Aleksandar Mitrović

Sad to see him go. Best of luck, big man.

[Guest neesy111]

Good riddance.

Freeing up funds for a move for Slimani..

[LV]

He’s going to do a Jon Dahl Tomasson isn’t he.

[sempuki]

12m to WBA and he keeps them up 

I wonder how much we could get with the "January premium. £15m?

[Deuce]

We better have a replacement lined up

 

[Vivian Darkbloom]

He'll do well in the SPL.

[Deuce]

I wish him well, really want him to succeed. Best for both parties if he moves on.

Think that only works if you actually want to keep the player

[Dave]

If we go with just Joselu and Gayle for the rest of the season then this is ridiculous.

 

Hahahahaha

[triggs]

On Mitro himself, I never really like players who go out of their way to show how passionate they are or how much they care. If he really cared he'd do what Rafa wants him to do. Should have a decent career in a smaller league or maybe in a bigger league if he grows up a bit

Thing is there's nothing to say Slimani will be better than Mitrovic, we just have to hope his replacement hits the ground running for some reason.

[Collage]

I believed in him but it’s been evident for some time now that it won’t work out for him here. Best for all parties that he leaves.

[Alberto2005]

Don't care. Bye.

You don't like Jamaal either?

[Beren]

Good for all parties.

[nemtizz]

If only he was more like Joselu.

I was thinking the same. Strange comment.

[samptime29]

Personally, don't feel Mitro's been given a fair chance this season, but we have to accept Rafa's decision on this one. He's the manager.

 

I wish him well in the future.

Lascelles backs up his words and actions with his performances

So to be passionate you also have to be performing well, otherwise passion is worth nothing/or is falsified in your eyes?

 

Seems a strange way to look at it.

Mitro doesn't do what Rafa tells him to do on the pitch. If he cared as much as he says, he would do anything to get on the pitch so I do think his passion is false to a certain extent, yes

[Robster]

"If he really cared he'd do what Rafa wants him to do". Surely this is the important quote.

 

It does appear that Mitro hasn't been applying himself in training enough to make Rafa feel that he warrants a place in the team.

It's been mentioned before but it was said by a journo that Mitro had beefed up too much for Rafa's liking and had got 2 of his own personal trainers which also didn't go down very well.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Another player simply not good enough. There is a decent argument he hasn’t exactly had the opportunities under Rafa mind, but in general he’s not good enough and never will be.

Fair enough, although in my opinion that's not a fair way to measure whether someone's passion is genuine or not. And also what you're saying isn't exactly factual and more speculation. Rafa might just prefer his other options and it may be more out of Mitrovic's hands than what you think. Don't think you can say for certain that Mitrovic's displays of passion are any less real than Lascelles'.
