Guest neesy111 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 If his replacement is fucking Rolan I'd definitely rather keep him. This. 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. 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. 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.

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...
Guest Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 In all honesty I think he was probably confused by Steve McClaren's voodoo mumbo jumbo mind management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I like him but with Ronaldo. He's never a Benitez striker. 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...
Happinesstan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I like him but with Ronaldo. He's never a Benitez striker. He doesn't complement Rafa's system, but let's be honest, we don't have the quality in any position to suit Rafa's system. It goes without saying that we will struggle at times this season. Mitro is a great one to have on the bench to change things up a little. Unless we can get better for the same price I'd keep him for this year.

Pilko 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. And yet he's shown about ten times as much end product as Mitrovic has. Even Perez having a "poor" season last year, he contributed far and away more.

M4 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 He has already developed slightly by cutting out the ridiculous red and yellow cards. I like Mitro, but the cynic in me would say that is mainly to do with the team not being on the back foot, chasing games or being under pressure as much. We'll soon find out this season.

Not going to argue that at all, but I can easily believe we've seen the best Perez has to offer us. I really hope I'm wrong like, but I don't think he'll give us much in the Premier League. I may as well go all in and say 'lacks bottle' - Tim Flowers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Of course Perez contributed more last season ffs Perez - 2292 minutes Mitro - 1122 minutes Perez was also given the opportunity to play through his 'bad runs' and spent less time injured.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I don't think either Ayoze or Mitro will ever be consistently good PL players, but we can't sell everyone. I probably rate Mitro's potential higher than most people, I don't think he's a bad player. Sell if we're getting someone better, but that's a slightly silly thing to say since it applies to every player ever. We do have a difficult job on to sign a forward who is good enough to have an impact but happy enough to be second choice to Gayle. Unless we go big on a number one, which I don't think we will.

I don't think we will either, and I'm not sure Gayle would be as prepared to be the second choice. He's been patient throughout his career and waited for his chance. And when his chance came he has taken it. He has earned the right to be our first choice next season. His injury proneness means we need an adequate replacement though, and I don't think Mitro is that. I see Mitro as another option, rather than a back up.

mighty__mag Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thing with Mitrovic. He scored 9 in his debut season. In the past we have raved about players who have perhaps only done a tad more. I think with him,most of us note the amount of missed chances or simple chances he wastes. Since our last promotion, players best seasons. Ba 16 Remy 14 Nolan 12 Carroll 11 Cisse 11 Mitrovic 9 Ayoze 7 Its not that terrible, if he could put away the chances he wastes he could have improved that record.

Odear Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Still hope he stays. Unless we bring some truly class player in who will guarantee 20+ goals in a season. If he plays enough he will score his share. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
