The College Dropout Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 That thought crossed my mind watching Pelle as well. How far back in development/skill Mitro is in comparison. 9 years age gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 There is a 50/50 chance that he either becomes a superstar or not and be patient because it could or could not happen over the next 9 years. What's the shelf life of potential vs cashing in? Plus factor in the quality of coaching, injuries, environment (including surrounding teammates) and other weird life and circumstantial events. It's next to impossible to predict as we have had some fantastic young talent here over the years that at different clubs and environments might have made a huge impact instead of fizzing out. Reality is with large expenditure a player, especially from abroad (where stock will linger higher for longer) only has 2/3 seasons tops before we move him on. While a player might well develop into world class over 5/6/7 years what club can afford to keep a player that long when better options in the now exist. When money is based on results and football run by money finding players that achieve their potential is difficult and circumstantial at best and one clubs can only gamble on for so long.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm a bit concerned that he hasn't scored an open play goal in the preseason games he's played so far. I'm one of the people who hope he comes good but I have big worries about his finishing abilities. Hopefully during his enforced 4 game lay off he works hard on his finishing and movement. It doesn't sound like he played well against Doncaster. http://www.nufc.com/2016-17html/2016-07-20doncaster-a.html Quote Going behind failed to rouse United from the slumbers though, with Mitrovic particularly immobile and what attacking threat we showed coming down the right - left winger Rolando Aarons seeing little of the ball. Mitrovic's lumbering turn and low shot almost on the half time whistle summed up a pedestrian half for the white and purple clad visitors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
