Yeah we don't know how good he'll turn out to be, but I think it's fair to say that he appears to have the raw materials/attributes that could be further coached/nurtured by someone like Howe. What his ceiling is will only become apparent in time.

It has to be said as well, how many duff players has Mitchell helped identify in his career? Not many it would seem. 


How much did he agree to give us for Sissoko?

TBF loads of our supporters were wanking themselves silly over the prospect of spending £30m on Eitike when he hadn't done much more than this kid at a similar age in a much inferior league.  Wilson is clearly staying, possibly forced by his current injury, so that means we need a third choice striker.  We aren't going to spend £40m on a third choice striker and a player of that calibre wouldn't come to play third choice.  Not being in Europe makes that even more certain.  So we have to be looking at a prospect.  Admittedly this lad's goal scoring hasn't been dynamite so far but he's been playing in an awful team at a very young age.  We (and apparently Liverpool who have also looked at him) must have seen something, we aren't in the business of signing shite for the sake of it anymore.  It's not a thrilling signing but clearly one we need and potentially a very promising one.

Kid's even got a "foreign" name, but because he's from Sheffield United and not Osasuna, there isn't the excitement. It's daft.

Mitchell had left by the time Sissoko was signed 😂👍 There was perhaps some overlap, but I've heard Sissoko being signed was the main reason Mitchell fell out with Levy 😉

Aye this is totally the case with a lot of our support.

If I had to guess, I would assume that some other cunt (Chelsea, Liverpool) comes in and gazumps us on personal terms/trophy prospects, but clearly there's ambition and the money to back it up.

Guehi's price must have gone up a bit after a decent Euros. He was already priced at around 50, 60m. Would be an almost perfect fit for that right centre back slot, albeit we wouldn't have replaced the passing skill of Schar. The money on the deal seems like it would be beyond us, and that's not even mentioning the wages, but we shall see I suppose. Not like Ornstein to spread shite, and presumably the club would have been well aware how much such a deal would cost.

Yeah it stinks of Palace and/or his agent instigating an auction by spoon feeding Ornstein. Cue a mass outpouring of hysteria when he joins a champions league team which is ok because we can blame Mitchell ☺️
