Unbelievable Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sorry, meant to say forwards. Berbatov is another good example however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 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. Ings on a free was the one I wanted most, but I agree there don't seem to be many standout candidates in our range. Austin is best of the rest for me.

STM Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Think the 11m for Mitrovic is a decent gamble to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 At the risk of sounding like Ronaldo, but a one in two record in Belgium isn't really all that impressive. Plus the guy looks like he would be worthless without proper service from wide areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Lukaku, Benteke and Bacca had similar records and they've done alright. Belgian league is better than the Eredivisie these days innit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He's highly rated, young, and has the physical attributes to succeed here. There's always a risk, but with interest from the likes of Porto he must have something about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think I'd rather gamble on mitrovic than Austin personally. Not a massive fan of Austin - strikes me as a fairly limited striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaron Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Stll at training with Anderlecht but maybe it last one according to this http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/1284/Anderlecht/article/detail/2392182/2015/07/11/Mitrovic-nog-steeds-op-Anderlecht-kamp.dhtml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Those other clubs like Porto and Roma aren't prioritising him at all. He should come over. Happy to hear he at least had a love for the club as a youngster. He'll love it once he comes over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sky Italia says he's agreed terms with us. Can you find a source for that? Because some say he hasn't, some say he has. Sorry, jumped the gun there. Saw loads of tweets about it but as you say there are people saying the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 From the one video i have seen i think he can be a success in the PL, but we definitely need to improve our delivery from wide positions. It's standard shit but we can't do it to save our lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If he comes here he'll be a club legend inside twelve months. Based on nothing at all apart from 6 cans of cider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If he comes here he'll be a club legend inside twelve months. Based on nothing at all apart from 6 cans of cider. Hmmm.

Guest chicken little Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 wijnaldum and mitrovic were both top for my nufc team on fm2014, for that reason only i'm frothing at the gash over the potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 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 Did I say I didn't want him? I only said he was a gamble. For the record, on the limited knowledge I have, I'd take the gamble. In our position, we can't avoid the occasional risk and the atmosphere around the Premiership might motivate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 His family has arrived in newcastle and he is set to sign a 5 year deal according to the mirror. Also says we still want Austin and Thauvin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 His family has arrived in newcastle and he is set to sign a 5 year deal according to the mirror. Also says we still want Austin and Thauvin. Well, it was not in doubt that he would sign. Bad vibes were coming from the agent. He seemed he didnt want to wait for other clubs to make an offer. Hoping to get good news on this deal soon.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Mitrovic & Austin in a Shearer/Ferdinand style partnership? Doubt we'd ever sign both to only start with one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also says we still want Austin and Thauvin. As much as i want to believe it, i'd say the Austin part discredits the report. Not a chance in hell we are spending nearly 30m on two strikers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
