LionOfGosforth Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Can't imagine us getting any better striker in at the moment than him. Realistically, even with the money from his sale, there aren't anyone we would get. Better just keep him. Even though I don't rate him, I probably agree with you. Would genuinely love to know why people don’t rate him. Young forward, superb in the air, bangs in goals in every team he’s played for. What’s not to like? Maybe missing a bit of tactical discipline? In a young lad, surely that can be taught? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 We should be sat watching this game, proud that one of our young players is making his mark at the world cup now and looking forward to him doing the same this coming season. Instead, we're contemplating how much we can get for him (that we won't fucking spend anyway) and wondering what bargain basement hopeless prick we'll "replace" him with. Mad.

In a young lad, surely that can be taught? Because we've rarely seen this kind of form/finishing from him in a black and white shirt, people seem to forget how poor he was for us in the Chamionship. That said, would definitely like to see him given another chance here, as let's face it, we'll not be spending £20m plus on a striker anytime soon.

I honestly think that's because he's never been given enough consistent opportunities. Anecdotally, he only ever seemed to get 4-5 games before one poor performance or a daft booking landed him on the bench to not be seen for months. I think he only actually started something like 11 games in the Championship. I also think people seem to forget he was only 21 or something when he arrived but expected to solve all our forward problems in a useless Mclaren team. Hiding to nothing and he did more than ok. Seems to me, he's been given the shortest rope of any player in recent memory, by many fans and manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Fair play to him, I've never been arsed about selling him but the point about how much we'd have to pay to get a striker of his recent record is a good one. If we were sat here talking about him being on loan in the Championship from another club and scoring loads, then getting a goal in the World Cup not one of us would entertain the possibility of Ashley allowing us to buy him.

Guest Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The week he scored 4 against Preston, he was dropped the next game. Was hard for him to get a run of games and play with confidence knowing you’d be out of the side no matter what he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The lad is doing well - perhaps Rafa will decide to take another look at him, after the WC -particularly as his game seems to be maturing a bit. That said, if it's not to be - got to trust the manager on this one. Panel on MotD singing his praises, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I am worried he'll turn out great one day if he leaves. Think he has the talent and needs his head coached.

He's a bit daft if he thinks Joselu brings more to the team and he's even dafter if he thinks he'll get someone in (with the clubs restrictions) as good as Mitrovic. We'll be worse off when we sell him, no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not sure why everyone is so convinced Rafa won't take another look. The two were reasonably complementary about each other when he went out on loan, weren't they? There wasn't any animosity as I recall, it was just about game time. That said, if we have to sell to buy then we have to assume Rafa believes he can get someone better or more suitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
