Dr.Spaceman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Can't believe how often this debate comes round. He'll be playing in a shit Fulham team next season, might score 10 goals as they get relegated and people will be hanging out the back of him again when he hits another 30 goals in the Championship. He's in that bracket of player (like Shola in his prime, Gayle, Knockaert and countless others) who are excellent Championship players but lack something to be considered a good PL player. No, he is not good enough for us. Edited April 20, 2022 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Mitrovic, like with any traditional style of CF, it’s all about who plays alongside him or off him. He needs that Bellamy type if you like. In the PL anyway. Again Toney can do the traditional CF role, but can spin and beat you or peel away onto runs and balls. Much harder to defend against. Abraham is so good at that, he’d be the one for me. I’d go all out for him in the summer, again proven at every level, home, abroad and at international level. He’s got that balsy type of attitude too you want in a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Championship is not the greatest test of a player, the fact he has scored 40 goals alone, proves that. He’s tearing it up, but in the PL he’s looked like just another ordinary CF, no different to Wood for example… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just now, ManDoon said: Goals wise for sure but his hold up play was miles better, and his movement. To be fair I hardly took notice of him after he left us and again, I don’t think he got a fair chance here under Rafa at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I reckon he’d smash it in La Liga or Germany for example. He’d also have to take a massive drop in wages though. If he keeps himself fit next season he’ll still get 8-12 goals for Fulham but there has to be a time soon where he gets sick of yo-yoing between the two leagues.

Conjo Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 If he can manage up to 12 goals for Fulham next season that would be a great achievement. That's maybe enough to be among the top 10 goal scorers this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should go to the Italian league. Can't believe no Serie A teams have come in for him. He would be a monster over there IMO. The slower pace of the league would suit him to a tee, and the defensive philosophies over there tend to be more about sitting deep and/or keeping shape, and so he won't have to press as much.

christ Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Quote “It didn’t work out but that doesn’t mean I didn’t stay in a good relationship with the club and everyone there,” he says. “I was young. I played under a manager who had a defensive style of football. But I never had any problem with the club or the fans. They loved me there. They respected the way I played and they knew I gave everything for the club. I have only the best possible words for everyone at Newcastle.” It can be unusual to hear a footballer talk this way about a club where he has often felt overlooked and underused. But if Mitrovic sounds like a fan, that is because it is exactly what he is. “After six months at Newcastle, you find out that everyone has had the same seat for 10 years or maybe even longer. You go out to warm up and recognise everybody in the front row. ‘How are you, my friend?’. I’d speak to people and they’d say, ‘It used to be my grandad going to matches here, next it will be my kids’. “They live for football, you know? They live for the weekend to see their team. When friends in Serbia ask me about England, I tell them about Newcastle because football is like a religion to these people. “They gave me the chance to play in the Premier League, aged 20. It’s a massive club and I still support them. Everything that’s happened there, with the new owner and all the money, it’s fully deserved for the fans. They are the best in England, maybe in the world.” https://theathletic.com/4087929/2023/01/15/aleksandar-mitrovic-fulham-newcastle-exclusive/?source=user_shared_article Edited January 15, 2023 by christ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Love Mitro , he’s an animal Just hasn’t got the movement /pace to be top top player. He will always score goals with the right service Hope he has a stinker today though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Never stopped loving Mitro to be honest. I never bought the lazy opinion some had that he couldn’t do it in the Premier League given how young he was. It’ll never happen but I’d love to see him under Howe given how high we press. Pressing from the low block under Rafa certainly didn’t work for him but winning the ball higher up the pitch could. I hope he’s absolutely shite today Edited January 15, 2023 by St1pe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he’ll still go on like he did against Villa earlier this season when he got Luiz(?) sent off in Gerrard’s last game. That in particular is difficult to champion. It’s a funny one really cos I’m all for Wilson being a massive shithouse, constantly winding defenders up, I suppose partly in an effort to get them sent off, but he seems to be able to do it in a way that makes you laugh rather than wince.

A massive plus though is that he’s been available for 15 out of 18 games this season for Fulham and all of last season for them - that’s what we also need, availability and the confidence they’ll score given a few chances. for me - as a squad striker I’d upgrade wood for him all day.
