Aye, usually don't mind Alex as he has decent patter and isn't an utter twat, but that statement was absurd. Because Colback apparently has "PL experience". Utter garbage.

They have a weird soft spot for Colback, otherwise they have decent opinions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Selling him to a relegation rival would be fucking daft. Aye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Selling him to a relegation rival would be f***ing daft. Aye. I guess that depends on who we can bring in to replace him. For example, if we sell Mitrovic and bring Sturridge in on loan, i'd say that's probably good business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably go as far as saying that if we got him we definitely won't go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham would be the best place to sell him (from our perspective, not his) considering how shite strikers always turn out to be when they go there.

TRon Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I don't know how anybody can compare Colback to Mitrovic. Mitro's scoring goals for Serbia so there's at least some reason to believe he could provide goals which we have struggled with. What would Colback bring us?

The only similarity is that Rafa doesn't rate either so they might as well be sold. The Mitrovic situation is sad for us fans because I think we'd all liked to have seen him do well, but if he hasn't started doing what Rafa wants him to do after a season and a half, I guess he deserves everything he gets.

TBH, Rafa never said why Mitrovic didn't play. It's always "gayle this, Joselu that" and never "Mitrovic doesn't this and that" which I think is annoying and frustrating. When asked why didn't he bring Mitrovic on the pitch, Rafa always says "It was moment for this or that" although sometimes it was obvious that it was moment for Mitrovic.

I don't rate Mitro either tbh, we went down when he was our main striker, and his finishing was poor. But he's young and arguably improving, and scoring goals for Serbia, so I think he should be playing ahead of Joselu. Colback is not fit for purpose at this level, probably not the championship either. If we put both up for sale, there's only one who'll end up at a premier club.

Happinesstan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Mitrovic would have turned out to be a great signing, if he hadn't been given the task of being our main striker at such a young age. He should have been a backup/alternative, and been allowed to enjoy playing football. Similar price to Murphy, maybe a bit more given the relative markets, but still... This is why I fucking hate Ashley to be honest. His transfer policy would be brilliant, if only we had a first team in front of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that don’t I rate Mitro, I do but we know how methodical Rafa is. The reason certain players play is because Rafa knows he can trust them to carry out his instructions. Those that can’t don’t play, simple as - Mitro, Mbemba, Aarons and possibly now, Shelvey. I think it’s safe to assume that Mitro isn’t doing what Rafa wants him to do, therefore Rafa doesn’t trust him and won’t put him in the team. If he’s still not doing it after a year and a half he’s either really thick or deliberately rebelling. I don’t think there’s any question he’s a more talented striker than Joselu but Rafa trusts Joselu to play the way he wants him to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Selling him to a relegation rival would be fucking daft. Aye. He isn't very good, it's not like he's any better than Carroll, and it would enable us to get someone better. Wouldn't really be arsed who he went to tbh, we just need him out and £££ in.
