Mick's trip to France 11:00 - Feb 12 with 3935 viewsFinidiCentenary

A bit baffled as to why you've mentioned which top flight games were going on yesterday Phil.

What we need to know, is which 5th tier games were going on, and who might we have been looking at?

I'd say we want to know if Mrs McCarthy was there and how many cases he had

I think there's more chance that TC was with him.

I knew someone would say something like that! I was talking to a youth scout of another club recently and they were saying everyone's looking at young players in France at the minute as aside from the big clubs the youth set-ups aren't up to much and there's talent to be snapped up along the lines of Chris Goteni.

Steve McGavin - academy recruitment manager until crossing the border at the end of last year - said something similar to me when he recruited Idris El Mizouni and Lounes Foudil last year.

However, I doubt Mick would make a trip to check out young players in lower leagues in France, if he was making a professional rather than social trip then it would have been to one of the higher divisions.

Think PSG have lined Mick up if Unai Emery doesn't win the Champions League this season.....

Is the co-owner of Barnsley still something to do with Nice? Do we know where Mick was flying to, other than France? Elder Grizzly can probably find him on a plane manifest somewhere.

Was in the Eurotunnel rather than on a plane.

That is true! Hadn't realised the Barnsley-Nice connection when I wrote the story.

Not sure why because i've never seen him play but that made me laugh.

Truly impaired.

I meant playing at a similarly lowly level rather than making any comment on Goteni's ability per se, although he did OK in the game I saw him play for the U23s the other week, even if it was a 5-0 romp against Millwall.

MM made the point himself about Jonathan Kodjia playing at a relatively low level in France - third tier - only a couple of years before he broke through.

If he's on the train, Paris would be a nice half way point to meet someone for an initial chat over a coffee though.

Just to be clear, in no way do I think MM is meeting anyone with the intention of taking over at Barnsley. Conspiracy theories and wishful thinking are both fun though.
