Mitrovic was not perfect, but at his best he won Fulham points on his own - they lose a big slice of their identity without him
If Marco Silva is permitted to reinvest – and he says that he will be – they could buy two forwards, add depth to the squad and get over the loss of a striker who missed a third of last season anyway.
The more negative assessment – and it’s one that some Fulham supporters are edging closer towards: Mitrovic was the difference-maker. He wasn’t just a goalscorer – he was a presence and a mood and without him Fulham lose a large part of the identity over the last two seasons.and supporter engagement. They will believe that all the Mitrovic money will be reinvested when they see it.
Fulham must move quickly. Right now, their first-choice centre forward is Raul Jimenez, a 32-year-old with six goals in his last 55 Premier League appearances. Mitrovic was not perfect, but at his best he won Fulham points on his own. They lost eight league games last season without him in the team and seven of those defeats were by a single goal.
The fear is that, in his absence, Fulham will once again fall on the wrong side of those fine margins.
