toontownman Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Always liked mitro. Thought it was more an attitude clash that saw him moved on rather than talent? We can do better now but gladly would have had him back. Offered much more than Gayle imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Premiership: Gayle 26 in 139 Mitro 24 in 104 Joelinton 6 in 78 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GideonShandy Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 To be fair it wasn't just an attitude clash that earned him the "Misstrovic" tag, or caused him to keep getting sent off or to go down clutching his face at the slightest excuse. He's clearly matured a lot since Rafa moved him on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I'd rather have the guy who scores 1 in 233 than the guy who scores 1 in 289 like. Also rather have the guy who does what his manager tells him to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Didn't Mitro end his Newcastle career by being suspended for more games than goals he scored for us? Edited October 26, 2021 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, which is why I thought per minutes was a better stat and it's actually shown Gayle has delivered more than looking at it from purely appearances to goals. They both aren't good enough overall though. We need better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before our season in the championship I don't think he'd ever been the leading man. Mitro has been the leading man all his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what your argument is, but both are not good enough for us is the overall decision. It was just noted that one scored more in less appearances, but actually it's the reverse when you consider time actually on the pitch to goal ratio. Both are not good enough whichever way you look at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are not good enough whichever way you look at it. I just remember liking Gayle after seeing him come on as a sub to score goals. It made him look like a natural PL striker in development. Looking back though, I remember a couple being the final goal in a comfortable victory, so a lot less pressure coming off the bench. With the opposition tired and chasing the game.

With the opposition tired and chasing the game. OK I get what you're saying which is the nuanced difference to how they've been utilised. I think it would be fair to say if you gave Gayle more time he may have scored more and if you have Mitro more late sub appearances he would have scored less? Unless we're saying Gayle only does it off the bench when we are in top? - to be honest it's a hypothetical not worth thinking too deeply on. I don't want either here and don't value them as Premier League strikers for us. Edited October 26, 2021 by hakka Auto correct Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle was afforded the time to develop into a PL forward and has failed. Mitrovic was leading the line for a PL team at 19 or something. I don't disagree with the conclusion that neither has developed into a PL forward. But Mitro still has a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Pilgrim Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 He’s too slow for the premier league imo. And never looked fit, so many times he was through and hit a daisy cutter with jelly legs. Better than big joe mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
