Popular Post Junxs Posted June 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2019 We used to criticise MON for always buying players from the Premier League, now we seem to have a proper scouting network and you all want Mitrovic and Rondon. You have to pay a premium to buy from the rival premier league clubs, we can probably buy 2 up and coming younger strikers from Europe for the same price as one of these. I repeat, they are both 1 in 4 strikers, Rondon is 29 and wont improve - last season was the first time in 4 seasons here he hit double figures and that was only just, Mitrovic is a hit and miss finisher (prem record: 21 goals in 77 apps). Lets look beyond MOTD highlights please. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Gonna say it....I think Kodja could do a decent job for us I’m not talking about relying on him completely but as said before, we do create a lot of chances He has great ability there is no doubt. Not consistent and can be greedy...yes It wasn’t that long ago he was our talisman, be it in the championship Need another striker as well though ...preparing for the backlash now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've plenty of non-strikers who can score in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've plenty of non-strikers who can score in this team. There are loads of people who can bring others into play that won't cost 20m. If thats all you're worried about then lets just stick Davis up front. I want more from a 20m striker than to just to be a bully and score an odd goal here and there. If we sign either of these, my high hopes for the new owners will start to fizzle and I will feel underwhelmed like when we signed Heskey or Harewood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a player that gets the best out of the team, which for me is more important than just his goalscoring stats. If the team is playing well, scoring goals and we're winning, why would your enthusiasm wane? More than one way to skin a cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I've thought about it and we should definitely sign Mitrovic. We love to work the ball out wide, we have some decent dead ball deliverers. Pump the ball into the box and get him on them. He's not a bad player to play off of either. He's a bully. We need a bully up top pushing back the defensive line allowing our midfielders to exploit the space created in front of him. He'd be bang on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it cant be done, but we have loads of work ahead. Early days but I think we could build something with our new owners, Smith and the few players we have left. But it will take something special and at least one or two players who rises to the challenge beyond what we dared hope. To be fair, he missed the start of the season as he joined near deadline day and was also injured for the end of the regular season (was carrying a shoulder injury in the playoffs too). More like 21 from 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
