Title: Aleksandar Mitrović
Post by: JEEVES on September 04, 2021, 12:07:07 AM
I've not supported Fulham aslong as some of the old boys on here, who I have massive respect for. I was born in 1992 and my Dad has been taking me since the second my mum would let him. My favourite player was Paul Peschisolido. I remember that Sean Davis goal, I remember us winning the league and our promotion to the premier league and Tigana with his Tooth picks. My favourite player was Louis Saha, what a striker. From then onwards it was Brian Mcbride, Steed Malbranque, Luis Boa Morte, Danny Murphy, Jimmy Bullard, Clint Dempsey, Tom Cairney and for the past 4 (Into the 5th) seasons. My favourite player is Mitro. Absolutely love this guy. In my lifetime I've never seen a more loyal player to our club. I'm probably in the minority of people who thinks he is a premier league striker. 11 goals the first time we went up which was a shambles with 3 managers, then didn't didn't get minutes last season from a manager who played absolute garbage football.

His loyalty is unbelievable. Apparently he was recently interviewed by a Serbian journalist who asked him why he didn't want to move to a top European league and what he said translated to "better to be the best in the village than the worst in the city".

I am over the moon with the appointment of Marko Silva and his attacking style of football but I'm so glad he came in and convinced mitro to stay and told him he believed in him. That 5 year contract is one of the best pieces of news I've seen in years.

Mitro tops it for me. Love him. Hope you lot do too.

Boys and girls we are on for such an enjoyable season. I can't even wait for the next game!

"better to be the best in the village than the worst in the city"

That just sums up why he is a Fulham legend.  Knowing what is best from you as individual player, as well as your family and not always trying to reach for the one of the so called big clubs is admirable IMHO.  Make me respect him even more as a player and human being.

I come from the same background as far as fulham goes and my age and the generations of players I saw that made the biggest impression on me.

Very little to disagree with and I too am stunned into a greater respect than I already had for Mitro by how seamlessly he's under the radar gone about his job for us, never kicking toys out of his pram, whilst providing the quality we need and still stays humble and committed to the club.

If he stays the duration of his contract then he'll have surpassed quite a few, if not all, players to have played for the club in my time as a fan, which is saying something.

Also, whilst the books and records are still being written, I'd say if his goals get us promoted a third time and we end up coming good with him in the premiership he may be the first player as he gets to the end of his new contract that in humble terms I'd have to consider calling a legend.

Not only for his commitment to the club through seasons up and down, but his humility and ability to constantly provide goals.

We're completely spoilt having such a consistent marksman at our club who also happens to be so loyal.. to think how many transfer windows were spent fretting over finding a reliable striker and now we've got one who simply wants to be here regardless and knows what he's doing.

I also agree that both times we've been promoted with him, the first time was a shambles with three managers and an 11 goal return was still decent all things considered and last season he hardly got a game.

He's a rare breed of footballer and is earning my respect more and more as he plays.

Really refreshing to see in the modern game.

He is also potentially well on his way to being one of our all time top goalscorers, if not the record breaker for the club. He's 52 goals away from being in the top 7. If he scores 20+ this season he'll be very close. That doesn't include the four he's already got.

Really hope marco silva sees what we see and utilises all the obvious ability he's got both in the championship and hopefully in the premiership.

👏👏👏 for a well timed post and worthwhile topic.

Top reply too. He's not just referring to the league he's playing in. He's saying it's better to be a legend at a smaller club than a bench warmer at a bigger club e.g. Newcastle. Got his head screwed on. Why be the injury time sub when you can be the main man and be remembered forever. But also he made it subtle cos if he literally said we were a small club we wouldn't like that would we haha.

Honestly it's the truth and we do come from the same page on this.

Yes we've had some great players who've played for the club and I don't think I'll ever forget the European final run and the wall of sound I experienced in hamburg and perhaps that team will go down in folklore and as legends as a team for that, but there wasn't one particular player I thought I'd say or feel was a legend.

Hangeland was fantastic and I loved him as a player, but had he got his way he'd have left the club a couple of times over and that soured it a bit for me.. same with schwarzer.

Getting to the final was very much an incredible feat but it was a monumental team effort and the credit in my mind given the turnaround in our fortunes for me goes particularly to roy, who I'd say was a fulham legend in management terms. The players all had distinct roles, talked him up for his meticulous preparation before games and even now still do.

I've my favourites, the bullards, diops (rip), pettas, hangeland, gera, mcbrides, Maik Taylor, van der saar, volz and even radzinski to a degree

And they hold firm places in fulham folklore for me, but none of them had earned legend status on an individual basis.

Mitro has a long way to go and there's a lot that could happen, but as I said if he lasts the length of his contract, scores the extra 50 odd goals to be in our top 7 goalscorers, gets us back into the premiership and helps keep us there and rebuild again but this time in the Khan era it'll be difficult to argue with.

Man utd and other clubs give players who've played at the club for over ten years tribute matches once they leave. He'd deserve one if he lasts that long.

Ah man it hurts to even mention Hamburg, I was there. I've always described it as the best and worst day of my life. It was so amazing until their second goal went in. I left the ground crying as a 17 year old. Only time I've actually cried from a loss. The play-off final against Villa in the crowd at wembley I cried the second the final whistle went because other than the first division when I was young it was the first thing I'd actually ever seen us win.

Also you did just name pretty much everyone of my honourable mention players. Hangeland is probably my favourite CB but also Roy is potentially my favourite manager and I think that was like his first signing from Copenhagen. Diop also one of my favourite players of all time. Van der sar and schwarzer amazing goal keepers. I really liked moussa dembele the 1st.

Mitros only gotta score about 120 more goals to be out all time too goal scorer lol. COYW'S

He does seem to be one of these fellows who is mellow, grounded and steady right up to the point he crosses the white line and the whistle blows.  Then he becomes something rather different.  Every team needs at least one of these.  Given us a lot of pleasure.

Recent seasons have seen lots of players come and go and I am looking for a real favourite among the Fulham players, Mitro is the obvious person to fill that need.

However I think right now he is on a knife edge, he seems to be struggling a little to get goals and will he be 1st choice when Muniz settles in. I really hope we see the old Mitro again but he has been missing for a while now.

He's on four goals from five games this season so far. Hardly struggling for goals.

That doesn't include assists either.

Direct involvement in 6 goals in 5 games so far (4G, 2A) so echo your sentiment. Mitro is back on fire and it looks like he's carrying on his form in the international break

So what's changed? Was it all down to Parker? Those missed penalties in his head? The system? Is the EPL his comfort zone (ceiling)

It can't be all down to Parker, so what do we think has changed?

My favourite Fulham player is Gordon Davies - it's my age though I think and he was a terrific striker and had a great rapport with the fans - not dissimilar to Mitro. I love Mitro and am delighted that he is rejuvenated and committed to the club.
I think Silva is working hard to develop him as a player. He is being used differently to previously and there is much more reliance on him linking up play. I'm really excited to see how Silva develops Mitro - In my view he is clearly thinking about our future in the Premiership and developing his game so it is more suited to that league. Does anybody else think along similar lines re Mitros development?

Sorry but I just don't understand this comment. He's scoring almost a goal a game and getting assists too. In what way is he struggling or missing or not the old Mitro? If a striker who gets 4 in 5 is "missing for a while now" then I hate to think what he'll do when he's arrived!

What a good positive post, with you Jeeves and General.
Bit older than you and grew up with Busby, Mitchell, Ivor, Coney even Guthrie being certain favourites of mine, then we had a few bad years, until Horsefield, Hayles, Saha, Mcbride came along but I would put Mitro up there with them all as my all time favourite Centre Forwards.

I love watching Mitro playing,  his hold--up play is quality....  but Ivor was a God..... and yes... it is purely an age thing I know... but anyone who scores for Fulham will always have a place in my heart.... even own goals are acceptable 🤣👍😉⚽️⚽️

The 'biggie' is the number of assists already this season, already more assists then the season when he scored 26 goals.

Odd comment as he's started the season averaging a goal a game for club and country. If he stays fit I can see him getting 30+ league goals this season.

So I watched the entire Serbia game, and Mitro played so well. One thing to note is that although he's credited with 2 goals, he essentially scored the 3rd goal as well. That was technically an own goal, but created by Mitro, whose bullet header was pawed off the line by the keeper into the leg of the defender who deflected it back into the goal. This goal mouth chaos was entirely of Mitro's making, and his fierce attack of the cross to make that header resulted in the nasty cheek wound that ended his night.
What a warrior.

It was indeed effectively Mitro's goal. He was just too much for them in the air.

Ultimately i think last season was a one-off and a combination of Covid, injury (he definitely had a hamstring concern), poor form & then falling out with Scott P.  He is a striker that can cut it at any level and his 11 goals previously when promoted (for a poor team) is evidence of that. Ultimately if FFC do get promoted they need some consistency and common-sense rather then a chop/change approach. But that's a separate topic.

Great to see the 'old' Mitro back in what should be a great season for FFC

"better to be the best in the village than the worst in the city"

If only more footballers thought like this, how many have jumped into another team only to become a bench warmer or a journeyman, only to end up being sold off? Too many, such waste.

I recall Mitro talking about his kids being big fans of him and of Fulham, so he's totally settled in London, family must also be really happy, no reason to look anywhere, we are lucky to have such a gem, thank you Slavisa!

"better to be the best in the village than the worst in the city"

If only more footballers thought like this, how many have jumped into another team only to become a bench warmer or a journeyman, only to end up being sold off? Too many, such waste.

I recall Mitro talking about his kids being big fans of him and of Fulham, so he's totally settled in London, family must also be really happy, no reason to look anywhere, we are lucky to have such a gem, thank you Slavisa!



Loyalty has it's breaking point, if Man Utd, Liverpool etc came calling, he would go. We can paint rosy pictures, the reality is very different.

Yes, your post is a 'rosy picture', the Tottenham fans adore Harry Kane, he's getting paid a 'ridiculous' amount of money, but still wants to leave for Man City, that's the reality.

Mitro singed a new contract and said "better to be the best in the village than the worst in the city", yes players always say nice things but then you bring up Kane... where or when has Mitro shown that he wants to leave??? I don't follow Tottenham so I don't know that he wants to or his agent wants to or the fans of the teams want him to. What did i miss?? Did i miss the standard mentality of players, jumping to bigger club at the drop of a hat? Could he have not pushed to leave in the past or now??
He has a family and they are apparently (based on what i've read in the past) happy, moving clubs means also moving the family, Berbatov apparently came to Fulham due to London location and his family wanting it. The 'rosy' view always seems to be money for the player, no consideration of anything else.

Mate Mitro was off if Parker stayed manager. Parker didn't play him, and when he did, his football (which was anti goal scoring) didn't suit him at all and made him look half the player he was. Naive fans on here and fans of other clubs e.g. My mates would say "guess mitros not good after all" which infuriated me because they don't look deeper into what's going on at the club, all they judge it on is goals scored and being annoyed they started the season with him in their fantasy football team.

If you've got a relatively good knowledge of football you can work out that it wouldn't have been good to Mitros career and especially his international career to have stayed with Fulham had Parker remained in charge and I would have held no grudges against him for moving on. Then a loan/ transfer to somewhere else (can't remember where) fell apart because we couldn't agree terms but mitro was trying to get a move away.

Silva then came in and made it clear he was a fan of Mitro who since is scoring/ assisting every game for club and country and has signed a new 5 year deal saying "he's glad he's staying home" so I think I think most of us have found it blatantly obvious that has all only happened because of the switch between Silva and Parker.

Have to agree with Jeeves Mitro wasn't hanging around if Parker stayed ,doesn't mean he doesn't love the club just means he wants to play football and looks to my like he is the type of player that needs to be loved

Post by: winterline on September 12, 2021, 06:15:01 AM
It's blatantly obvious that he would not be here had Parker stayed, a follower of any sport would see that from orbit, it's like pointing out the sun. It's just wonderful to see a loved player staying, hopefully he stays fit and scores lots of goals, end of.

Speculation is saying IF, you never used an IF?? One post used it, another refereed to it, I called you out in both posts, never you say?? Wow, right there but it didn't happen...

Saying he is happy and his family is happy in London in no way shape or form means loyalty, that is nonsense, happy is NOT loyalty, zero need to interpret, my words were clear, "so he's totally settled in London, family must also be really happy, no reason to look anywhere..." again, NOT loyalty.

I recall Mitro talking about his kids being big fans of him and of Fulham, so he's totally settled in London, family must also be really happy, no reason to look anywhere, we are lucky to have such a gem, thank you Slavisa!



Loyalty has it's breaking point, if Man Utd, Liverpool etc came calling, he would go. We can paint rosy pictures, the reality is very different.


yes, Man Utd, Liverpool etc is a very rosy picture.

Yes, your post is a 'rosy picture', the Tottenham fans adore Harry Kane, he's getting paid a 'ridiculous' amount of money, but still wants to leave for Man City, that's the reality.

Mitro singed a new contract and said "better to be the best in the village than the worst in the city", yes players always say nice things but then you bring up Kane... where or when has Mitro shown that he wants to leave??? I don't follow Tottenham so I don't know that he wants to or his agent wants to or the fans of the teams want him to. What did i miss?? Did i miss the standard mentality of players, jumping to bigger club at the drop of a hat? Could he have not pushed to leave in the past or now??
He has a family and they are apparently (based on what i've read in the past) happy, moving clubs means also moving the family, Berbatov apparently came to Fulham due to London location and his family wanting it. The 'rosy' view always seems to be money for the player, no consideration of anything else.

Posting nonsense doesn't help your case, if Parker had stayed, do you think Mitro would have signed a new contract and still be at the club?

IF?? LOL...

If only this, if only that, if only the other, what if, if, if, if, if, if. Grow up, that means nothing, it's just speculation/fantasy. There is no point talking about what could have been, anyone can go on all day, and you claim my post was nonsense....(double facepalm)

YouR post is 'nonsense' ill thought out, Mitro has played every game this season under new manager, speculation / fantasy, NO REALITY.

"has played every game this season under new manager" everyone can see that...you are again bringing up the IF (quadruple faceplam)

You never really address anything do you, you accuse me of talking about 'loyalty' when I never used that word and say that that view is 'rosy' (great strawman there) , really... that's not hard to do. You say I post nonsense yet you posted made up speculation then speculation and now the obvious...

What 'speculation'? I always address things. You didn't use the word 'loyalty', but you expressed that in your posts, that is what you meant. Keep posting the nonsense, as long as it makes sense to you. This is my last post on the subject. Others can read back if they want and make up their own minds.


Speculation is saying IF, you never used an IF?? One post used it, another refereed to it, I called you out in both posts, never you say?? Wow, right there but it didn't happen...

Saying he is happy and his family is happy in London in no way shape or form means loyalty, that is nonsense, happy is NOT loyalty, zero need to interpret, my words were clear, "so he's totally settled in London, family must also be really happy, no reason to look anywhere..." again, NOT loyalty.

You posted a whole lot of nonsense after that initial nonsense post, now you've returned to the initial post to defend the nonsense you've posting. Totally pathetic. You need to read all your posts back if you can. You are clueless.

Mitro worked his socks off today. Not just 2 goals - the penalty was a BULLET! Today Mitro looked like the "beast" again and the ENVY of every Championship team who would desire to have a tough, savvy, seasoned, traditional striker like him. The second goal was Mitro of old - one hopes all Fulham fans see this and recognise the natural talent Alexander Mitrovic has for scoring goals.

He is worth £100million at least!!

Look at the Seri thread, people are talking about him being happy, and that he was unhappy before, so he is loyal now?? Like I said, happy is happy, loyalty is totally different, many people are happy with their jobs but are not loyal to them, you are just wrong. You stated that you thought i meant loyalty, that that was your reason for the your initial response, this is now the second time I'm explaining it to you, happiness does not therefore mean loyalty.

I didn't wana start a new one. I wanted to dig out the one I started a while ago. What a striker. What a fulham legend. I was in my seat in the Hammersmith end today when he nodded his second in. He's still my favourite striker of all time. He's surpassed Saha for me. Saha would have never dropped a league for us. I love you Mitro. You're my favourite fulham striker of my life time x

No idea what story you are referring to. However I'm not so sure about the assertion that he's not good enough for he Prem.  Last season was certainly not a fair representation of his potential.
