Aleksandar Mitrović

[Optimistic Nut]

We'd have been better off just not spending £5m on Joselu at all because he'd have been playing more.

Just to preempt all the usual moaning:

Not willing to carry the rest of the team on it?

[Dr.Spaceman]

I wouldn't say the same about Colback because he's a completely ineffective turd.

 

Mitro is completely inneffective though. He's utter wank.

Not willing to carry the rest of the team on it?

 

or it could be the effect of Mitro's own fitness staff's training? (Not that I necessarily believe those recent whispers.)

You're saying that Mitro's working on his fitness level? No way

[Dave]

Still injured.

[Twinport53]

"Injured"

[Kimbo]

I don't really believe in the injury. I can see him being shipped off to somewhere like Olympiakos on loan.

[xLiaaamx]

We can't afford to loan out players we need fees

[Kimbo]

I think Rafa will just want him out, and clubs will know they don’t have to stump up money to get him. Plus the teams that will want him probably won’t have much money anyway.

[loki679]

Real shame this one.  He hasn't done too badly for us given the chance but Rafa clearly doesn't fancy him and I can see him being shipped out sooner rather than later.

 

I think there's definitely a player there, can see him moving on and oing very well but it's pretty clear he's got no future here.

[samptime29]

Doubt he's injured like.

 

It's Rafa decision and regardless of my thoughts, have to accept this decision.

 

It's a real shame though. Wish him well in January at his new club.

Mitrovic back according to the Sky ticker

Mitrovic back according to the Sky ticker

 

Yes and no.

[Heron]

Wouldn't surprise me if he was used tomorrow, if not to start, later in the game. If Rafa wants rid then it's an opportunity to put him in the shop window. We don't have the squad to play the same team all season and as has been seen sometimes the players left out in he cold can come in and do a job if they're motivated. Think he'd be a handful if he was fired up. The problem is I'd see him being a potential liability again which works against him from a discipline point of view, which means Rafa might not want to is playing with 10men...

[Altamullan]

A brace for the mad bastard, followed by Ketsbaia-esque celebrations, but this time at the Gallowgate end.

[Offshore]

Flew out of Newcastle this afternoon, think it's safe to take him out of your fantasy football team........

[Guest chopey]

Bare chested on the back of an eagle never to be seen again

[Si]

The eagle is now dead.

The Ketsbaia celebrations/radginess were at the Gallowgate end weren't they ?

Remember what Rafa said about 5mil striker, 10mil, 15, 20... If that's what he thinks, why is he asking for Mitrovic 10-15 mil and keeping Joselu? Wouldn't it be more logical if he asks < 5mil for Mitro? Crazy situation... but I guess that's just another day in Newcastle under Ashley.

[Guest neesy111]

No.

It doesn’t mean Rafa doesn’t rate him as a player, it just means he feels Mitro is incapable of following his Instructions and playing to his system. That’s why Joselu gets game time and Mitro doesn’t.
