TRon Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'm not convinced he'll be leaving tbh. If Rafa's future is in doubt, then I can see Ashley wanting to hang onto him as an increasing value asset because of his age. The only risk to that would be a disappointing season in the Premier.

Ikon Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 He'll only leave when we have no time to get a replacement in. Rafa will walk no matter what, so it doesn't really matter. We've already wasted too much time.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Right now, I feel we should try keep him and offload one if not both of Joselu and Gayle.. i have no confidence in them to carry a goal threat for us in an entire season again. And, I think there is no f***ing way Fat Mike will let Rafa use every penny from the sale of Mitro.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 He’ll never be worth more.... That's my view since I don't think he's as effective in the Premier as he is in either the championship or international football where you can come up against weaker defenders. But I can see the argument that he's still young so might do better this time round. Not convinced personally, but it's possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Maybe he needed to leave us to get his mojo back. He could be a different player when he returns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Will probably be a De Jong situation. He'll come back in pre-season, look like he's in the manager's plans, then leave late in the window. Doubt he'll feature in preseason until Porto or Augsburg depending on when Serbia go out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I imagine we'd all be pretty excited if we were being linked to buy Mitro this summer. Would really like to see him succeed here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Never going to happen in a month of sundays he will be sold well before the season starts. Rafa does not fancy him one jot and if a player like Joselu can get in the team before you then there is not a chance in hell for him having his career here extended.

As long as Rafa is here Mitrovic will be gone the manager picks the team not the owner and I’m certain Ashley is already rubbing his hands at that profit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FustinoSolano Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Agree with the consensus that he'll be on his way as it's been clear from day one Rafa has never fancied him, probably for a variety of reasons, temperament, lack of mobility, attitude etc. However it is pretty galling to see him score continuously for Fulham and Serbia when we've had to watch Gayle and Joselu misfire all season. Rafa has improved most if not all players in the current squad which makes it that bit more puzzling, he's such a good coach / man manager yet he clearly believes Mitro is a lost cause. Suppose the only silver lining is that if he keeps banging them in his price will just keep going up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 To get the best out of Mitrovic here we would have to change our whole way of playing and it’s obvious what Rafa wants from his front players, energy, mobility and the ability to adapt roles, positions and tactics. I don’t think Mitrovic is that type of player and never will be. He’s basically an old style centre-forward. If he has a decent WC I can see a host of clubs being in for him, but if I were him I’d make the move to Fulham permanent as they play to his strengths, he has a manager who trusts him, fans who adore him and in the PL the level he needs to be proving himself at week in week out. I think he’d be a handful in Italy as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I always think that Mitro fails to impress in the big games by trying too hard and often getting into trouble. I thought in Villas final run in and play offs he was very ordinary, almost cumbersome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in Villas final run in and play offs he was very ordinary, almost cumbersome. He’s never going to be that kind of match winner or big game player because he doesn’t have the skills, pace or creativity to effect a game by himself as a player. He’s someone who relies massively on the team to have a say rather than him being the one that has the final say. He is an ordinary player, but can score goals if given the right service.

Cronky Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I wouldn't take the risk. With us, he was a very costly failure, and that could be to do with the extra pressure of playing for our club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Regardless of his style of play, he's making a mockery of the Misstrovic tag he was given. Was scoring goals for us in pre-season and a couple early on too. Even in a Rafa system I think he could do something. His goals per minute ratio under Benitez is decent.

He's bang average mate, all he does is score lots of goals. I'd much rather have a player with a bit of guile (like Gayle) who never scores, but at least he doesn't try too hard etc etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
