I'm sure there is, and I respect that Howe cares about those things. With that said, I'd rather let Mitchell find the next Heung Min Son and Sadio Mane for us - both of whom he brought in for cheap. Hamstringing him with what looks like a Howe Veto just seems to defeat the purpose of bringing in Mitchell in the first place. Of course, we don't know for sure to what extent Howe has say on transfers, but it seems a safe assumption that he has significant say, based on our lack of activity, and Mitchell's penchant for affordable youth talent, of which we've brought in almost zero since he's been here.

Yeah, and it’s baffling why it hasn’t been done already. We should have signed people by now. We are in the transfer window, one which we went into knowing key weaknesses in our squad, and one where it is pivotal to determine if we are going to stay up there competing, or fall away. A shop wouldn’t hire cashiers in November, and only let them start working the till in February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexred Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Madueke is who I wanted from the start of the window, absolute baller. Him and Gordon would've been something special. Mitchell needs to deliver now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if Murphy and Miggy got many more than the 3 goals Madueke scored in that second half, all season. He's surely gone now. Mbeumo would be just as good imo.

Turnbull2000 Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Liverpool, City, Arse, Chelsea, Villa, Brighton are all looking pretty decent, Spurs will be up there, and Man U will around as usual too. If this remains our squad for the season, even 7th could be a stretch, as the mindset doesn't seem quite there any more, and Howe seems somewhat unhappy as well.

Mazzy Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 No way they let Madueke go now. Even if they didn't want to before today, they definitely don't now. Just focus on a CB, can't keep going with Krafth as second choice until next year. Maybe find ourselves a RW in January if we're lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 I got backlash on here for suggesting Madueke earlier in the window. Looks like we've missed the boat now regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel like a happy, cohesive camp right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
