Parky Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Mitro will probably be a good PL cf when he's 25. The fact is he's 21 and we need goals. I won't criticise a 21 year old for not quite being good enough yet, I'll criticise the people who thought he would be. In 2/3 years he'll be decent and by that I mean 10/12 goals a season and good hold up play. The 5 or so he's missed this season will go in and his all round play will improve. I don't see him as a Tier One striker ever, mainly because he lacks pace, seems ungainly and is an average finisher. Clearly been bought as a sell on and suddenly lumbered with all the pressure of a relegation battle has done his state of mind no good at all.

Pilko Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 How shit our strikers have been all season and yet people happily write this geezer off without a start or even a half. Laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 How shit our strikers have been all season and yet people happily write this geezer off without a start or even a half. Laughable. He rarely trained at Roma btw because he didn't want to - just played games. Probably why when he arrived we were shocked at his fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 He didn't train because he didn't want to? :lol: True dat. We basically bought a bloke who said he was unhappy at Roma scored 2 in 13 in Serie A, wanted to go back to Russia on loan, didn't train properly and fans complained that he didn't warm up either when he came on. He avoids excess activity. This might run counter to his chosen profession as a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's a classic. I was speaking to my uncle Ben on Saturday and said that Aaron Ramsey was almost certain to be the unanimous choice for footballer of the year. He took the glass of champagne out of my hand and said: 'You mean Wayne Rooney, don't you?' I told him that he had made a very good point and promptly went home.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Was he injured today or was bingo on? Seemed strange that Riviere was on the bench and he wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'll tell you now that a Doumbia who has been training on fags and doner kebabs has got more chance of scoring a goal as a sub than Riviere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 From some Italian newspaper: It's stated that there is a clause in the deal where, if Doumbia plays ten matches, Newcastle are contractually obliged to purchase the pacey striker for €22m (£17.4m) £17.4m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
