Mitro is effective in Champship where the chances & mistakes happen more frequently- and irs a much more aerial game.

In PL pace is king and he dosent have that .

Would probably score half a dozen with a decebt top 10 side .

Only 2 or 3 in a side like ours

I think even Messi or Rinaldo would struggle to score 2 or 3 in a side like ours!

He scored 9 and 11 in his first two PL seasons

Still want him...

I hope we’re in the PL next season so would rather not.

I'd very much have him in the squad if we're in the Premier League next season. Backup/rotation/impact sub, hell he might actually be allowed to prove he'd score at the top flight if he had service.

For the amount he’d cost I think there’s probably better squad striker options around.

Totally agree. Alot of players have peaked after the age of 26. Both Vardy and Kane were late bloomers so I don't buy the whole "he's shown his level" argument. Not convinced he has at all.

Fulham fans seem to think he's improved massively under their new manager

And I know he is a player for the big games. Norway has met Serbia with him on top twice in qualifying, he was a complete monster.
I'm not saying Norway's defence is a milestone, but you can see who is ready for games like this and who is not, and he was the force behind two heartbreaks.

Would love to see him back, but the amount it would take for Fulham to sell wouldn't be worth it.

Who knows if he has some kind of clause.

Apparently in 2019 they wanted £40m for him when they went down so you’d expect after this season at minimum it’d be that so no way. Plus, why would they sell for anything less than stupid money if they come up?

Unless we give them 20 mil + Wood

If only we'd had the common sense for a buyback clause.

I don't think they are that common here really, certainly not for a player the management/club didn't want and we were getting a big profit on anyway. Chelsea have learnt their lesson and have started putting clauses in the young players they sell off on the cheap, took a while though.
