Think you're right tbh but I think the whole thing is a symptom of Howe seeing off another TD. There again, Mitchell has been here for a month working his notice so am now thinking has an agreed list of transfers ever existed for this window? Who decided we'd wait till this Monday when Villa will apparently sell the likes of Jacob Ramsey to us?? (🤷‍♂️) Howe's "speed" comments must have been aimed squarely at Mitchell. So looking at all that are we still working to a plan laid out by someone who is leaving the business next week?.. we haven't had "speed".. if Eddie had the clout we were thinking he had after the champions league qualification why didn't he tell Eales to put Mitchell on gardening leave for a month and sign a NDA? It's too early to judge obviously but looking at the current situation this is a fuckin dogs dinner and all these fuckers including Howe share a portion of the blame. Did Mitchell come in and immediately see the gig as a power struggle between him and Howe? If he did that's fuckin idiotic. If Howe has gone out of his way to object to things Mitchell has suggested then he's a prick too. Eales seems to be clocking in and taking the money for little in the way of leadership. Weve had our best season in six decades in spite of all this...it really shouldn't be as chaotic as this though...

Given the money involved I’d love to see a foreign team win it.

If I see no movement from us by the end of July I'll start to get a bit miffed but I'm chill AF for once.

As others have said, until 1 July we are still in the old cycle. Yes, others have spent on players Howe would like but until then we are stuck with PSR bargains. I know we could be agreeing deals now for July but even then we can't pay 250k per week which is what others are offering.

We were linked with Botman well before we signed him tbf. We were fighting Milan for him.

Been linked to by press who didn't know fuck all about Botman, Bruno or Sandro. Even Popes signing came out of the blue. It's all speculation probably bar Guehi who that cunt at palace leaked as he wanted a bidding war.

Don't worry, City's 115 charges might mean that there'll be a fire sale......

"Chilling" won't change Howe being pissed off that the players he wanted to sign have gone elsewhere. That's my main issue. Not that we haven't spent yet. There's plenty of time left in the window. But every player we've been linked with thus far is pretty much signed or in the process of signing for another club.

Included transfers organised last summer and some that aren’t even done in that list man

Don't forget as well because of the club world cup shite it's changed the transfer window dates.

The South American lads are saving this tournament like. Especially after embarrassing Chelsea

It's still June, we have "some" money available but we don't have too much room to manoeuvre until July in PSR world. Chill ffs.

Expecting us to move before the PSR deadline and being angry is on you tbh. Howe pretty much came out and said that was the plan. We’ll sniff around the clubs on the cusp of fucking that up before anything else.

I reckon Matt Berry saw these as a kid and he’s built a career on them

All of those clubs you mention are blank cheque clubs despite the occasional noises that they're skint or in PSR trouble. It fucking stinks we're not allowed to invest in the club to grow revenue, absolutely reeks of protectionism which football bodies skirt around or turn a blind eye to because they're scared of losing those clubs. Where the fuck do the football authorities get the notion that it's perfectly acceptable to draw a line in football's ever changing sands at some point this century and say 'that's it, these are our selected clubs from now on and it can't change bar temporary blips which can be put right'. Honestly, football really fucks me off these days and the media don't help to put it mildly, the likes of Liverpool, Man U etc should list the the likes of sky and TNT as actual partners because they've played their part in the growth of those clubs over the years and it's actually getting a lot worse. I sometimes wish I could take out the NUFC chip in my brain and toss it all off at times.

It's time we sold Hayden to a PIF sister club for £300 million.

It does feel like those at the top of the club appear to just be treading water. No major transfers in ages, no movement on a new stadium or training ground. Eddie Howe is the man holding it all together. The sooner we get a new CEO in the better.

It's still early days in the window man. Chill

I think Mitchell probably was a good appointment on paper. His recruitment record is impressive and he had been doing a massive job, basically running the technical side of the entire red bull operation (what Klopp is doing now). But for whatever reason, it didn’t work. None of us know exactly what went on but it feels like Howe, his nephew and Nickson are now calling the shots on recruitment. The club need to back them after three austerity transfer windows. Surely they will. Can’t expect Howe to work miracles every season

Anyone believing that it would be a Hot Mitch Summer should remember who made this prediction. Also a big shout out to the posters who questioned the “Lads, we have people in charge that know what they are doing” rhetoric.

I get some of these names were probably just paper talk, but Trafford, Guehi, Delap, Cunha and Mbuemo were linked for so long by so many different journalists you can only assume they were genuinely on Howe's wanted list. He chooses his words carefully when speaking to the media so Howe's comments that we need "speed" in this transfer window were said with purpose, because he knew other clubs were hovering around his targets and were ready to bid early. To be 3 weeks in and see £700m spent on (amongst others) - Frimpong, Kerkez and Wirtz to Liverpool - Reijnders, Cherki and Ait Nouri to City - Cunha and (almost) Mbuemo to Man U - Delap, Estevao, Essugo, Paez and Sarr to Chelsea - Tel and a couple of others to Spurs - Zubimendi to Arsenal While our announcements include exciting news that Mitchell is leaving after less than a year, we are 3 years into scoping out a new training ground we are still no closer to making a decision on a new ground. Let's make final judgement at the end of the window, but it's been a fucking anti-climactic start after what was one of the best seasons in our history. The likes of Isak, Bruno and Tonali won't be hanging around much longer if Willock, Wilson, Targett and Longstaff are still getting minutes next season.

Probably means they don’t have to sell Sememyo now. Or they’ll just extract £90m from Chelsea when they inevitably come calling

According to Mark Douglas we were https://inews.co.uk/sport/bournemouth-70m-liverpool-newcastle-man-utd-targets-3695882?ito=link_share_article-top

Hot Mitch summer is coming to the boil. I could barely sleep last night, fucking sweltering
