Aleksandar Mitrović

[mighty__mag]

He was decent tonight. Those saying perez played well, he had two freak goals, one i think was more Clarks goal than his. Mitro played equally as well if not better imo.

Ritchie was getting pissed at Mitro not going for his delivery.

But Preston after his first 5 to 10 mins of Mitro getting a couple of chances doubled up on him in the box. And in the end it was Atsu looking for scraps that Mitro was being marked out of.

He nearly prodded the ball in before Perez scored.

Pass was perfect for the second goal.

[madras]

As much as I like him, if Rafa stays, and I hope he does, Mitrovic will not fit his pattern...............so he's gone really.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Unless we have two or three strikers arriving I think we will need him.

[RobS]

Has he scored more this year, or last? I seem to remember more goals last year, but could easily be wrong

[Yorkie]

I get what you're saying because we do need numbers, but I fail to see any 'need' for a rubbish striker in the PL. I'll be disappointed if he's still here in September tbh.

Less.  Only score 4 league goals this season and none at home.  1 goal in his last 18 appearances (starts and sub appearances).

 

He's simply not good enough as a striker.

 

His theatrics are pathetic as well, did another dive today in the 1st half.

[Crumpy Gunt]

He's fucking rubbish.

[xLiaaamx]

It's sad that whenever he and Perez play well together, all people want to do is say "but" and then start slagging them off.

[sugoinufc]

next season.

 

sell for right price

 

loan for a year

 

stay as 3rd or 4th choice (could create some chaos in the box when chasing a goal towards the end of games)

[Guest palnese]

Sell.

[Cronky]

Too slow.

[La Parka]

Too passive. Has effective areas of play but no striker instinct. He can bring others into the game but its not enough. Shola was better and that's saying something.

[sempuki]

We need to get what we can for him. Been here for 2 seasons now and demonstrated he's not up to it.

[ExiledGeordie]

Too slow.

 

This is his issue and he doesn't make up for it in other areas of his game

[STM]

He's not good enough and we all know it. Rafa will too but perhaps we should think about signing players before letting them go.

[Shearergol]

(insert any Newcastle player or manager name) is fucking rubbish.

 

Yawn.

[Menace]

We'll easily get our money back for him, he's only 22.

[Disco]

Deserves a new contract after that assist I reckon.

 

Nowt says enjoying promotion more than 3 posts whinging about a squad player.

Why would someone pay £13n plus for someone worse than Shola regardless of age?

10 starts, 4 goals and 5 assists fwiw. The figures there suggest he's better as a starter than impact sub.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I'm not saying he would've done what Gayle did obviously, but he was slightly unlucky in that Gayle's form eclipsed everyone else. I thought Rafa had written him off, but maybe not completely.

 

I would be happy enough with Gayle, Mitro and a new signing as strikers. Assuming we don't consider Perez able to play there.

[Shush]

If there's a club out there there will take him off us for a decent fee still I'd say take it asap. We will need goals and players that can play in Rafa's system and he's just not got it. Too slow, not sharp and can't use his natural assets to best effect. Likeable character and someone I'd love to see as a goal scoring number 9 for us, but last two years have sealed it for me.
