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

Keep Murphs for versatily, sell Miggy (as much as I like him and if he’s willing to play ball) to SA for a decent fee, get Minteh in as understudy to a new first choice RW would be the ideal scenario I suppose. If finances are stretched and we need to prioritise other positions (center forward and center back spring to mind, perhaps left back and goalkeeper too) then I’d be happy to either give Minteh the chance to make the position his own or loan him out again and go for a number 1 RW.

Always hard to judge a player in the Dutch league, but the fact he’s lightening quick should help him convert to the PL easier.

 

Seems to have a knack for dispossessing players high up the pitch as well, which will lend itself to our high pressing style.

Alright @Ikon, you ready for some more..?

 

Willem van Hanegem, Feyenoord legend in his weekly column in AD:

 

Quote

People can keep grumbling about Yankuba Minteh, but I'm on the edge of my seat with him," Van Hanegem begins in his column in Algemeen Dagblad. “He defends at the highest pace and he keeps looking for his man.”

Van Hanegem does not agree with this criticism of Minteh. “Of course he sometimes makes the wrong choice. So what?”, De Kromme protects the Newcastle United loanee. “At Manchester United, all players make the wrong choices almost the entire match and we pretend that Erik ten Hag just needs a little time,” he concludes.

 

ESPN commentator Kenneth Perez:

 

Quote

''He has developped beyond the roling-the-dice player. He is an example of a player who is so lucky to now be playing for Feyenoord at such a young age. Especially that he met Slot and that he can learn all those tactical things."

I'd get shot of Murphy and keep Almiron unless we got a silly saudi offer for him. Gordon/Barnes on the left and new RW/Minteh on the right with Almiron as a decent impact sub.

Cheers Unbelievable. Always great to see and read stuff like this ?

Hyping our exciting prospect and slating Manure all in a single quote. Lovely stuff. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Quite a few Feyenoord fans did appear to be absolutely slating him over the winter despite some decent output. However, it's Twitter, and some of our fans on there are the stupidest lot going.

This is an incredible shot at Man U.

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

 

Yeah totally,

I don't get why people think selling a talent has much to do with Bruno staying.

 

Bruno is contracted for another four seasons, he only leaves if the release clause is triggered.

What if he's Sadio Mane or Mo Salah. 

 

Really like the Sadio Mane comparison. Looks like he has a similar tenacious and explosive style.

Yeah I'd keep one of them as 3rd choice LW & RW. Whoever we could get the most cash for, sell basically.

He turned down a move to KSA just over two months ago

Wasn’t aware he turned it down, just that for some reason it broke down. Maybe with some more reflection and preparation time he’s now open to such a move. Think that’s our best bet of getting a decent fee.

 

I like Miggy though, so no averse to him staying. Needs to sort out his fitness issues though, but that goes for half our squad at the moment.

As you know, my boss who is a massive supporter of theirs has been telling me this all along!

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?

 

 

 

100%. That’s exactly why we bought him in the first place.

[Weezertron]

And if he does well in Porto or Benfica we can buy him from them for £70m.

He does look absolutely class like. Great little passes and decision making. Was this every touch or did he make any errors at all? 

[Ginola14]

looks like an exciting prospect so I hope we keep him 

 

but if Ajax can get the kind of crazy money they got for Antony, then who knows what he could be worth to us if he continues to develop there and grabs headlines

I would say 25m is too cheap for his potential. He’s just 19. 

[Conjo]

Think it would be a huge mistake to sell him. He's got the traits for our style of play which is fairly uncommon to find in top level wingers, he's quick, eye for goal and a pass and his name is fucking Minteh. Match made in heaven.

The pressing and winning the ball back in the ajax game is what makes it for me. Howe will love him as long as he can keep up that intensity. He looks like miggy with more range.

He might not stay anyway, he's going to have a year left on his contract next season, he could just run it down and then we get nothing. He doesn't really have fitness issues though, this is the first time he's been out for any sort of lengthy spell in a long while.
