Altamullan Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Like many, I can’t help liking Mitro. I also think he has potential to improve and could play in the Premier League, in a different formation, with a different brief/freer role. More controversially I have no problem selling him to a relegation rival. Happy to back our manager’s view, which he himself obviously has to live or die by. He doesn’t think Mitro can offer anything, then sell him. We’ll get far more from a PL club, and can’t see many/any of the ten being interested.

Fair comment tbh. Depends really. The thing with Mitro is that it’s more a manager’s preference than a lack of ability. By a lot of measures he’s no worse than the players who are getting regular games for us. Sometimes signing a player who hasn’t been given a chance elsewhere is worth a go.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 On 23/01/2018 at 20:43, a random player who doesn't even play for us any more said: Don't really want to sell him to a rival but if he needs to be sold to get Slimani or whoever then just do it. He's no good rotting on the bench. What has Slimani done in this league to show he’d do any better than what we’ve got in Mitro? Especially when he would undoubtedly be more expensive. Selling Mitro to WBA or Brighton or any other club in a relegation battle, at any price other than somethinf extraordinary, would be fucking tragic.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I don’t rate the lad, but we can’t be selling him to a rival down at the bottom like because hes’ capable of getting a goal or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's strange this like. Spend most of the season saying how certain players aren't good enough yet soon as they're linked away, "Oh, don't sell him to them just in case". We have a squad of 25, only way we'll improve is if we get rid of some of these and buy players Benitez feels is better for us. If that means selling to someone in a similar position to us then we should live or die by that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 How much do you think he’s worth? I reckon 10m would be good money for him personally. He’s someone capable of getting a max of 10 PL goals which should make him worth more, but he’s very restricted ability wise and he’s a radge packet as well.

Ashley would pull the plug in between the two deals. Once Mitrovic is sold He'll decide Slimani isn't actually worth it. But yeah. If it's a choice between a new striker who might do something and an old striker who won't get his boots dirty, it's a no-brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
