It's worth noting that the Swansea v Fulham game featured 5 Scottish midfielders that aren't getting anywhere near the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was more than a championship striker he wouldn’t be there. He would be scoring at EPL level or the European equivalent.

Watched an interview with Gerrard, Lampard and Ferdinand a few years old talking about how their generation failed, he said something about all the foreign lads couldn’t wait for international games while the English guys at Liverpool were less than up for it. We’ve a similar problem and with less natural talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has probably stayed at Fulham because of wages and Fulhams unwillingness to sell him. Robertson, Fraser and mcginn have all played championship football and I would consider them above it. Anyways Regardless of that, he's easily a level above anything we have atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson, Fraser and McGinn are all established EPL players - fair enough McGinn has only been in the division for half a season but hasn't looked at out of place. They are also all players that are on the way up. Mitrovic on the other hand is no better than a championship level player. He played three seasons in the EPL - two with Newcastle and one with Fulham - he was relegated in two of these seasons - not that that was all down to him - in the other he was loaned from Newcastle to Fulham who were in the Championship at that time. That all points to his level being in the Championship and no higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes our own players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We’ve plenty of quality in the midfield as noted above. Heard lots about Man Utd missing McTominay yesterday. 5 Live referred to Pogba and McTominay as ‘their 2 best players’. Robertson and Tierney have to play. Greg Taylor is looking good as well. How many left backs can we accommodate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mcginn gets relegated with Aston villa and stays at the club due to better wages and villa being unwilling to sell then does that make mcginn not good enough for the epl. There are plenty of players playing in the championship that are quite capable of playing epl but they have chosen to stay with their club due to wages and the clubs unwillingness to sell on the cheap. Look at cairney for example, Fulham rejected huge bids for him which has meant he has stayed in the championship for most of his career. There are plenty of west brom and Stoke players who have stayed with their clubs due to them being high payers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bids I was talking about are for cairney, pretty sure Fulham turned down some big bids for him in the region of 20m. There's been talk for years of big clubs wanting him but Fulham don't want to sell him. Doesn't mean he can't cut it in the epl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a good return either and his spell at Newcastle was equally uninspiring. We're discussing Mitrovic, I'm not sure what relevance Cairney has.

He's relevant because you are claiming mitrovic is just a championship striker when he's clearly only there because of money and the fact that Fulham will most likely get promoted again. Just because a player plays in the championship doesn't mean they are not good enough for the epl. Cairney is a player who is good enough for the epl imo.
