TRon Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Would rather we gave Mitro the chance than Slimani Mitro's pretty much out scored him in the PL with a much worse team I don't know much about Slimani, but I've seen enough of Mitrovic to convince me he's not the answer.

taxfree Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Would rather we gave Mitro the chance than Slimani Mitro's pretty much out scored him in the PL with a much worse team Mitrovic is absolute f***ing garbage man. The sooner people accept that the better. The guy hasn't the slightest clue how to be a striker 9 goals in 30 starts in his first premier league season, thats not garbage at all. We could do better but hes definitely got something. He is young though and needs to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You already know this, but we were relegated that season and he's just been even worse in the league below. I'd love us to bring someone else in tbh, I think we're screwed if we don't.

We could do better but hes definitely got something. He is young though and needs to improve. He had much less than 30 starts, 22 or something iirc. I think 3 of his goals came off the bench as well, and he scored two penalties (one of those off the bench) so 5 goals from play in 22 starts really. He was generally much better off the bench in the PL and the complete opposite in the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I thought Mitrovic looked promising enough in his first season, 9 goals in a first season ain't shabby at all for a young striker that's just arrived to the league, but he managed to go backwards in the C'ship. I have soured on him a little, tbf, I thought somebody with his attributes would dominate that league, yet if Benítez hadn't struck gold with Gayle we'd have been f***ed.

Of course we should, but people are OTT with this garbage stuff mainly because people withy much higher reputations have had worse seasons than what Mitrovic had. To be clear though I definitely think we should buy a striker, goes without saying tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Mitrovic started he contributed. We'll never know for sure how he'd have done but he never had a clear run of games (rightly so because of Gayle), but there's nothing to suggest if he was starting week in, week out, he'd not have gained confidence and scored goals.

Well you could look beyond the stats and just judge him on his finishing and general inability to get into goal scoring areas in general. Even in his first season he looked like he was lacking in both as far as I'm concerned. I never had the same doubts about Gayle in comparison.

Jaqen Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Struggling to think of anything Mitro does better than Slimani. They paid 30m for him though so not sure what sort of loss they'd be happy to take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of them 9 goals 2 or 3 were penalties and 2 came in the Norwich game He scored 4 fucking goals in The championship and couldn't get a game ahead of Daryl Murphy. The guy is fucking hopeless, the sitters and chances he misses on a regular basis is predominantly what cost us relegation in the first place. If Dwight Gayle had have been our striker that year we wouldn't have dropped He's absolutely awful, the love in for him is bizarre to say the least and this nonsense about him being young has to stop He's 22 and possess none of the attributes to make a good striker, if you haven't got them at that age you'll never have them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ladies, pls take this to the Mitro thread, where all of this has been discussed to death. FWIW, I'd rather have a dream team of Stephane Guivarche & Andreas Andersson than Mitro, but you'll find such insightful comments in abundance in the Mitro thread. Where you should all go.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Would certainly feel a lot more confident with Slimani upfront over Mitro like. Edit: aye that ^^^ Yet he scored less than Mitrovic did in his only PL season. People would no doubt want him gone within a season based on his performances for Leicester. I'm all for getting someone who can guarantee even in 10 goals but Slimani ffs. But of course I'm a Mitrovic lover because I don't want someone who scored less than the one who is garbage.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Actually I've changed my mind, I forgot penalties and games where you score more than once don't count on the scoring stats, how stupid of me. Hes fucking garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'd like Slimani but not sure how well he'd fit our system. Can't see us spending £15m+ on a 29 year old either like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberts Mustache Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Slimani has scored over 15 goals one season in his entire carreer and he's 29. Don't understand where all the hype comes from - that one season in Sporting? Where he picked up after top scorer Ricky Van Wolfswinkel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
