Mitchell leaving June 25

[Nufcian]

Paul Mitchell, our Sporting Director, is leaving next month!

Not sure what this will do to our transfer plans?

Looks like a hell if a job there, I?d like to throw my hat in

At least it seems to have been handed in a less messy way than the Ashworth fiasco and hopefully the club have known about this for some time and have a plan in place.

I'm sorry, but this is fucking ridiculous.

Most important transfer window in God knows how long and we lose the guy who was in charge of it all just before it starts.

Guess Eddie's got his way.

Yasir and Eddie spoke. Eddie's been given the funds he needs to get Premier League players in.

So I'm guessing it'll be Trafford, Mbuemo, Delap etc rather than the more exotic names.

I'm not made at it but I was looking forward to some Gems from the continent.

Perhaps this is a case that Steve Nickson & the team had pretty much already identified the bulk of the targets that Mitchell was looking at. Or, we've just got to a point where Mitchell wanted total autonomy and Howe wanted to have more of a say.

If we look back to the last time Eddie Picked all the players. We got Bruno, Dan Burn, Trippier etc and then a year later Tonali.

I ain't made at it.

So long as we don't go and purchase Solmanic the Donkey From Spurs I'm fine with it.

Not sure this is a good signal for whats ahead this summer.

Not sold on Mbeueno for the money that would need to be involved.

I?d read the Man Utd interest resulted in a 50m price tag? I think that?s pretty damn reasonable given his contributions over the last few years for Brentford.

On Mitchell, I?m assuming that?s then ?mutual consent? line means that we have a clear plan how to proceed, and if there was any concern about us being able to operate in the summer (with or without a replacement) or had any worries that he would join another club and go after our targets then it wouldn?t be so quick to happen.

Like Raga I was hoping to see some gems from the continent come in, and maybe there still could be? our transfer kitty is probably pretty big, but it will bring in far fewer players if we only bring in Prem players? we get the experience as a positive, but we are still short of depth in numbers.

Guess we wait to see if a replacement comes in pretty quick, and if one does or not who we bring in over the summer.
