Mitchell not stressed with Newcastle's miserable transfer window
Newcastle sporting director Paul Mitchell is not breaking a sweat after failing to land Marc Guehi and Anthony Elanga in the summer.
“Is there a point of value for every single player and did, maybe, this football club need to draw a line in the sand of ‘we’re not going to overpay?’," said Mitchell.
“Looking at the players we have signed – and we’ve signed some really good players – could we say that some of those players, potentially, cost more money than they should have done in the market at that current context? You probably could have that argument and discussion. For this club to come out and say actually, we really liked this player and thought he could have brought benefit to this squad, but [ask] is it at any cost? Is it at financial risk to the organisation and our growth and our plan?
“I don’t think we should do that. That’s a personal choice. Others might have a different opinion on that but I do take that part of my job seriously. Would it have been easier to sit in front of you all with hallmark signings that cost a load of money? Of course, it would. But ultimately have them at the detriment to Newcastle’s ability to grow and high strategic ambitions for Paul Mitchell’s glorification – that’s not the job I’m paid to do. I’m paid to do the job in the short, medium and the long term.”
