toontownman Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 “Rafa can have all the money the club can generate through sales and other means”. Seem to remember a chubby c*** saying this in the summer. Got a sneaky feeling it might be a bit of a porky. As fun as it is to rehash things Ashley or the club have said in the past it's the most pointless thing ever really. Like pushing water up a hill. But what if your house is on top of the hill.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Don't believe they've doubled the bid but it's a yes from me if it's immediately reinvested and a no if it's not. So it's a no from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 So if we got £15m for Mitro, does that get added to the £15m we already seem to have available for a new striker? £30m available for a striker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably looking at around £11m that could be reinvested which we all know wouldn't be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 In this window now, as it stands, I wouldn't accept until we had a striker over the line into the club, which won't happen I suspect so I wouldn't sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? As it stands, he never even makes the bench despite us being chronically goal shy. I'd hazard a guess that Rafa rates Ted Striker more than he does Mitrovic the striker.

He's barely had a chance this year and I think he'd probably score 1 or 2 important goals that might just keep them up. Meanwhile we'd have money in the bank and no one up top scoring. Just wouldn't bode well, especially with our luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If we don't sell, then we probably don't buy so we have to decide whether we want to improve our own chances of scoring goals and winning games, or simply avoid, possibly, helping one of our rivals. We have to forget about what Mitro might do, and concentrate on trying to improve our squad. What Mitro will probably do, is get sent off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It'll take more than Locadia and Mitrovic to keep Brighton up, like. Is Locadia the big long haired forward who played for them this weekend? he looked a handful tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought that we'd be signing no one on the back of keeping Mitro based on his age and 'potential'. But there's no way even Ashley would dare sell him without bringing in a replacement considering the whole world knows we have needed a striker desperately since the summer.

Just mucking about mate it's the if we sell bit, i think we could sell and not replace Mitro in a heartbeat. Ashley can give it 'I'm prepared to spend what it takes' Nah, ten years of it shows us it's pure bullshit and bluster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made that comment there on the wild assumption that we act like a football club. You are correct to suggest Ashley could easily sell him and then just do nothing with the money. It would surprise no one. However, I think we 100% won't buy anyone if we don't sell him. It's 50/50 that we will reinvest the money if we do.
