Jimmy Greaves scored 386 in 566 games = 1 goal every 1.47 games. Could do a job? I believe he's out of contract at the moment, so would be available on a free ......................

:shrug: indeed. Different leagues. Means nothing. Although if you want stats, he scored 12 in 17 for Fulham last season, and was a regular 0,50+ gpg before he joined Newcastle. I personally would still have been quite happy if we'd singed him, but we haven't. End of. I still would have liked it...
Ah well, c'est la vie. I'd have been pretty excited if we'd signed him, a proven goal-scoring striker. We've got Andone instead; of course, he's an unknown quantity to most of us (and I wish the bloody auto-correct would stop putting a space in between the 'd' and the 'o'!) so we still have to...
Maybe, maybe not. Or maybe Ashley would use it as a means of getting rid of Mitrovich without upsetting Rafa by selling him direct to us. Probably not, but then none of us know, do we?

(Need an 'only joking' emoji)
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.......................
Perhaps their 'one source' doesn't know his Albion form his Albion?

Can't see Mitrovic as the answer for us, tbh, but if CH reckons he can make a positive difference, well, then...
