The Prophet

Joking aside, I'm not sure Guehi is worth £60 million, but at this point I'm tired of talking about budgets and PSR. It'd be an exciting signing that potentially sorts our defence out for a considerable amount of time. I hope we're equally as ambitious looking at the RW. Throwing our hat in the ring for Olise suggests we will be. I'll worry about the PSR hangover later. At that point anyone who wants to can say "I told you so".

Cool, no one cares.

£60 million plus. Crickey.

"It is not clear how advanced the negotiations are or what fee has been discussed, though, and the fear at St James’ Park is that others will attempt to hijack the deal." Journalism.

Same agent as Gordon, Wilson, Miley, and Lascelles won't hurt mind.

Not getting excited about this. It'd be an amazing coup, but sounds like it's very preliminary stages. Whiffs of Palace leaking an enquiry to flush out other clubs.

Caulkin been told to earn his corn?

Most of my department work in London. It's a who's who of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United fans, with the odd Spurs or West Ham fan.

Was chatting to a Spurs fan last week, but completely forgot to post it. He basically said with Mitchell, if any deal gets too loud (i.e.Thiaw), you can usually dismiss it. He does things such as pay relatively generous agent fees to ensure things get done quickly with minimum fuss.

I can't get my head round the "underwhelming" comments. Part of the reason Mitchell was brought in was to help navigate PSR. He's a great eyeball scout who found plenty of rough gems for both Southampton and Spurs, before they become household names. We absolutely still need a plug and play CB and a RW, but nothing wrong with this type of signing for third choice striker. It's low risk with a high upside.

It probably confirms Wilson is staying too.

The comments whiff of entitlement. This is exactly the sort of signing Mitchell was brought into make.

Fire up the thread.

Absolutely superb covering of all bases here. A masterclass.

Looked more sound from a positional point of view too.

This is based off an opinion piece from the Echo's equivalent of Lee Ryder, fwiw.

That's a big if.

Why would we shut it down?
