Gawalls Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Just now, Rich said: Mitro for Wood. Fair point, I know it’s a non brainer but for now I quite like the thought of isak, Wilson, mitro, ASM & miggy fighting for the front line spots. i think that one change (and working ASM back in for appropriate games) would get quite a few more points on the board.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 He was always going to become a top striker, just came here too young and at the wrong time as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 4 minutes ago, Gawalls said: A massive plus though is that he’s been available for 15 out of 18 games this season for Fulham and all of last station for them - that’s what we also need, availability and the confidence they’ll score given a few chances. for me - as a squad striker I’d upgrade wood for him all day. Don’t think he’d accept being a third choice tbh. Looks he needs to be the main man. Didn’t seem to be best pleased when this wasn’t the case under Rafa (although tbf I don’t think he really kicked off, just wanted to move). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean - nobody is first choice, wood is third choice for us because that’s just correct but not necessarily for mitro. And let’s stop comparing him to what he was like so men years ago, people grow up and personalities change.

jackyboy Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Mitro would be no good for Eddie. One of the problems between him and Rafa was that he didn't want to do tracking back. If I remember right he said my strength is up front scoring goals no defending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeah I think he's developed as a player and person. Grafts his bollocks off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - what Man U have is rashford & martial where if one fails to get the winner then the other seems to step up. I feel we don’t have that and this forum has listed a lot of supposedly weaknesses for mitro in the fact that he don’t track back, he has an attitude problem but there’s two major positives he’s brought to Fulham this season. He puts the ball in the net and he’s always available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) I never liked Mitro tbh, the play acting really rubbed me up the wrong way and he was dirty as well. Always thought he was overrated during his time here. Nice words though and I'd obviously snap your hand off for a situation in which he replaced Wood, as unlikely as that is.

STM Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Mitro would be great but even the best sides in the world can't have 3 senior players vying for 1 spot. Normally you have 2 senior and one older/younger player who accepts their role in the squad. When Wood goes I expect us to sign someone young and probably south American, to develop.

Can't even pass I didnt mean to harp on Wood as for me it would be like beating a dead horse, I've said my piece about him one to many times . But it was due to Wood getting credit for his grafting so I thought it was apt to compare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I would assume the same. And as you stated he would be a 50 million player at this point. Tis but a dream as they say . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to the lad (not today obviously) but his failings were pretty apparent at the time, and Fulham is the perfect club for him. Would I swap him for Wood? Yes, but that’s saying nowt. The one similarity to Wood is that you really have to play a style that suits him - and our style would not suit him (granted, he works harder than some may suspect).

Having 2 that’s bloody fit is a start, sick of Wilson and asm never being available personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
