The fee is likely reasonable.

We would rather sell Minteh.

 

We were going to do some FFP workaround with Everton and would've taken DCL as part of it (I assume he's not our number 1 choice but we like him). But Lyon's bid is serious so we can take their offer and sign a striker higher on our list.

 

Spot on.

 

Whatever Lyon are offering will be more appealing, even if the initial fee ends up lower.

 

I think him not going to another PL club will satisfy a few.

It looks very much like we are happy with whatever Lyon are proposing, and are trying to push Minteh in that direction.

 

I reckon this comes to a conclusion super quick.

 

Something like 20m + a buy back clause of double that, perhaps some incentives for success in there too if he does well in general.

 

If we have protected against him turning into a superstar, I think a reduced fee is a worthwhile compromise.

 

 

Lyon’s record transfer is 25m euro?

 

I Wouldn’t expect them to break their transfer record  on Minteh ?

 

Hopefully a buy back or large % sell on clause

Dreaming of seeing Almiron running around like a headless chicken for another season....

 

Not really an either/or situation though. Minteh going doesn't mean Almiron is staying. Or if he does that he will be first choice. Been reported repeatedly that RW is a position we are looking at this Summer.

IMO its our weakest position. Murphy and Almiron are both back ups at best.

Isnt Lyon the club with the crazy owner talking shit about our club when we were after Lacazette? Might be Montpellier.

Was Montpellier when we were after Cabella I think. Blue haired french version of Ashley that fat cunt

I'n not disagreeing with that. More that you seem to equate selling Minteh means Almiron staying/starting, I expect us to bring in a RW, and wouldn't be shocked if Almiron does still leave in this window.

I think Miggy will be gone but due to him being away at Copa America made a sale before end of the month hard.

Can we sell Minteh for $20M then immediately buy him back thus getting around PSR. Buy him back at 25 in installments to make it worth it to another cub.

Well, as of now, it does look as if Minteh might be leaving, and since there is no interest we know of in Almiron, then he'll be staying.

25 million for a player who has had a half decent season in the Dutch league is tremendous money

If he was a feyenoord player and we were offering 25 million for him people would be saying it's a lot of money for someone unproven and they'd want him to be a squad player not thie elite right winger everyone keeps mentioning

A "half decent season". lol.

 

19 years old with a goal contribution per 90 in a top 6 european league with grown ass men... Curious definition of "half decent" that.... There's a reason the Champions League finalists are interested mate

:thup: 

 

There's also a reason top clubs aren't busting down our doors to get Miggy or Murphy signed up instead.

He looked promising. He also looked incredibly raw and frustrating at times.

 

He needs to think about his next move and make sure he's working under the right coach. Howe would be perfect like.
