[Football] Mitrovic - Murrays replacement?

[Hampster Gull]

Completely

Rafa plain refused to sell him to a relegation rival, sensible man. Yes he would have been the natural, better (imo), replacement. I believe we tried very hard to get him last season.

Not a hope in hell now but at least it shows our recruitment team are on the ball these days. Mystified how he passed the “no dickheads” policy though

Not that sensible, he shouldn’t have sold him in the first place. He’s much better than anyone they’ve got.

I do not get Newcastle's logic. They would not sell to us because we are a relegation rival but are happy to sell to Fulham, a relegation rival.

Maybe after a year in the Premier League they think they are now above such things as relegation scraps. In which case they will not be at all concerned that their last game of the season is away against....

Fulham.

Ashley Barnes

Ashley Barnes

Hardly set the world on fire when he was here last time. I certainly wouldn't want him back here.

 

[Megazone]

There's some lad who plays upfront for Wycombe who's clearly going to be the new Murray. He's banged in goals for the likes of Peterborough plus he has trademark characteristics of a Golden Labrador when on the pitch. Mitrovic is just another Ashley Barnes. We need to look deeper for forwards.

 

[Bladders]

The lad at Wigan.

 

[Cozzy]

No I dont think we will re visit old ground in this one. We tried last season to get him but he was no allowed to join a prem team who could have sunk Newcastle. By the time Murray retires (maybe end of this season given no contract talks are taking place) I think the Albion will have a list of who they think will replace him already drawn up and are just playing the waiting game.

 

[AmexRuislip]

At least Mitrovic makes a better job of doing the hand ball thing than Muzza!
It would be a no for me , we have Andone to carry on GM mantle

The lad at Wigan.

Powell?
He's a midfielder isn't he?

I assume he means the combustible one...

Hmmm. Well I thought he did. He’s as good a number 10 as Gross. It’s all about opinions, innit.

 

[GT49er]

Whether or not he would have become the 'New Murray' I don't know - I think, FWIW, he had as good a chance of doing that as any, but Newcastle wouldn't let us have him in January, he went to Fulham, they loved him and bought him. That particular horse has now bolted, I'm afraid - unless he's got a low sell-on clause and Fulham go down; one of those might happen, but not both, I think.

 

[Bladders]

Powell?

Thought he started there but has been moved upfront for Wigan? I could be wrong.

 

[durrington gull]

Absolutely no chance he’ll come to us now - should have got him last season

 

[Murray 17]

We could try and do a straight swap for Locadia. Oh, hang on...

 

[maltaseagull]

We will probably sign a £15 million striker from Holland who needs a groin op.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

He's better than us currently...

See how many goals he has come the end of the season, if he has 15+ a top 8 team will want him...
Top 6 plus Everton and Leicester... Everton really need a good striker.

P.s we don't sign good strikers anyway...

 

[AZ Gull]

Oh, you mean Dan Burn

 

[madinthehead]

Sebastian Haller.

Scoring a few for Eintracht.. Does look good when I have seen him
