Think they often talk about since it became 'the Championship' like with PL records.

Ah of course, I wish it was looked at as 'level' instead of 'brand' but it is what it is I guess.

He is so far, until he proves otherwise.

 

He has twice surpassed Gayle's highest PL goal tally (7 in 2013/14), scoring 11 and 9 in relegated teams. Don't think double figures in the PL for a shit team is to be sniffed at.

Think it was @Optimistic Nut who used to always defend him as he was only 21 and had a lot put on his shoulders. I'm still not 100% on whether he'd translate that success to the Premier which has more requirements, but I'd have him any day of the week right now over Wood, and that's not particularly having a go at Wood, who might play his part in keeping us up. I just think Mitro has probably developed a lot since the last few years.

I never rated him here but he's definitely improved in my opinion, however there must be a reason that no-one has taken a punt on him.

I know for a fact that Benitez actually rated him but he fell below the minimum fitness levels required of his players, and refused to do anything about it. I honestly think he'd do really well in somewhere like Italy.

Did any of you want him back here in January? In addition or in place of Wood? I did. I wouldn't mind if just as addition to Wood too.

 

 

 

I don’t think we could have got him for the same price as Wood tbh. 
 

Mitro is certainly a better footballer than Wood, but getting Woods killed two birds.

Personally I think he is much better then Wood. I know alot of you said the Premier League is too much of a step up, but I swear he had a very decent first half season with Fulham?

His Prem goal record wasn’t bad the first two seasons. Can’t really expect him to be prolific in those teams. He was terrible last year, but Fulham fans I know say Parker’s tactics were a lot to blame there. In the right tactics where he’s the main man he gets goals (Serbia also shows this). 
 

He was also young when with us, whereas he’s clearly matured since and doesn’t appear to be the red card risk. 
 

I still want to see him back as felt he has unfinished business and I have a perhaps irrational fondness for him, but guess I’d take Mbappe or Haaland over him.

He's a passionate lad and I wish him well. We couldn't wait the years for him to develop into the player he is today. With the new era, we will sign better strikers in the summer and beyond. Best of luck to him and us.
