Now Mitro is scoring goals, should we sell and recoup some money or pay him to stay with us in the Championship?
We need him whichever division we are in
I love him and would keep him if I was in charge, but I also think he stuck with us last time and we didnt replay that faith this year in my view. Might be time to cash in but a lot will be down to who is manager.
We should keep him regardless of which division we are in. But clearly we need a better striker either as first choice or for Mitro to play alongside if we stay up.
He been both off form and unfit for most of this season, which is the main reason why he hasn't played more games. But, if he can get back to his best he will be an asset..
Stick without a doubt. Proven goal scorer in the Championship, and a fit Mitro is good enough to play in the PL. We are short in the final third as is.
We will need Mitro in the Championship but he will want to be away.
Now if you know who gets the Shefield United job that may be an attractive move for him.
I don't think Mitro will be here next season.
We need to keep him, why sell any key player.
There are a number of players in the squad or out on loan that are surplus to requirements IMO. Mitro is most definitely not one of them.
Considering manager hasnt considered him good enough most of season to play in PL what is his value now
We definitely need to keep him
Short term (next season) the answer for me has to be to keep him. I'm not sure how I'd feel if we got back into the PL again at first time of asking.
We've got a reasonably well proven recipe for getting out of the Championship with Mitro as our main striker. If it's not broken, we probably ought not be trying to fix it?
What's less clear is whether or not there's a viable approach to survive in the Premier League with Mitro as our main striker. That's no particular judgement on him as an individual and a player, I just think we're a little flat/one dimensional a lot of the time when he's involved. We set ourselves up to play around Berbatov and that didn't work out too well.
He's still only 26 though, it could be we haven't even seen the best of him yet?
Keep if we go down. If we stay up, sell for any good offers (both i doubt we will get any) and keep if we can't get 25m or there about.
We need to play tactics that supply him with the ball.
Joe Bryan over Robinson for starters.
He is slow and has the turning circle of the titanic (mid sinking), but he scores goals.
Having said that, if someone offer £25m for him, we should sell and bring in better players.
Stick, and give him the ball, crosses into the box if any of our players remember how to do that.
According to Transfermarkt, we bought him for 22.2m; would you sell him for that?
It's up to too him maybe he'll not wanna drop again, although he owes it to us after this shocking season

He's 26 and should be approaching his peak as a striker.
Can see a move to somewhere like Germany.
As for him owing us, he could quite easily say that he wasn't handled well when his form dropped off.
He's a Legend, gotta keep him!
If we go down and want to come back up, we have to keep him.
Would you rather keep Mitro or Parker, if one refuses to stay if the other does?
Mitro

Maybe 1/2 what is was before we got back into the PL. 1 of the Championship teams promoted this season might put in an offer for him but can't see any of the present PL teams being interested. I would base my decision on keeping or selling him depend on the quality of the rest of our squad.
Just watched the Villa 90 and Mitro had a good game even though we provided a lousy service.
In a system suited to him, heavy crossing teams like Burnley for example, he'd bag loads of goals. If Chris Wood can score the goals he does, Mitro would get double! Unfortunately we don't cross under parkerball cos he thinks we're Man City!

Mitro, Mangers with no tactical sense are ten a penny a decent centre forward is hard to find
Stick but only if we're going to get decent players around him. The poor bloke gets so frustrated at the shocking service he gets and rightly so.
Thought Mitro was outstanding against Villa. Not the case in many games he has played. Maybe putting himself in shop window in case we go down
Absolutely stick
Strange question. Should Fulham sell their best asset for money, which doesn't help Fulham F.C. return to the EPL if we are in that position. Why would any fan of Fulham want to look after the purse-strings of a multi-billionaire owner to harm the team? The mind boggles....

I think the assumption is that any money from his sale would go into the spending pot.

you are assuming Mitro would wish to drop back down with us...
Love Mitro but hope he isn't with us next season if we go down that's a waste for his career. If we stay up then keep him for sue e
I am with MJG on this one. I would love to keep Mitrovic, but he already spent a season in the Championship and helped us to get promoted so if he didn't want to do it again, we should try to find the best deal for him and for us.
He'll be off, and for next to bugger all. Sadly.
If he wants to stay and fight for the club then I would keep him. We must have someone to score.
Our ex players turning in a shift tonight. Christensen, Rodallega and Kasami all scoring. That's more between them in one night than our forwards seem to manage in a month or two.
Mitro owes Fulham? He's essentially promoted the club to the EPL TWICE with his goals. To add to that in the first promoted season he did extremely well when all was going horribly wrong elsewhere on the field.
Has he been off form at the start of the year? Yes - but he's also been benched and given 5 or 10 minute runs (why Parker waits so long to make a sub is beyond me), he's also had a frustrating hamstrign injury plus Covid. Would be fantastic for him to stay but he'll be off I feel.
He's an iconic player for Fulham, and helped us achieve so much, with a great interaction with the fans, but his career isn't progressing at Fulham, and our style trying to stay in the Prem, with the players we have, isn't suiting his qualities -
well he's mostly on the bench, and when he plays is very isolated up front, though in the Ch., i would expect him to again feature strongly and score goals, but would he want to stay?
Would he want to help us get promoted again, and then not play? I'm sure he wants to achieve things personally and as part of a team, while he is still in his prime, and his great international performances have kept him in the shop window.

In my book he owes us absolutely nothing. He's twice helped get us promoted and stuck with us after relegation. Yes he's been out of form this season but in his defence he suffered Covid and has suffered at the hands of Parker's tactics. And @0anyway he was frequently omitted and when he's come on as a sub he's been given a pathetic few minutes to try to make some sort of impression.
