54 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Mitro has been wank this season, so it's not like he'd be a miss. I can see us selling him for 15 mil and bringing in someone like Gestede for a lot less than that as a stop gap until the end of the season. Murphy has got fuck all to do with any of it, he was signed as a second target man and will probably remain that. He'll never kick a ball for us in the Prem. No he hasn't, he's not been outstanding, but he's been decent, and he's barley been involved, and when he has been he's effected play pretty well, case and point being the Norwich game, and scored goals.

Hanshithispantz Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 3 goals and 2 assists in 443 minutes. "Wank" He was class when he got a little run of starts earlier in the season, since then he's started only once and made a couple of 10 minute cameos - any negative view of him during that time is borderline insane.

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Wank was a probs a bit harsh, but I don't even think he's been decent. He doesn't even put himself about when he comes on with 10 mins to go. He played the entire 90 mins against Blackburn up top and didn't have a single shot on target.

So he's had one quiet game against Blackburn and hasn't "imposed himself with 10 minutes to go" in the comfortable 2-0 win at Leeds and the 4-0 defeat of Birmingham? Fair enough like, hardly a damning critique of the lad though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 No need to sell him in Jan, unless he wants to go. As much as I really want to rate him, I just don't. I think his lack of pace and quick feet, ultimately, let's him down. Gayle is much better than him IMO and I'm not sure Gayle will be prolific in the premiership.

I'm with you, don't think he's been great at all. Me too. Too slow, overweight, wont work hard enough. Unless he sheds some pounds and finds some mobility and channelled aggression he won't make it as a premiership player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Haven't made my mind up on him yet but for a guy who puts so much effort into showing how passionate he is, he regularly looks like he isn't trying that hard on the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I don't get that at all like, he might have quiet games now and then but he's often all over the pitch. At the back end of last season he could hardly be faulted for not trying when he came on, and in 4 of the 5 starts he's had this season he's scored or assisted at least 1 goal.

Aye, at times he runs around like a man possessed but then at other times he doesn't jump for headers, doesn't close down defenders, etc. When you portray yourself like Mitro does, then you have to be like that all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 True Faith podcast hinted that the staff are sick of a particular player coming on as sub and not doing what they're telling him to do. Whoever that is, I imagine they're going the right way to be transfer listed under a manager like Rafa. Would guess it's Mitro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously wants to start every game so I cannot see how it would benefit him to saunter about when given a chance. Only really Blackburn (which I never saw but going off reports) where I think he's started and hasn't got himself involved though this season.

Stifler Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The main reason why Mitro isn't starting games is down to Gayle scoring, nothing more and nothing less. When Gayle isn't starting it's often Mitro, and when Gayle comes off it's usually Mitro replacing him. If Rafa had a problem with Mitro then surely we would be seeing less of him being the automatic choice for replacement of Gayle and Murphy would have had more of a chance?

Knowing what we know about Rafa's philosophy, I would assume it is to keep things simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 True Faith are an abomination. The fact that they have lucked out and met Rafa has given them an elevated status. Their magazine was full of dickheads from 70'-80's telling stories of how they smashed such and such at such and such game. I don't believe a word anyone of them says, and I doubt Rafa would leak information like that to anyone, let alone to a fanzine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 True Faith have it in for Mitro it has to be said. Wouldn't believe a word they say. Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 May 8 At the same age Shola was much better than Mitrovic. Don't know if his fan club appreciate that or not. Shola did score a few occasionally. Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 May 8 An average striker scores 2/3 chances Mitrovic had yesterday. Still, does some arm waving for the bairns so that's okay Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Jun 5 I'm not a fan of Mitrovic - poor mobility, not a good finisher and red card waiting to happen. Sell him if we can. Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Dec 17 I'd shed no tears if Rafa sold Mitrovic and reinvested in quality to secure promotion and get us ready for the PL #NUFC Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 6h6 hours ago For someone who apparently didn't like working with Carr's players, Pardew appears keen on signing a lot of them for Palace. #Mitro4Palace Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Apr 9 I predict Mitrovic will be on the door at a dodgy Belgrade nightclub b4 he's 30. Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Dec 8 Apparently Mitro loves #NUFC but has an agent trying to get him moves away. Funny that isn't it? Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Dec 18 If Swansea want Mitro for £15m and his agent seems to have been busy looking 4 a move I'm ok with that if Rafa is #NUFC Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Sep 20 Any coincidence Diame has played better with Murphy up top rather than Mitro? Michael Martin @tfeditor1892 Sep 13 I'm not convinced at all about Mitro but he can prove me wrong tonight. Michael Martin is an utter cretin. True Faith is the worst fanzine going.
