Happinesstan Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Graham Courtney was on Talkshite this morning and said that the situation regarding Mitro is completely untenable. Rafa considers him a bad influence and a liability and wants him out of the club ASAP. Courtney said he wouldn’t be surprised if the club just tear up his contract to get him out of the club. Obviously we know that last bit won’t happen but as long as Rafa is here, Mitro will be nothing more than a last hurrah if we’re losing with 10 minutes to go. The sooner people get their heads around that the better. If that is true then Rafa has spent £5million on Joselu, simply to force Mitrovic out. Given Rafa'sopinion on £5mill strikers, that is very questionable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Cutting your nose to spite your own face that like, mind you it's not as if Mitro has pulled up any trees, probably used more we might have had few more points. Then again with his brain maybe a few less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Rafa'sopinion on £5mill strikers, that is very questionable. Well if he considers him a liability and a bad influence, why wouldn't he buy Joselu for £5m? It's not like he could go out and spend £30m on a striker he actually rated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 We might still be in a similar sitution even if he had been playing, but for me he is a much better player than Joselu even if he is completely mental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa's not the type to cut his nose off to spite his face as some are suggesting, I can only assume that Mitro is rocking the boat and that's why he's being kept away from the core squad.

The sooner people get their heads around that the better. Courtney was slagging Joselu off yesterday as well at half time, I was honestly surprised when I watched the extended highlights on Sky to see he actually did some really good link up work, and lead the line pretty well apart from offering no goal threat at all....which I think we have to accept as a given. If he scored goals he wouldn't cost £5m. That Courtney is an absolute wanker mind, knows next to nowt about the club and is always really negative about us. FWIW, I thought Joselu was okay yesterday, would have taken Gayle off ahead of him in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a gobshite then, and his views are pretty much stuck in a time warp like the brigade he used to share comments with, like John Anderson and Bob Concur. He's worse actually because he thinks he's a real fountain of football knowledge when he's actually clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such thing as a 15Mil striker. Rafa either sees him as a 20mil striker and is selling him cheap, or he's a 10mill striker and is getting a good price.
