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.

 

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think it is a good idea to strengthen our rivals

The exact point I'm making is that he wouldn't strengthen them, but by leaving would enable us to strengthen ourselves.

 

Nah. Mitrovic is not Ameobi man. He can do a job.  We just don't use him due to Rafa.

He's a shitload more effective than an injured Andy Carroll. And he's injured 75% of the time.

When can Mitro do a job, he never has for us. :lol:

 

The times he's been given a chance, he's thrown in back in Rafa's face.

 

Zero red cards last year, what are you talking about?

 

Fuck me, we are genuinely ignoring retrospective bans now because it's Mitrovic? :lol:

Off you pop. :thup:

 

Why are you doing this? I'm a Newcastle fan, there's no need to be rude. This is the second time you comment things like that against me for no reason. I do like Mitrovic, but why do you always attack me for no reason? If he leaves, I'm going to survive that. Nobody is bigger than the club, so I really don't care who plays for us as long as we are at PL. Since you're a God of this forum, I'll never comment again if that makes you happy.

Getting a 15min cameo v West Ham as third choice striker isn't really a chance. Chance is when you are first choice striker during pre-season, then you play 3-4 games in PL. Being benched by unfit Gayle and after that by Joselu in his first game ever for nufc is not called 'chance', it's called 'You aren't in my plans, idc about you'.

Hes managed a higher tally in his one full premier league season than any other striker we have on the books and didn't get a fair chance, still don't understand it, best we just get him sold and use the money for a striker Rafa will actually give the time of day to.

 

I really don't think that someone will pay the amount of money we want and Newcastle won't send him on loan. I have a feeling that if he isn't sold, he'll request transfer.
