Unless they reinforce significantly I feel they will struggle.
Mitrovich has already proved he struggles to score in the premier league and this season is not a vintage one for championship defences. Even Dom Solanke is on target to get over 30 goals.
Fulham have already conceded 39 goals...
You're probably right, but I think Chris's steady management would be perfect for a hothead like Mitrovic. The same way he got the best out of Knockaert.
So would Mitrović if given the chance, but Raffa only used him a total of 89 minutes, in which he scored 1 goal.
I still hope we try again in the summer.
From what I've read re our transfer policy, we tend to stalk our targets for a long time. Impulsive buys, influenced by recent form, can prove to be costly if the recent good form was a deveation from the norm.
I doubt Jorgensen would be unknown by our scouting department, but I must admit I...

So you didn't bother to go and read the wiki page because in your view everything written there is without foundation?
Go and have a look and if you can find any errors in what is written about Mitrovic I'll bow to your superior intellect.
What I was originally trying to say was that he was...
If you check out Mitrovic's profile on Wikipedia you will see he has massive potential, which he has not yet made the most of.
If Chris thinks there is a chance he can get the lad to fulfill even half of what was expected of him as a youth player, we will have a £50m+ player on our hands.
None...
I think you're correct, just because the manager doesn't fancy him is no reason to be put off. I remember when Benitez was Liverpool manager and wanted to offload Xabi Alonso so he could buy Gareth Barry.
Once the cat's out of the bag there's no point trying to stitch up our own local journo by denying it. Also, it's in our interests to release details as it unsettles both the player and the Toon army.
Likely scenario is that we made a bid, they knocked it back demanding outrageous sum, we now...
