Varadi Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Think if we had just paid 20 million for him and we're relying on him to score the goals to keep us up I would be pretty worried having watched that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed up comfortably last season with our top scorer on 8 and while it would be great to have someone who would score 20 + goals, for me at our current stage of development, it’s not the number of goals that so much as bothers me it’s the all-round game and Mitrovic just doesn’t have it. Not for the way we play anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 When was the last time one of our players divided opinion so much. (Not counting Ben Arfa). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 When was the last time one of our players divided opinion so much. (Not counting Ben Arfa). We’ve had loads, but it was mainly down to things like work rate (Robert), finishing (Bellamy) and Dyer (fitness). I’m sure everyone recognised they were good players and key players for us. I think with Mitrovic many want to believe in him because of this (overplayed) sense of passion and strength he somehow demonstrates to fans. That and because he hasn’t really been given a chance under Rafa so many would like to see him get that chance. If anyone seriously thinks he’s anything other than a limited/average player though they are deluding themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent post had you left the last sentence in your head He's got a decent touch, he's good at lay offs and holding the ball, but unfortunately he's below average at finishing. Nothing more to it.

KaKa Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If Mitrovic did more work from a defensive point of view i.e. when we didn't have the ball, and along with that wasn't the liability he can be from a discipline point of view, then I have no doubt Rafa would use him, regardless of anything else. Then we'd really begin to see him become something special. However Rafa never felt he was fit enough to do what was needed for the team defensively. It was of vital importance too, considering the lack of quality in the squad. And so he just won't be the guy for Rafa, simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us selling either/or both of those tbh, maybe buy one main striker and loan another. If you could get £30m for Mitro and Gayl, you could potentially buy two strikers.

TRon Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If Mitro ever finished a one on one with a dink finish like Lukaku just did there, I don't think you could question his finishing ability. He's more of a head down, hit and hope striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more of a head down, hit and hope striker. Pretty sure he finished a 1v1 at the start of the season against West Ham. May not have been dinked as per your requirements, but it was a composed finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
