Aleksandar Mitrović

[Kanji]

We get Mitro back now, and I'm looking forward to him and Gayle playing together. We're going to be deadly with them.

[joeyt]

Be surprised if he starts on Saturday

[Figures 1-0 Football]

Rafa saying that Mitro 'gives us something different' suggests to me that he'll be an alternative to Gayle rather than playing alongside him.

 

Hope I'm wrong though.

[mickthemagpie]

Playing with or without Gayle he gives us something different.

[morla84]

Might play them both at home, then start with Gayle away and bring on Mitro to protect a lead, etc...

Suggests that he will give something different to the starting 11 for me.

 

Why persist with a bottler like Perez when it would be so natural to just slip Gayle behind Mitro.

Fuck that, play both away and smash teams. None of this looking not to lose first bollocks. Lets attack teams from the off and show we're better than them, not letting them get some steam up by sitting back.

[Kanji]

Play him and Gayle together for sure Mad bastard just said he'd die on the pitch for the team

Yep. Which isn't tough to figure out, to be honest. We've got nothing else like him in the squad.

Can't fault his passhun:

“I know what to do so I’ll try to be like Ronaldo or Messi and score 50 or 60 goals.

 

“If I have to I will die on the pitch for Newcastle.”

 

Mad buggar.

I wish players wouldn't say things like that tbh. 99.99% of them never live up to it. One instance of him not tracking back or pressing his man, and we'll be all over him for not trying.

I, for one, hope he does not live up to that

That's the part of that paragraph that he shouldn't be saying.

[Miercoles]

Well, he'd have to die up to it anyway eh?

[Sho Time]

Well we've got one human shield if ISIS decide to attack, at least.

[toon25]

Still though...nice to see the sentiment is there. Compare that to Sissoko, or indeed some of the other mercenary cunts wearing the shirt in recent years.

Assume Siem de Jong is the other 0.01%.

[Decky]

Give him 90 mins in the cup for a bit of fitness then start him at the weekend.

For some reason i really really like Mitrovic and i want him to succeed and fulfill his potential. He's a bit of a crazy bastard and a bit too hot headed at times. Not sure why i like him so much, maybe it's because he's quite a character and is so passionate. He really wants to be here, and he genuinely is desperate to stay and do well.

We've had so many players for the past years that haven't really given a shit about anything, especially not when things haven't worked out for us as a team or for them individually. This guy has always given his all at least. He has a lot to improve and his his finishing wasn't very good at all last season. But let's not forget that he had his first season in the PL, 21 years old, the same as twenty one! Thrown in straight away for a struggling team, no bedding in and starting his career under McMuppet.

 

Imagine going almost straight in to the starting 11 as young as 21. Think we forget at times how much pressure and weight there was on this kids shoulders, straight from the start, if not from the crowd, then probably on himself being desperate to prove what he can do. Didn't get much time to adapt/settle down.

Loved the bit from Rafa where he said that they're working and talking with him every day, trying to get him to be more calm and controlled. Just like Rafa said, most people think he's an experienced senior even though he's still just a kid. I really want him to succeed and i think a season in this division will do him good

[Guest neesy111]

Those sound bites are pathetic but many will lap them up as per usual.

Completely agree.

 

Now he is an experienced kid, and I'm sure he has learnt from that experience. Still shouldn't be expecting too much of him though. 15 goals will do for me.
