nufc123 Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 Just now, TRon said: Because he was responsible for bringing in Mitchell who was unable to do any deals for a year, then left at the beginning of a window where he should have had everything set up to earn his money. It's been a year of twiddling our thumbs effectively and left us with a shoestring team to conclude business at the most important time of the year. What about the guys on the top? The man has been ill for a year. I dont think you can blame Eales for Mitchells exit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was my original point, once he was deemed unfit to do the job someone else should have taken charge. But clearly he's been considered in good enough health to carry on so he has.

Gottlob Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 If we'd been smart we'd have flogged them Gordon then moved for Ekitike before they'd managed to free up more funds through the expected sales of Diaz and Nunez. Then with a gleam in our eyes and our double-pronged attack we could have turned to them and issued a hearty 'checkmate'. Yes we could have strung them along any old how, but whatever we've actually done has amounted to diddly squat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, we offered £1m more up front, but they offered more on the back end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 So I'm going to assume he's world class now that he's there instead of it being an insane overpay when he was coming here? Is that the talking point online now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 79M seems a lot for a player sold for 16.5M last summer. Sort of hope he fails but he wont as we were in for him and we dont seem to make mistakes with signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 Christ almighty, that's crazy. Except for maybe Spurs, the breakaway clubs are operating in a different universe to the rest of us. Top 4 could be a closed shop of Pool, City, Arse and Chelsea. Just got to hope Man U, Spurs and Villa have a poor summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
