LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Just the thought of him wasting chance after chance makes me want to sell him and go with the mystery option. If we end up having to rely on Mitrović to score goals for us we're going to be relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Seen enough to realise he will never improve, will be better out there for the money we fetch for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Meh I'd keep just because there's at least 10 c***s I'd rather shift first. This. He has to stay in good shape though, and remain focused mentally. I wouldn't sell unless we got a ready and proven replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'd sell him without hesitation. There's very little reason to keep a striker whose only redeeming feature seems to be sometimes holding it up well. That's almost on par with Riviere in terms of useful attributes imo. We'd have to do pretty badly in the transfer market to not improve upon him with the same money available and Rafa choosing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Sell this washed up 22 year old. SELL HIM! He'll be 23 in September. Rubbish. Boo. Get rid. Hiss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 That's all well and good, but we can't afford the age excuse. We were relegated during his development last time, and he hasn't improved since. If it ends up clicking with him then fair enough, but I'd happily let it happen elsewhere, rather than take that risk based on very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I love the mad bastard but sell him to someone in France or abroad and get someone in who's going to fire in goals for us in Rafa's system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Keep him, we will be looking for a young striker with his qualities if he goes anyway, plus he loves us and we love him, no point in selling at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 That's all well and good, but we can't afford the age excuse.

If it ends up clicking with him then fair enough, but I'd happily let it happen elsewhere, rather than take that risk based on very little. What development? He was never afforded any time to develop, he came in as one for the future and within weeks he was given the responsibility of being the man that would get us the premiership goals we needed to survive. You might say that with a 12million price tag, we should expect him to be up to it, but then you remember that 22 years ago we spent £15 million on the man for that job.

If it ends up clicking with him then fair enough, but I'd happily let it happen elsewhere, rather than take that risk based on very little. I understand this, but I don't understand it at the same time. He's not our main striker, he's young and developing, yet people are giving up after two seasons? His hold up play is decent, he's in the right places to get chances at goal but is let down by his finishing at the moment. It's not as if he's totally useless. Who would you want within the team to take his place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 He has already developed slightly by cutting out the ridiculous red and yellow cards. Don't see any harm keeping him for another year or two and see if he develops further, especially when the potential replacement is Rolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Having four strikers in the same mould as Gayle would be useless, you need different options - Rafa knows that and will keep a big Mitro type around in some capacity so he can change it if needed (see Norwich, home).

Guest Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The one I'd sell would be Perez, you'd get the most money for him, he flatters to deceive and is easily marked out of a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
