triggs Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Snap their hands off. Throw it and whatever other funds we have at a striker. Jørgensen or whoever Rafa wants. We’ll sign Jorgensen with money that was supposedly already available and the £15m for Mitro will disappear into fresh air. Mitrovic won't play for us ever again unless Gayle and Joselu get injured at the same time. What's the point in keeping him? He won't be played, regardless of how good or shit people think he is. I'd rather we have someone who Rafa wants and will actually play. This is a perfectly feasible scenario though...? Still think Perez would be used then tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Given his contribution is zero, it's basically a £15m windfall without any damage to the first XI. I know it's strengthening a rival but if they don't buy him they'll buy someone else so they're going to strengthen regardless. Just fucking sick we won't put another 15m with it and get a proper striker for 30m. Perfectly capable of doing it but they absolutely refuse to do do. yepyepyep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the lone role and tactical approach our strikers have, it's unlikely they'll get injured during games. Gayle's muscles might explode again, like.

number9shirt Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 £15m.... SELL HIM. I was his biggest fan i really thought he would go to the top of the game, it's a shame the way it turned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 £15m windfall is fucking pointless. We have a player with a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny chance of doing something useful for us. That > £15m in Mike's pocket & our rival getting a new striker. Yep. The key part is that this £15m wont be reinvested. We’ll sign the 3 players we were always going to (Kenedy, Jorgensen, GK) and the £15m we’ve got for Mitro will not be spent. So all we would do is strengthen a rival. If we bought those 3 players and more (or even invested the £15m on a £30m striker) then it’d be worth selling him, but the history tells us that we definitely wont be doing that and the £15m will be spent down Mike’s local.

sempuki Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Brighton spending £30mil on strikers to keep them up then. Sovereign State of Seagulls. Fair play to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Would be more bothered about Brighton getting a player who will score goals in the Prem for them than us losing him tbh. Can see us selling if £15m is true though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their problem is scoring, even more so than us, they've only scored 17 to our 22. Add more goals to their game and I don't see a problem for them. Wouldnt say "comfortable", but the last thing we need is to strengthen a direct rival imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If true sell, and put the money towards a new number 10 as well as Jorgensen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad form which, if they don't arrest for the next 3 or 4 decent fixtures, will turn nasty because their games get bad. Not a particularly high standard of striker either, as much as I like Mitrovic.

SEMTEX Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Mitro @ NUFC or Mitro @ Brighton That is the only relevant part to this transfer. The money is meaningless. If you think he's so shit that he'd actively cause issues at Brighton, then I can see why you'd want to sell. Otherwise, I see absolutely zero reason to part with him. Or anyone else.

Dave Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This can't be right. If they were prepared to go to £15m why not just ask us the selling price in the first place instead of f***ing about with a bid half of what we want? But aye, this would just fund the new striker. Sky will be sucking Ashley off and ignore the fact all the TV money and previous income has miraculously disappeared once again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it’s more about wages more than the actual fee to buy a player that holds us back these days. Oh and if true, 15m, it’s a no brainier.

Tsunami Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If we’ve been offered £15M he’ll be off. Rafa won’t play him so we’ve got to take the best price going. He’s so far down the pecking order losing him will make no difference to the squad as it is. Hopefully we can get shod of Colback as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bit I agree with like I said. Goals is what they're missing, no need for us to aid them in getting them. We know Mitro will score in this league even though he's not a Rafa "type" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
