    Just thinking

    So Benitez gets rid off Mirovic and then we buy Joelinton for 40 and then Wilson for 20.

    Well out of the three, I'd have Wilson.

    Being honest, Mitro didn't get a fair chance in the Chimpo, imo but I think he's like Gayle...that's his level.

    As for Joelinton, in all seriousness, whoever said he's worth paying £40 million for should have been sacked.

    Still think the same about Mitro after his performance today ?

    Didn't see it. I know he scored 2 and one was a pen.

    He is everything our most expensive signing isn't.Good in the air, good hold up capability & a goalscorer.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd have him over Joelinton any day of the week.

    Then again, a cryogenically frozen corpse would be more effective if it just lay around the edge of the box slowly thawing out. Aye, it'd be caught offside a few times but it would have better movement. And probably better finishing.

    Mitrovic is a class player another 2 goals today 3 already this season and his record for Serbia is amazing, sadly just another quality player got rid of to soon by Benitez. Least it finally looks like joelinton will be on the bench most of this season so long as Wilson stays fit.

    Joelinton would be better off being the bench.

    Mitrovic is that good he still plays for Fulham. Even when they went down nobody wanted to buy him. It always amazes me that when the club signs players its fair play Ashley, when players get sold its down to the manager.(in this case Benitez)
    Mitrovic left nearly 3 year ago and people still bang on about him. Wilson is a lot better player. A player with 14 goals in 65 app for us is not someone I would bang on about. Thats before his red card episodes are taken into account.

    I was a big Mitro supporter, till I saw him play for us against Oxford and I felt completely let down by him.

    Yes, he's better than Joelinton but equally not his fault we paid £40 million for him but my 96 year grandad is better than Joelinton.

    As G74 said, nobody bought him when Fulham went down.

    I agree with Zip, Chimpo is his level.
