Not sure if the recent silence re Guehi is a good thing or not, but I'm tending to think it is.

 

We haven't tended to give up on our reported targets in the past and if we haven't in this case then I'd prefer no noise about it. I'll still be delighted if we get him, at whatever price the club thinks is right.

Would you? Let’s be honest he doesn’t support and his options are looking rather good, why would he sweat it?

No I wouldn't, but then I don't earn enough in a month to set me up for life, and a few weeks wages wouldn't make a difference.

 

Fair point though

Ousmane Diomande for around 50m.. why they are not all over this I’ll never know 

Maybe they have already explored it and he doesn’t want to come? You’ve got no idea who they have or haven’t talked too.

Don’t understand the logic of this comment, other than being something plucked out of thin air to moan about.


There’s very little good examples of a DoF signing players from a previous club / connections that turn out good long term.

Seems anecdotal that statement. In general people tend to gravitate towards people they've worked well with before, and that is usually considered a positive thing. It's kind of odd that you don't mind this for Howe (Wilson, Kelly, etc.) but suddenly when it's a DoF it becomes a problem. I'd love for Mitchell to use his inside knowledge of Monaco's academy to try and poach their best prospects for example.

I’d say it’s less of a problem for a manager because the remit is often different. For a DoF to go to previous club / specific agents, it’s red flags for me.
