Who: Galahad The Gnome
When: 18/12/14
Where: COYS
A small update containing nothing especially exciting or unexpected .... which, given the recent turmoil, might be a good thing..
Early impression of Mitchell is of a very hard worker who is focused on producing two lists of names asap; one list of players for the first team squad that will fit MP's scheme, and the other of younger players to develop for the future. Some/many of the latter he had already earmarked while at Southampton. People around the club have been impressed at the thoroughness with which he collects and analyses player metrics.
He is expected to submit his list by the end of the weekend, then discussions will take place as to the feasibility of those targets for this window and the summer window, after which the player acquisition team will have a distilled list of targets for the upcoming window.
His marching orders include identifying at least two names for the first team squad that are viable targets for January.
At this stage there's not a great deal of confidence within the club that the half dozen players who MP would like to trim from the squad are of interest to other clubs at a price that is acceptable to DL, or (in one case) at a wage that is acceptable to the player. The more of them that can be moved on, the more players we can target.
