triggs Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Some players are just more suited to international football. Harry Kane for example is a much better player obviously but hadn't scored for England in over a year before Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 If Mitrovic had scored goals for us in a much inferior division then I'd be more inclined to keep him but he only scored 1 goal in 7 months for us. That's an appalling statistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'd love Mitro to come good but there's too much going against him now - he's got a massive 50p head, he can't jump more than a few inches off the ground and he doesn't fit into Rafa's system. I can't see any other outcome than him plying his trade somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 In the last two years he's scored 7 goals in 10 internationals. Using Shearer's international record as an example (though among many reasons why this is an unfair comparison, 'Al S' didn't get his first cap until he was 22; 'Al M' is still 22) 'Al S' scored 5 goals in 13 appearances (1992-94). No not saying he is even in the same league; but you can only judge on what you see and absence of evidence (for quality) isn't evidence of absence. If he truly is Misstrovic how come he scores international goals? Stupid argument. Newcastle don't play International football. David Healy had a really good goalscoring record at International Level. Didn't mean a thing at club level though where he was useless. Wasn't an argument, stupid or otherwise. It was an observation. Not playing to his strengths, quality of opposition (France?) seem reasonable reasons for the difference. Plus football is such a confidence game, that even the impact of not being 'the main man' knowing that you are relied upon/believed in can have an impact. That said, many have seen enough of his game (self included), of his strengths/needs, to conclude he is not a RB type player, or for some even good enough 'as is' for the Premier League. I just think it is curious to see a record compared to another perceived to be impeccable record, at a certain age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymc1 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I don't think anyone can argue against there being some talent there, we've seen pieces of it over the last 2 seasons and regularly see it for Serbia. However, he is never going to realise his potential at NUFC under Rafa. That much is clear and we should be looking to offload this window. I like Mitro in that he's clearly a trier and he seems to care unlike some we've had in the past, but it's time for him to go and perform well elsewhere like Jon Dahl Tomasson did all those years ago. Then we can come on this thread and say we should never have got rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm not a fan of his but I think he'd be a decent 3rd or 4th choice striker option. He's got a good few years left on his contract so unless we get a great offer for him i'd rather see us keep him for now. We could end up with a lot worse (See Xisco, Kuqi, Ferrerya, Doumbia, Ranger etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Can someone with the ability change the poll to keep or sell? There's talk of Lyon being interested in buying him for around £15m. I'd sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'd keep purely for the fact I think we'll only bring in one striker no matter if he stays or goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Even if we struggle to buy a new striker I think there'll be plenty available for loan near the end of the window. It's the World Cup next Summer and players who want to go have to make sure they are playing regularly this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
