Guest neesy111 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just hoping some common sense will prevail. Mitro's career is dead here, he failed to be effective in the Championship and he's barely kicked a ball this season. Rafa doesn't rate him. £15m is perfect, let's take that, up our bid on Jorgensen and then use the rest of the money to add to whatever kitty and get some more players in. Hmmmm I'd say he was pretty effective when he played but rarely played due to the insistence on playing one up front. He scored 1 goal in 6 months and got dropped for Daryl Murphy. Awaiting Optimistic Nut's reply..... Exactly. Rafa knew he could't rely on Mitro to finish, the amount of times we were all frustrated at him missing quite straight forward chances was unacceptable. If he was effective he would have got way more game time, unless Madras thinks Rafa was a fool for not using him more. Pretty sure he complained most of last season for us not playing 442 all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed the game against Norwich when he came on, played in our best performance and just because I don't think 4-2-3-1 got the best out of the squad in that division and I still don't. I wouldn't have went 4-4-2 all the time, you'd be a bit of a mug to use the same tactics and formation against very opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Gayle has 18 goals in the PL. Edit not since Mitro arrived but he has more goals It's a bit unfair to judge Mitro's performance in the country before he actually arrived though, no?

hoppaz Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Its a bit unfair to say since Mitro arrived he has 10 goals but then not say since Gayle arrived in the same competition he has less when he actually has more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Mitrovic is still our best striker imo. I think it's clear now that Rafa has sidelined him because of his personality, not his footballing qualities. As a fellow Balkan thug, I suspect he might be too radge, he might set an unprofessional example or he might intimidate others somehow.. Whatever it is, we'll probably never know and he'll be gone in a week, so that everybody can move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh, ok, in the premiership then: Mitrovic = 1 goal every 4 games Gayle = 1 goal every 4.7 games Joselu = 1 goal every 5.3 games So yeah, Gayle has more goals, but he's played more games, so your point is moot.

Awaiting Optimistic Nut's reply..... How many games did he even start in those 6 months? He has the best scoring record in the PL out of all of our current strikers, he scores plenty for his national team whilst the other two wouldnt know what international football is, he started pre-season very well and has scored in his very few appearances this season. When he had a run in the side, he was very effective last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Sounds like we've made the second Brighton bid up to inflate the market. How would that work? If anything it would inflate the price of any striker we tried to buy like Jorgensen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was effective why did he get dropped for Murphy after filling in for Gayle (when he got injured and made a stupid comeback) after 3-4 games? Started 8 games FYI which is not enough, but I remember many on here saying Mitrovic was going to rip up the championship it was anything but. All of our strikers are shit tbh.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Some players just aren't fancied. He scored 4 in 4 days against Preston and was dropped. All fair game because Gayle was on fire but it didn't matter what he did on the pitch, he wasn't fancied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 His finishing has been suspect here and we need a good finisher in our current situation. He could have been used more from the bench but he really isn't the answer to our striking problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If you want to make that "goals per 90 minutes" comparison accurate you should add in all the games he's missed through a suspension. 10 games I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
