Mitro's absence will see him 100% fit for the transfer window. We will need funds in if Rafa is to get any cash to spend as I can't see Fat boy coughing up any.
Mitro is leaving. Rafa doesn't play him, he's sn international striker that has played Champions League football and bangs them in for his country. He is also likely going to be at the World Cup and will want to play regularly. We will either sell or loan him out. We would be stupid to sell in January though. If he goes to Russia and has a good competition then his value will shoot up.
From facebook: Aleksandar Mitrovic has told Newcastle United that he wants to leave the club in the January transfer window. Mitrovic - speaking to the publication Zurnal - says he has given up hope of earning a first team berth and wants to leave the Magpies for pastures new. After being overlooked in recent weeks, Mitrovic said: “I have persistently waited for the chance over the past months and I do not welcome it. “I’m sorry, after all, I loved Newcastle but it’s time for me to look more myself, to find the best solution for my career. I tried to be honest with myself and my team-mates at every training (session) and in matches. “And the fact that I did not get a chance is simply not up to me. “Everyone knows that I was left unintentionally in the background.” Newcastle have already knocked back loan offers from Partizan Belgrade and Anderlecht and the Magpies want a cash fee for the player. Mitrovic, though, said he is fit and raring to go for a new team and went on: “I never felt better, I’m physically in flawless form, I can not wait to play. “The most important thing is to find a club and finally get a chance in the field.” But he admits that there are no offers on the table for him at the moment. He said: “No, for now. There is no concrete offer.” And while the player has accepted he won’t be going back to Anderlecht he was not so willing to shut the door on a move to Partizan. He said: “I think my arrival would be an expensive investment for Partizan. That’s the situation now but you never know.”
It’s a shame but my love for Rafa is great than my affection for Mitro. I’d happily let Pards have him in a swap for Berahinho
Needs to leave. Benitez is stifling his career. Whilst i like Benitez, his judgement with forwards is worrying. He once tried to tell Cristiano Ronaldo how he thought he should strike a football.
You mean he moved from West Brom? It was a 10 Pinter last night.... surprised I didn’t call for a swap with Fowler at Liverpool..
Crazy treatment he has had by Benitez but it’s best for all if he leaves. He is taking up a squad place and wages that Benitez refuses to utilise. Might as well get someone we can use and let the lad get on with his career. I’m sure he will do well somewhere he is given a chance.
