The Prophet Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I like Eddie's method of signing good eggs to build on a solid dressing room, but Mitchell is right, we need to take more risks in foreign markets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Do we really believe that Howe is stupid enough to expect or demand a level of control that probably doesn’t exist at any top-level club? Surely he knows enough to work within a modern football setup, he’s a smart young manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 32 minutes ago, gbandit said: Holding onto our best players while bringing in the calibre of player Brighton have signed in recent years and then keeping them rather than selling them would have us up consistently top four Nah I still think we have to sell. Brighton have far lower revenues and are typically nowhere close to their FFP limit. A souped up Brighton that invest everything they can is a good model imo.

But I'm choosing optimism / sticking my head in the sand for now. Howe will be fine and have influence in player recruitment, but he needs to buy into Mitchell's approach and help to evolve beyond recruiting players with reputable names on English soil. That is not sustainable as, and I don't blame them, nee fucker is going to do us any favours in selling us their more talented players. I LOVE Eddie, but he's stubborn and almost predictable in his stubbornness, but to his credit, he's a very talented coach and player manager. I would prefer he have less control over transfers, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fully on board with that... so long as he doesn't think we are Brighton or Brentford. We need to have more ambitions. There’s fantastic value out there in Europe - it’s where we need to do the bulk of our shopping imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were you shocked about? He came in, supported the current approach to player recruitment, it didn't work out, he's admitted as much and now has the autonomy to build the network as he see's fit. He's found some very good players at previous clubs and I hope he does the same for us while Eddie has the players performing at their best on the pitch.

He for me at least seems to be trying to deflect the blame and place it all on Howe. Now maybe that was the case but it’s unnecessary to bring it up in public, especially after the win at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I’ll start giving him some credit if and when we bring in these quality players from Europe and other markets at good prices but Howe is far more important to us than him. Does Howe need to be flexible when it comes to player recruitment, possibly or even probably but everything Mitchell does has to be about finding a way of working for Howe. There’s compromise needed on both sides but it’s Mitchell’s job to work for Howe (even if he is his boss) and Howe’s job to let him do the work for him. They’ll take a while to trust each other but I’m going to take some convincing on Mitchell for sure and that’ll only come with repeated successful windows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
