[Albion] Aleksandar Mitrovic

[Thunder Bolt]

Not the ones I know. They’ll be volunteering to drive him down. Plus there is this from SkySports:
“Mitrovic, 23, has been out for over a month with a back injury and has not started a Premier League game this season.”

Signing 1 injured striker can be forgiven, but two?

He's been training for a week now

Rafa has to sell before he can buy, and he doesn’t rate him. So you never know.

Toon have 26 players, played 23. One player must leave and I wouldn't want Joselu.

First bid rejected.

Front three of:

Izquierdo Locadia Mitrovic

At last, some pace and power.

We could still make the play offs with that trio up top.

 

[Quinney]

Let's buy the striker they're hoping to upgrade to.

Jorgensen from Feyenoord (no me neither), but scored 26 in 43 appearances.

"He wants to leave" is the stand out comment so far, there is a chance then.

However if he too is injured then this would be madness on our part.

He'd cause havoc in the oppositions box in a wheelchair.

I think this could be classic diversion tactics and is simply a smoke screen for another player we are after.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Would we make a bid just as a diversion? I don't recall the club ever doing that before. Supposing it had been accepted? We'd look real charlies, wouldn't we?

Ahhhhhh....the final piece of the jigsaw.....our Ricky Van Wolfswinkle moment!

 

[Tarpon]

Who on earth would pay £8 million for Hemed?

Reading last summer allegedly offered almost that.

Signing an expensive Dutch striker with no experience of the premier league? We’ve already nailed that one!

Seriously though, I’m quite excited by Mitrovic. He and Locadia have the potential to be quite a potent partnership IMO. A good combination of pace, power and aggression that we’ve been lacking.

No that’s nonsense, of course we wouldn’t. Some people on here just let their imagination run away with them because Bloom is a well known gambler.

I’m sure we’ve placed a few stories in the media at times but we wouldn’t actually put a bid for a player to a club whilst secretly hoping we don’t get him so we can sign someone else. Laughable.

Nah just fail him during the medical ....... wait, what??

Newcastle value him t £15M? Bit rich, considering they only paid £13M for him and his value will have deteriorated due to his failure to get games there. A flop doesn't increase in price - it's a question of them trying to cut their losses! Offer them £10M.......................

They'll throw in one of the giant Sports Direct mugs though

No we don't want Mike Ashley, thanks.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Think this would be a good signing. He's like a quicker, younger version of Hemed. He's only 23 so still hasn't peaked yet.

OK, forget ten million quid, make it eight!

If the Albion can get him back to the way he played for Anderlecht, we'd have a potential star on our hands. Mitrovic would be a handful for any defence due to his very aggressive style of play. He's a battling type centre forward who's very prone to a booking. He has the ability to hang in the air for headers and knows how to holdup the ball very well too. The new Glenn Murray but a lot more of a psychopath.
Hopefully, Newcastle was just a bad move for him. There's been plenty of top talent who go to Newcastle United and never find their on form ability. David Ginola, Damien Duff, James Milner, Hatem Ben Arfa are just a few for example. Mitrovic scored 36 goals in 69 games for Anderlecht by the age of just 20. He's still only 23.

Could be a great signing.
