Of course it's made it easier for the ****house clubs to rotate and basically take it easy in the group stage.
Don't forget Mitchell is all about spotting and developing youth, over marquee signings. So it will be an interesting summer window to see how the 2 approaches of immediate upgrades vs long term progress are balanced this summer. Especially when we should (based on various reports) have a tidy sum to spend. Will be interesting to see how much pressure the owners put on seeing some instant success, over still remaining patient and building slowly but steadily for long term success.
Dibling would be stupid if he went to a "big" London club now considering he already left Chelsea because he didn't like living there plus he'd have to try to usurp Saka/Wanyeri at Arsenal, Bowen/Kudus at West Ham, Kukulevski/Brennan Johnson at Spurs & Neto/Palmer/Madueke and a ton of other FM wonderkids that have all been bought by Chelsea already. You'd think any young talent like Dibling would back himself to compete with Murphy to get game time at RW.
I believe he got home sick and he's from the South Coast, so this is why I can't see him picking the North East. I heard that anyway, but maybe he just like myself doesn't like busy cities.
Chelsea are disgusting, mind. Well documented 'keeper issues', yet have two first choice keepers plus Petrovic and Kepa on loan. We've got John Ruddy on the bench.
This has got to be a ****ing pisstake. The ****er hasn’t played why on ****ing earth would we be keeping him around?
Nah, it's genuine. Extended until summer 2026. Possibly so we can fetch a couple of million from that Turkish club that was interested pre-injury.
Like a new signing. We said we needed a new RCB. Sorted. And still money left in the pot to spend. Amazing business.
I don't think he owes us anything, however I agree that this extension is likely to allow for a small fee
