi was unplayable on his day, and a much more accomplished finisher than Mitrovic. Bit weird that Ameobi didn't score more goals than he did if that's correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mitrovic is a limited player in many ways...but some of his abilities are (can become) worldclass. I like the kid coz he cares! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I personally think he would stay, he's settled with his little one in Newcastle - there are no upcoming International tournaments that he desperately needs to play in. He's guaranteed a comfortable wage and is one of a few players who the fans actually like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think it'd be time to log off when you start romanticizing peak Ameobi. Shola never started most of a season for us though. He would've done that or come pretty close in 05-06. Waste of time, anyway. Shit player. Thank fuck he's in the lower leagues where he belongs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Will he stay when we go down? No. Which club is going to pay anywhere close to the £15m he cost NUFC? Mike Ashley won't sanction a fire sale. He'll also be on Premiership wages (even in the Championship if it's true NUFC don't put relegation clauses in contracts) so no club other than a Premiership one could afford his wages.

Yorkie Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I know everyone loves to hate Shola but I still stand by that original statement. Shola on his very best days was a damn difficult striker to play against. Strength, power, shot, out of nowhere some deft touches. Has Mitrovic had a game for us where he's been more than a solid 7? Even those have come around sparingly. Whatever striker he becomes has no baring on this argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicente_14 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Will he stay when we go down? No. Thanks Not so long ago he was considered one of the best young prospects in Europe. Porto & Roma were both credited with a strong interest in him. Whilst he is still very raw and runs like he is carrying a piano on his back, he still has lots of potential, and you can't realistically see someone who not long ago was thought of so highly throughout Europe wanting to stay and scrap in the Championship. One of those two sides could afford him, Russian or Ukranian sides could easily afford him and probably offer Champions League football too, he certainly won't be short of suitors or offers. Him and Perez are pretty much the only two players in our squad i care about and would love him to stay, just seems very unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
