Agree on everything here except I think Wissa would be a really good signing if we can somehow get him for max £40m.

This guy and Isak deserve each other, absolute rats

I doubt Chelsea would let him go for less than 70, but I actually think Jackson would thrive in our system and would suit us a lot more than Sesko.

I'm all in on Jackson now.

Added bonus of giving Brentford more bargaining power to get more money from the Mbuemo sale?

Anyone know how the prize money compares between winning the Europa League and exiting the Champions League in the league phase?

Disagree with that, we got Livramento from Southampton when they were relegated.

It all just depends on how you read into it though. Howe’s interview after Staveley left and Mitchell came in wasn’t really presenting a united front. Your point about Mitchell bemoaning our existing strategy and apportioning blame, he’s just saying that there’s room for improvement (which there definitely is). I do agree that maybe he shouldn’t have distanced himself from the failure of the window but at the end of the day I’d personally prefer more communication than less.

I agree with you in part but also when referencing the ‘Newcastle tax’ it’s about us overpaying compared to what other clubs would have paid. Almost all our signings have turned out to be great value but we still might have overpaid compared to what other clubs would have. Edit to add that this ‘Newcastle tax’ might be a complete myth but I personally don’t see a problem with publicly setting a precedent that we won’t be taken advantage of in the market.

I think Mitchell speaks a lot of sense regarding the “Newcastle tax” and not submitting to it. But as mentioned on here many times throughout the window, Guehi can’t be the only player for £65 million and under that would have improved our defence. I also like that he’s basically shitting on Ashworth and saying the scouting processes he had in place are outdated

Froggy: “Ten Hag is a good manager, it was all Casemiro’s fault. We actually deserved to win that game, we beat them in XG and didn’t look that bad for 10 minutes in the first half”
