Newcastle United appoint Paul Mitchell as sporting director

[Remember Colo]

Heard on a podcast that West Ham backed out of signing someone (can’t remember who) as the agent was asking for £10m in agent fees. Greed to the extreme and football needs to do something about it to bring them under control. The fee for the player was only £30m!

Whilst I’m sure they provided a valuable service to players, that kind of request is just obscene and in no way justifiable.

It was Jonathan David

Explains why he's still at Lille after 3 seasons.

I like what I've heard from Mitchell specially nurturing more local talent thru the academy into the first team (then flogging them like young Elliot ) ;}.. Joking he had to go and wish the lad all the best at forest and seriously I don't think we've heard the last from that kid, always done a job for us, busy little player and always managed to express the pride in wearing the shirt because it was a dream come true to wear it.

Be a real shame if Anderson were to run down his contract so we could sign him back on a free

Hahaaa nice one,

five year deal but he won't be there for more than half that, the kids only 21 and a very capable young player who never let us down on the pitch, I can see withing 3years either villa or Liverpool will be in for him... That's how much I rate him

I do like Anderson, would have liked him to stay but I don't see him as someone who will be a massive loss. He's a decent PL level player but nothing more imo.

Fairy nuff

I once on another board suggested wor Andy Carroll could be as good as Torres, obviously they all laughed, only for a few years later the majority of the Torres sale was spent on taking Carroll to anfield therefore I kinda had the last laugh ( although in reality he never came close to being as good as torres)
