Aleksandar Mitrović

[STM]

If he wasn't keen on other clubs I'd question his sanity.

 

Still think he's nailed on to come here. Far more likely that Anderlect are after a few more pennies from us. McClaren sounded positive about another two transfers.

[Dr Venkman]

Looks pretty good in the air, about time we had someone in our team we can say that about.

[Noodles]

Seems this one isn't as close as some media outlets would have us believe then?

 

I've a feeling that his agent is using us to draw out the bigger clubs.

[STM]

It's just the usual pre-transfer paranoia. Yes there is a chance he could be snapped up by a club with more to offer, still doesn't change the fact that he is likely to come here.

[Deckard 13]

We are never going to be the only club in for a player. It makes sense that he'd prefer to wait and see if someone else is interested. No one comes to Newcastle because they love the idea of playing for us, they come because the money will be better than the other options and they know we won't stand in their way when they want to leave.

[STM]

That and despite our owner we are actually a fantastic club, in a brilliant city, in the best league in the world.

[Yorkie]

Couldn't give a shite about the alleged egotistical cuntiness regarding wanting to come here or not. If he's good then he'll eventually be sold anyway. Get the mad bastard in. He seems interesting.

[STM]

He's 20, if he scores over 20 goals, next season he will be worth 30m in a years time. Mike Ashleytastic.

[Ikon]

20 years old Youngish! Done pretty much so far for his age.

[Chicken Dancer]

Sure on FM his favoured club was actually Newcastle on 14. Always wondered why.

[Guest palnese]

Training with Anderlecht today.

He wont fly out to anywhere before everything is decided more or less i imagine.

Can confirm that Newcastle is listed as a favoured club (supporter) in FM15

[KaKa]

If we're going to carryo on signing players of the calibre of both he and Wijnaldum, then we have a good chance of being back in Europe by next year.

 

I think if he does come he won't regret it. If he knows about the club and was a fan, once he gets in the door he will love it IMO. Get Shearer to welcome him too!

 

I respect his decision to wait to see if a European club comes through. That's certainly his right.

[Cronky]

Hmm.... perhaps he wants to come here for those sentimental reasons, but those around him - club, agent and pater - are trying to get him to opt for a mutually more lucrative step.

 

Ben Arfa all over again.

[Disco]

Hey up Cronky doesn't like him already, if ever there was more reason to hope he moves.

Naa, I'm not saying that. He looks like a talent, but it's a gamble with his temperament.

 

I'd assumed at first that it was the player that was messing us about, but that might not be the case.

what do you know about his temperament?

Well nothing for certain, just impressions. The nickname 'El Loco', problems with overweight, daft goal celebration, queries over workrate, generally seems a bit full of himself based on some clips.

 

Out of interest, did you question any of the posters earlier in this thread who described him as 'mad'?

should have stopped here tbh

 

as for the second part no i didn't but i didn't really notice those posts because they weren't against the entire grain of the thread in not wanting him because of his 'temperament' as you seem to be

[Unbelievable]

I'm not sure if I want him tbh, partly because of what I've read about his personality, but also because I don't think his record is all that impressive and neither are the Dennis Wise scouting vids I've seen. On top of that I can't really think of many Eastern European forwards who have done well in the PL, Dzeko aside. They seem a better fit to Italy in general somehow.

I've no idea myself, gut feeling is that paying the price for Austin would be a better option but since the days of Silvio Maric I've dreamed of a classy Eastern European in our team.

Balkan players have had great recent success in the PL; Dzeko, Vidic, Ivanovic, Modric, Matic, Begovic, Berbatov, Petrovs, Kolarov, Tadic etc just off top of my head. They only seem a better fit for Italy because many of the good ones have traditionally gone there due to closer cultural links and scouting networks.

[Ikon]

Can't say i'm convinced either tbh. A while ago i mentioned that it feels like there aren't THAT many quality strikers out there, while also being realistic options. Of course there's good players out there but somehow it feels like most are either not good enough or unrealistic. I struggle to come up with options of strikers that i'd really really want us to sign (that we can attract) Like the middle bracket that we could get.
