Mings ain't what he used to be?
How about this passionate English legend? I heard he's the best of his generation!Where for art though my hard-tackling, bastard-hard DM prince.
Please don't ban me
Been on record saying the same for some time.
Saw him play for Italy vs Ireland U21's late last year and he wasn't all that impressive on scale. As in, he was obviously really good but I expected more, and a few adventurous passes he tried went askew.
Seen him twice since then and he was unreal. Best player in a useless team. Expect to see him at one of the big Italian sides this summer.
Would love for us to have Theo Hernandez at LB but seems happy at Milan.
"He Has Liked This Tweet."
Suggesting he must have read it before the tweet was even posted.... Hmmmmm.
No right back or forward links seems a bit odd. Early days i suppose. These with a holding midfielder are the 3 most important. Personally think we should be lumping all our budget into those and forget about the 5th centre back.
Is that a bald spot I see.....?????? That should knock a few mil off his value.I kid you not, I'm translating something for a hairdressing trade fair. It's about how to style a man bun this summer.
It's going to happen, isn't it?

I wonder if he's his No1 target because Danny boy likes the price tag and he's under strict orders?
He'd have to do something about his hair first.
The only logical conclusion is that they are someone else'.s choice
Hmmmmm.......wonder who that could be?
I have posted this previously (but maybe elsewhere not in here) but here is a link to the scout 7 podcast - episode 14, where Rob Mackenzie (who was our head recruitment analyst under Mitchell - who resigned with him - who we had pinched from Leicester) talking about how they scouted and analysed the signing of Janssen - who we then signed on 12 June 2016 - nearly a month before Batshuayi signed for Chelsea.
This is MacKenzie talking about the profiling of Janssen.

I honestly think your notion of Batshuayi being the straw that broke the camels back is bollocks. If you scour the internet you'll find plenty of theories - I read one that said it was that Levy didn't want to pay for Njie and Nkoudou. I read the usual "Levy's tinkering" but I also read that it was believed Mitchell doesn't like to stay long in his jobs (around 2 years) and that he'd left to go to another job. Maybe he'd been tapped up and that's why Levy forced him to sit out his contract on gardening leave? Which is what we did to get him. Do you not think that if they'd had a real bust up over something transfer related Levy would have just let him leave ?
Pending Tottenham departure of Paul Mitchell a cause for concern
Even when it seems all is sunshine and roses with Tottenham Hotspur, there is always a fly in the ointment. Paul Mitchell, who was recruited to join Spurs from Southampton along with his former and now current colleague Mauricio Pochettino, is leaving the club at some point in the near future...

Based on the statements from Mitchell, it seems he is leaving for another club for whatever reason, and there’s no begrudging him for that. His spells at each of his individual clubs have been around two years, and he’s been with Spurs for about that long.
I am categorically not ruling out anything, but if Mitchell thought he was coming here to blow the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool out the water with transfer dealings then that's pretty daft on his part. And I do not believe that. I also do not think it was Batshuayi (we were never going to pay 40m for a back up striker).

He's a kind of Traore wannabe. Gifted though.
