Is he our RW solution? Allowing money to be invested elsewhere? 

He may be one day, just hope we don’t have that mentality or expectation of him to be a solution to anything at this stage. Would like him to go on loan again next season too. Better than sitting at the end of the bench and getting a 10 min cameo once in a while 

[Conjo]

Best case scenario we get European competition next season. We sell one of Murphy or Almiron and buy a new RW.

1st choice  - New RW

2nd choice - Minteh

3rd choice cover for both RW & LW - Murphy or Almiron

Still a little raw apparently, likely to go on loan to a promotion chasing championship club next season, no doubt there will be a recall clause in it though. 

 

Can't see Minteh being happy with that tbh. From the Champions League and playing for a club like Feyenoord, to playing Millwall away on a Tuesday night. 

[Myleftboot]

Brrrrrrrrrrring him home

[Big Geordie]

Let the lad have another year where he is - probs gonna get CL footvall again.

[Upthemags]

Don't see a world where he's not brought in next season - he'll be 20 by then and can immediately make an impact for us

[Menace]

That video is pretty mental - especially if some deranged Ajax fan sees him

[kingxlnc]

Having the impact I thought Kuol would have when he signed 

[OverThere]

If he's at a standard where he can play CL and look decent why would we be loaning him anywhere especially given our RE options are Miggy or Murphy 

[Elma]

In the (admittedly short) highlights clip I saw he made Almiron look two-footed but, fair play, he's having an impact in terms of goals and assists. Interesting that he started ahead of the much more experienced Jahanbakhsh.

[Conjo]

 

Better quality. Minteh involved in quite a few chances that didn't lead to goal too. Looks so fucking fast when he accelerates. Like he has boosters

That's a big risk arguably. I'd say he's the answer to our 2nd option at RW. We need a proven quality player in that position and Minteh to come off the bench or play in the early rounds of cups.

 

It does mean that Miggy and maybe Murphy can be sold though without any real doubt that we can cover that position comfortably if we get a big signing in as well.

Yeah, this definitely.

 

It can seem incredibly harsh given just how much effort those two lads put in, but I won't be sorry to see Almiron or Murphy go as footballers.  As characters, they're beyond reproach.

[Magpie]

Saw something on X yesterday about him needing to go back out on loan for work permit reasons. Guessing that might be a load of tosh???

[Conjo]

He probably wouldn't qualify automatically for not playing 75% of the games for Gambia the last 2 years or whatever the requirement is these days, but the club can request an FA Exceptions Panel to "consider the player’s experience and value in order to determine whether a Governing Body Endorsement should nevertheless be granted." and assume he'd get it after going through that process.

If someone on the continent like a Porto or Benfica offered us £25-30 million for him this summer, would you take it if it helped our FFP and keep Bruno/Isak?

If us selling Minteh is the difference between keeping Bruno then yeah, we'd be crazy not to sell. Minteh could yet be the next Demarai Gray or Hudson-Odoi.

Sure throw in a next sale % and a buy back clause and it’s the perfect deal

What if he's Sadio Mane or Mo Salah.

Personally no - Minteh is all upside based on what we've seen. Could easily see him fetching 40, 50, 60 million quid one day. Chance he flames out sure, but these are the risks we need to be taking as we try to overcome FFP imo

[The College Dropout]

If we keep him and buy a new RW, i'd only sell one of Murphy or Almiron.

I'd still rather have Bruno for another 4/5 years.

Very similar to Bruno how he gets his body between the opposition and the ball, only that he's twice as fast as him.
