He's scoring at the same rate Gayle did in the Championship (and Shola last time round) - good chance they're in that same category of strikers that are too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for the Prem.

Sad thing is Mitro would have eaten up those Gayle chances at the weekend in his current form :(

 

Not really like. Mitro has been guilty of missing more than his fair share of sitters for us. That's what kept letting him down.

Assuming Benitez stays we'll bring in one probably two new strikers and Gayle may stay too. Mitrovic is a non-issue for me. It's more just a question of how much we'll get for him in the summer.

 

Think Gayle will be off, if Mitrovic keeps this form up he will stay unless a £20m+ offer comes in

 

It'll be an interesting umber either way. I just can't see Mitrovic fitting in with how Benitez wants to play, he simply doesn't work hard enough. I've never been fussed about the lad at all and think he's all piss and wind but things can change obviously so we'll see.

think it was a fair assessment by many then; given a run in the team and a system that suits him he'll score goals

 

i think he'll be able to do in the PL, always have, but it won't be with us and rafa sadly...good luck to the lad, hope he gets a good move somewhere in the summer after a storming WC

Nice little build up play and finish from him there.

 

Didn’t see the first assist but his goal is everything that people doubted that he could do.

 

Assist was a weak header that was probably going wide, deflected off someone's back who knew nowt about it.

 

His goal was decent, though and he's been lively throughout.

 

The goal was a fairly tame shot which should have been saved tbh. I'm glad he's doing well, but some of these goals wouldn't happen in the Premier.

It will be interesting to see what we do on the striker front in the summer.  Could easily see us selling both Gayle and Mitrovic and getting two new strikers in.

 

I still can't see Rafa wanting to keep Mitro despite his goals, I just don't think he fits our style. Rafa will want a big striker who is more mobile I would think. Wonder what the odds are he will try to sign Slimani if he does well in the remaining games?

If we can get Slimani for around £15m I think the club would do it.

 

they'll never go for that fee imo, maybe structured with that as starting due to his fitness

 

+£20m easily for slimani and we'd be mental not to pay it as well if rafa rates him

Can't see Ashley agreeing to pay £20m for a striker who is pushing 30, but it's difficult to see who else is available who would offer the same threat as a lone striker.

Might go for Abraham and Kenedy from Chelsea, plus another striker. Gayle and Mitrovic out.

 

Wouldn't bother my arse with Abraham personally, would much rather we looked abroad or at least gave Mitrovic a run after a good development stint.
