Dominated the league and one of the top talents in world football is a bit over the top, howay [emoji38] 

 

Id be happy for him to be backup RW here next season I just think some are setting themselves up for disappointment with how raw he still is. 

 

He is one of the top talents in the world football though. Show me another 19 year old in his position with a full season of top league football & champions league with the stats below.

 

Edit: Add full international as well.

I always find this type of thinking a bit head-scratching.  We’ve literally no idea if Minteh is PL-level, yet we’d get rid of half our squad ahead of him.

My thinking with him is how much of a downgrade could he possibly be on Almiron or Murphy? Can't see this 40m figure being even close to real, I doubt any bids even being worth the profit over the value of him potentially being another bargain in the Schar category.

 

The idea of Gordon and Minteh's pace on the wings is exciting with Isak's positional awareness and sharpness and I love the thought of this being the first of many hidden gems we find!

 

I'd definitely take 40m though no brainer hahaha.

I would definitely reject the 40m bids. People should realize that Minteh is probably just 10-20 games away from being and 100m prospect. That’s how crazy the football world nowadays. 40m is nothing for a top prospect.

He could also be 10-20 games away from being a £10m prospect.  It’s not exactly nailed on and playing well in Holland doesn’t necessarily translate into world-beater.

Absolutely, reckon we always had an eye to selling him what we bought him tbh. Can’t be mad about getting 40m for someone who has never kicked a ball for us.

Alan Hull is from Newcastle also. Not sure if he is a NUFC fan though.

Did anyone mention Sam Fender? Newcastle has the best music tradition of the EPL. Don't forget Liverpool has to split the Beatles with Everton and they get Ringo and George.

I mean Manchester may have something to say about it when it also comes to music tradition.

Yeah, was thinking that too.  From the mid-70s on Manchester has far greater sway than anywhere else on British music.  Manchester certainly dwarves Liverpool in that regard, Beatles or not.

Yeah was gonna mention the madchester scene but in the 80s you also had bands like the Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, Stone Roses. Crazy high level bands

100%.  They make up a serious chunk of my listening on a regular basis.  Can’t say that applies to any act from Tyneside tbh.  We produced a load of acts that appealed to yuppies - Sting, Bryan Ferry, Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits.  I’d rather enjoy my commute to work in silence than listen to any of them.

Yeah like Longstaff and Man U supposed £50m interest.

 

That aged well...
