Like Ayoze, the biggest plus of Mitrovic is that he's loving it here. He's the perfect striker for Newcastle as far as attitude goes, proud to wear the shirt rather than looking at us as a stepping stone.

Or Mitrovic and another centre forward, who's not Austin.

 

Austin has proved he will score goals. I'm very glad we signed Mitrovic but it shouldn't have been a 'one or the other' scenario.

 

I would have been happy with Mitrovic and Austin but probably happier with someone other than Austin, as they are similar.

 

As you say, we needed two.

This, I don't disagree about Mitrovic's all round play, but think Austin in the team would have got us a win before now, and hopefully by now Mitrovic might have displaced him and be as we are now. May not seem like a huge contribution for the cost of a player but we may not be staring at the abyss.

I don't see where Austin would fit in tbh, neither him or Mitrovic have much in the way of pace of guile.  Better off with Perez/Mitrovic.

 

Of course we may come unstuck with a few more injuries but we do have De Jong/Aarons/Thauvin to come in, in forward positions.

 

Priorities should have been a LB/CB/DM before another striker IMO.

I agree Perez/Mitrovic is better, just saying while Mitrovic was suspended and we weren't clicking in attack Austin would have poached some, could have turned a few of the draws into wins.

We'd have Austin instead of Cissé.

Again, taking the piss out of those saying around the Arsenal sending-off that we should have paid the additional £2-3m for Austin rather than Mitrovic.

 

This guy is class.
