Alex Mitchell - will he return?

My best guess would be the below:

He probably wants to move to us. Currently I believe that Wycombe have offered both a better transfer fee and contract.

If he was going to make that move, I can’t see why he’d be on tour with Charlton.

I’m hoping that he’s trying to hold out for a better offer from us.

Most of that is guesswork, but I can’t see why he’d wouldn’t already be a Wycombe player knowing the offers they’ve made.

Maybe Mitchell is clear in his own mind that he wants to join Argyle and has been told that depending on the deal the club manages to do to bring a keeper in they will be able to review the financial package they are able to offer him. Maybe he's quite understanding of that situation, and so happy to sit and wait to see how things unfold.

Charlton can't force him to move to another club (permanently or on loan), but if he doesn't move they are left having to pay his wages for another season. He could always return to Argyle on loan, and if he isn't in Charlton's plans, then they are hardly going to refuse to loan him to us and turn down the opportunity to claw back some of the money they will have to pay him in the process.

If Mitchell really wants to come back to play at Home Park then I reckon he'll be able to one way or another. I think everything depends on just how much he wants to be based down here.

A bit like Morgan Whittaker perhaps.

Another loan wouldn’t make sense for Charlton as he will be a free agent this time next year so they would miss out on a transfer fee so can’t see that happening.

I think we might need to just accept he’s not our guy. We go again.

Your optimism is to be admired 👍
Charlton are looking to trim costs, Jones did an interview a couple of days back saying so.

They can either sell with a year remaining on his contract, loan out again with a larger percentage of his wages covered but receive no transfer fee or have him around doing nothing and then footing 100% of his wages for the next 12 months.

It has to be 1 or 2.

I can’t see a loan at all. They have an offer on the table from Wycombe and us.

Mitchell does have player power, but I can see him wanting to sit in their reserves for a year. If we can’t compete, I’m sure he’ll choose the Wycombe move.

With how much I believe he wants to come here, that’d be a real kick in the teeth.
