What transfer targets ? We've been repeatedly told we're done after/if gkn signs
McDermott got given most of Baldini's portfolio when he got promoted in February. Poch has then taken more of it since he was promoted from coach to manager. Maybe those two were just squeezing out Mitchell?
Maybe that's the reason Mitchell is leaving? He couldn't put up with the influence of the new man who has Levy's ear. The one and only @Spursking ...So after all this time, it turns out that the infamous black box was simply @Spursking 's website. Who knew?!

I know this is a terrible necro - I was going to make a new thread in general football, but this article touches on some of the things I wish we were doing.

Or are we thinking we've now moved past that stage of being a feeder club and onto buying ready-made players? It seems under Conte that we're looking for the latter, but maybe the former is more sustainable? Definitely a debate to be had there.
One thing is not debatable: the talent developed at Monaco has been nothing short of staggering. Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy, Fabinho, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Thomas Lemar, and now Tchouameni and Badiashile. That's roughly half a billion pounds of transfer fees there.
It's a real shame that it didn't work out with Mitchell when he was with us. Maybe times have changed, and with new personnel we have more of an eye on developing talent from within. It's clear we need more continuity, and even if Conte won't be here for years upon years, I hope Paratici is. We will see.
