HayDen Traces Posted Tuesday at 15:29 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:29 Worked with aggressive corporate blokes in the past (who think their shit dont stink). They always end up leaving a mess and pissing ppl off. Mitchell always felt like one of those to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted Tuesday at 15:29 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:29 Mitchell's CV wasn't all that IMO. Respectable but nothing more. Son, Mane and Van Dijk were already well known, and we had been in for Dele Alli at the same time as Spurs. He jumped from role to role without really doing any stint for more than a couple of years if I'm not wrong? It's ridiculous to say this also, but even visually didn't fit the overall picture being the scruffy chubster that he is :)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted Tuesday at 15:37 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:37 Bruno was on every data nerd's radar and many were amazed that we signed him and not Arsenal or Liverpool. Tonali is way more enigmatic and is loved by folk who watch and feel games, not folks who like analyze them with numbers. The "should have moved him on" issue is more complicated than it appears and tends to rely on hindsight. Wilson was still very good when available in 23/24, scoring 9 (two pens) in 990 league minutes. The huge dropoff has come this season, not the one before. A maximize value-based approach to squad management may have driven us to get some cash for Murphy last summer due to his age, but would have missed him getting all those goal contributions.

Collage Posted Tuesday at 15:43 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:43 I’m a little bit concerned. We’ve heard quite a lot about Eddie being a control freak and working with a DoF seems like a real problem for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little bit concerned - the last time we had to wait for a new DoF to be installed, we fucked around for an entire transfer window and signed no one. We'd had 2 more like it since. If we're back to the drawing board regarding signings, there'll be no one coming in early doors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted Tuesday at 15:52 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:52 Richard Hughes and Howe go way back to their playing days if I remember correctly. It will have to be someone Howe is comfortable with. Think they should just give it to Nickson. All these high profile DOFs ain't going to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted Tuesday at 15:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:53 This doesn't sound great on Eddie's part mind two directors of football having no say in transfers basically making them pointless. For all we know Mitchell could of had a list of top potential players lined up and now that will be down the swanny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Tuesday at 15:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:53 It depends why he left though, we don't know it's anything to do with power etc with Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
