A sincere question, dont you think we can sell him and buy a better striker?
The reason people perceive him to be the best forward in our team, is because all the other forwards play a lot more centrally, and closer to goal, while Mirko is the only one of those that fits the LwF in the 433, which given the midfield we have, is the best formation for us. Personally, I don't think he is good enough or consistent enough to have a forward line or formation built around him, but he would be Tyne perfect complement to somebody more talented than him. I find Mirko to be a really selfish, inconsistent player and if given an option, I'd choose somebody younger with a better temperament. But unfortunately, there are already two areas in our trident that have more glaring issues, and I can't see how we will revamp an entire trident in one mercato. CF first, then RWF. Maybe give Mirko one more season with an understudy like Gio, a CF like Higuain and perhaps, a Ramirez next to him or JoJo/Suaeez and lets see how it plays out. Because I believe the pressure will then be on him to stay on top of his game to keep up with them. That being said, if Manure came calling in the summer and offered Nani in exchange for Mirko plus cash, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
